Jonas, I believe you have landed on a topic that should be discussed. I’m not thrilled with the increase in profanity I also see increasing on Medium (and unfortunately in general conversations too for that matter — another subject). I will tell you and other Medium writers this: I do like to forward and Like many articles on this excellent forum, but I will not forward/Like articles, no matter how good, to friends/family where the F bomb is dropped simply because, say what you want, those words are offensive. It’s possible other readers feel the same way… and if you want more forwards/Likes, you may consider this. Thanks!
