I've valued your input and found it helpful in considering the potential pros and cons.I'm sorry, but your own arguments don't appear to be internally consistent to me. Perhaps I'm not understanding correctly and someone can explain.
You didn't reply to my example of changing "F*ck you" to "Bless you".
I really shouldn't be commenting this much. My therapist made me promise I wouldn't interact with you for a while. And honestly, while I have much to say to a lot of what you wrote, my head is already sore from bashing against a wall. I find it very upsetting that you refer to my distress at being upset about change, and tell me that change can be for the better. I feel dismissed, although perhaps you didn't mean it that way. I have familiarity with this from elsewhere and I have always felt very strongly about this particular aspect of Babble as being a core reason of why I posted here and not elsewhere. I really don't feel you're listening to me if you say that I'm afraid of change. And I'm hard pressed to wish to continue this conversation.
