Being completely aware that activerain is an open forum and we can fully express ourselves with the words and pictures of our choice, is it really necessary to use foul language to prove your point or express yourself?
I'm no longer a blog virgin but just barely. I'm not a prude and I've heard or used most of the words and phrases one would find in the Urban Dictionary at one point or another in my 50+ years...no longer though as my mouth has been largely redeemed. Although occasionally I will lose control and let one slip or more often think a bit off color...but it never goes to print.
I find it hard to fathom potential customers coming across a blog where expletives were used, just doesn't seem fitting for professionals, whether it's on the court, the field of play or the blogosphere. It's like watching golf on Sunday afternoon at the Masters with all it's grace and prestige and hearing Tiger Woods let fly some choice words...just doesn't fit.
I see the real estate profession as a noble one, where values are high and integrity is paramount. Call me old fashioned, or just old, but if I come across your blog and the language is off color you're probably not getting my business or my referral.
