Potty mouth police on the prowl - annual addition

OK, so I wrote this post 2 years ago: Why I changed my blog from Squarespace to Wordpress.com and BACK again within 24 hours.

It cracks me up that a post about blogging still generates so much traffic here at Mommycosm.  It was atypical both in style and topic for me. 

So, here's the deal.  Every now and again, I get a scathing comment or email about my use of curse words within the post.  Yes, I swore.  Like a sailor.  It happened and I refuse to edit the original post to make it more fluffy and less raw.  It was true to where I was in my mind and as a writer at that exact moment in my life.

About a year ago, I got one of those chastising comments - from an anonymous reader.  Shocker.  I wrote a response: Potty mouth police on the prowl

Not sure if the commenter ever received my message...because I had NO contact info for him/her.  That's what happens when you chose to hide in anonymity and leave judgy-Mc-judgy comments without giving a blog writer the ability to respond.

I must say: I might curse sometimes.  Less so these days because I have evolved a bit as a writer and a person, but still.  At least I'm not a coward.  I don't troll around and judge other people anonymously.  I slip on my big girl panties and face confrontation head on.

*ahem*

Anyhow, I won't change the body of that original post that periodically gets the Potty Mouth Police and their panties all in a bother.  I won't.  BUT, I did add a warning at the top of the post that curses are contained within.

Think that will satisfy the Potty Mouth Police?

Does anyone else have an issue with this?  What are your thoughts on cursing?

(OH, and for you Grammar Police: Yes.  I did mean addition and not edition in the title.  Pun on words.  I have to add something to this topic each year it seems.  Ha, ha...get it?)
