Back in the days of the Free Speech Movement, when using f*** and c********* and other, up til that time, descriptions in everyday life was verboten -- and around the time of Lenny Bruce's classic monologue on the topic -- using these terms was a POWERFUL statement. .... Now that so many people use f''' every second word, it no longer has much power. In fact, it has become a rather weak expression.

If that's the case, it would show by people ignoring it and bypassing over it instead of making a big stink and fuss about it. The desperate need to attempt to insult someone else's educational and creativity levels are a dead giveaway in this regard. I find it ironic that these directly insulting and offensive responses are deemed acceptable against people with a habit of peppering their speech, while said peppering is falsely maligned as some type of lack of consideration for others when nothing personal or conscious drives it at all. Very interesting little hypocrisy-revealing juxtaposition indeed, that.
