@humanist7117 learn about semantics much?

[shagster1970]

@humanist7117 Oh get over yourself. Nobody cares about you. Nobody knows about you.

[humanist7117]

No, it isn't. It shows a lack of means of expression. Use of the "f" word indicates a lazy

mind. And it is a sign of gross ignorance to call another person ignorant.

@humanist7117 and yet it is just a word, to let it dull an idea is purely ignorance on your end imo

[humanist7117]

No need for the "f" word. Disgustin and ignorant!
