RE: What does flagging do exactly?
I am not the one wh flagged you, but I can say that profanity in your headline does not help your cause. I,as many others do not appreciate or see the need for profanity in a post. If I see it in a headline, I go no further. Which is a shame, because I do believe there could be a good message that is clouded by profanity or even hate speech
I don't use profanity in my headlines?
Did you mean the use of @$$hole? (Not sure how to convey it, I don't mean offense). That's the actual name of the account flagging everyone.
As for profanity in my writing... Well that's used to convey something specific, and it's part of who I am. I try not to be to careless with it.
While I agree to some extent, that some profanity best fits the the description of the message you are trying to convey, it may not be appropriate. We've gone thousands of years describing our feelings and putting out our message without profanity. Now it's the only way to communicate? I'm just saying, if you want more people to read your post, you may want to hold off on the profanity in the headlines.
Again, I don't use profanity in my headlines. I'm a bit more clever than that.
However I'll point out that profanity has been around long before jesus.
But I do agree, gratuitous use of profanity diminishes its meaning and effect. As with most salt, it's best to use in moderation.
The word @$$hole is profanity.
Ahhhh. That's in the lede if I'm being pedantic. Still, I appreciate your feedback. Thank you.
My Bad. I meant the lead, as well as the headline.
