11. "Aren't you happy to have an excuse to use the "c" word."

Aggressive, hurtful, non-helpful, turns off the person addressed so they won't hear your worthwhile point. That's what I meant by your tone. It would have been easy, especially considering that the person you're responding to has something like 200 posts, for you to correct him/her in a courteous way that might have made him/her consider his/her use of the term. My argument isn't with what you said; it's with the unnecessary anger you showed. We are all on the same side here.

My personal concerns with c*nt vs cunt are another issue, and not what I was really meaning to address.
