:( it's the second time today I've read the 'F' word on HN. I usually don't encounter it here which makes me like this community more.

I'm not a leader of this community so my opinion doesn't matter but as a fellow human I'd like to request that you use another word to express yourself. I know this is subjective but I wanted to share this with you. In any case, I hope you have a good day :)

Cursing is pretty common on here. Just re-read the guidelines and there's no rules against inappropriate language like the "f-word"... Especially when considering such a benign usage as the parent comment, ie: just replacing the verb in "mess with" which is not targeting the language at anyone/anything.

It may not be as common as other platforms, but casual conversation does happen here which includes the occasional curse word.

Just trying to inform - I'm sorry you're sensitive to it.
