writing discipline

When I started posting to my other (technical) blog last week, one of the things I kept in mind was that I wasn't going to don the swearypants in that new venue, but keep it over here. I didn't expect my willpower to be tested quite so soon.

Yes, I failed in keeping all bad language out, but in my defense, I responded in the same tone as the piece to which I was replying...

Yeah - I think AK just goofed, we all have those moments of "damn. That really really needed my brain to stop me before I did that". Gods know I've done it often enough (I'm referring to brain-glitches, rather than putting up porn :-)

My annoyance was at people like PJE (who I've given up discussing this with, as he's so not worth my time) who seem to reflexively claim "oh, it's not so bad".

Agreed 100% re: PJE. So over it.
