Default German Comedy

I know the authors meant no harm, but this is one case that I think censorship was in order. BTW, there was one offensive word that escaped being edited. I don't have moderator priviledge on this segment, so I can't fix it. My thanks also to Michael for his apology.
Dear Ron:

Not to seem offensive or argumentative in any way, as I respect your right to your own opinion, but other cultures, the German culture for instance, wouldn't consider my comments "pottymouth", as this noun/adjective is used constantly in their language. This may seem strange or even slightly vulgar to the American eye or ear, but it isn't really meant that way in common German usage. I have even heard this word used in the Church House there.

On the other hand, I realize there is a time an place for everything. The forum is a place I come to relax, and I don't expect to have to sit in front of my computer with a stiff back or neck, dressed in my Tux, perhaps.

Class, well, that is a very subjective thing to define. I wouldn't pretend to define it for anyone else, or attempt to force an American definition of it on a German, for instance.

My real goal was to add a bit of comedy to a thread, that I believe, could subject the commenters and web host to charges of libel by the individual who is being fried here.

Let's go in peace.
