I have been on another Scotch Irish list where just the other day someone horribly insulted someone who was just trying to be helpful. I'm with you Ruth. My mama used to say, if you can't say something nice, don't say anything!. All the list people go out of their way with their free time to help others. They should all be commended. My father on the other hand used to say what you said. If you want to get your point across there are an unlimited amount of words, not profane to use. If that's not enough, use Hebrew Greek or Latin.. Better yet, if you don't want an email, mark it as spam or put it on the junk list or blocked sender list. But don't behave in a way that would make your ancestors wish they had never birthed your line.
