Absolutely not! Such low life gutter talk is not acceptable in polite society and shouldn't be allowed in any professional atmosphere. Or am I again trying to elevate HN?

Just ignoere these trolls trying to stick X and shit branding. It'll be gone soon just like their LLM efforts if nobody mentioned.

Peepee poopoo.

Maybe your cultural values aren't my cultural values. Maybe you need to consider who you are excluding by suggesting that using a curse word is unacceptable?

Cursing has a long tradition in lower economic class culture, in some minority cultures, in queer culture, heck in mainstream cultures worldwide we say "shit", etc. You want them all to conform to your one view of how professionals should be? The curse word isn't directed at you, it isn't directed at anyone you know, or even at a person.

No, I think maybe I'd rather live in a world where people are colorful, use language that's authentic to them, and include more people in the dialog.
