I would also like to add that the excessive use of warez language also does little to impress beyond fellow warez d00dz and is seldom an effective form of communication. Forums like this are excellent locations to practice clear expression of thought and cogent argument, you won’t suffer in your career (we are all known here via aliases, no matter how easy it is to discover our ‘secret identities’) and your argument/persuasion skills can be honed by rubbing against more experienced people who often enjoy the honing experience. The combined experience of the recent additions from DevShed newbies is well in excess of a century and while you may cough up your sleeve comments like ‘suit’, it is suits that pay your bills and if you understand and empathize with them you will have a much less angst ridden and likely much more lucrative career. Many of us have been hiring managers in the past (and some will continue to be in the future) and when we point out things like this we are trying to give you advice on what will help advance your career. If this is a forum where you just like to spout off and trash talk, I suspect many of us will move on as most of us are motivated to disseminate our experience (technically and otherwise) because we like to help and generally only enjoy doing so in a civilized environment. Think about what is really valuable about being crude and what you expect it to get you. A couple of seconds of private amusement can come at the expense of a promising career (as can a few moments of anger expressed in an indelicate manner, but that is a different issue) and while no one expects anyone to be perfect all the time, decorum is often rewarded by decorum and civilized exchanges are more apt to pursued.
Just something to think about. As my friends and family will tell you, my veneer of civilization is quite thin and it takes very little to scratch through, something that has, on more than one occasion, had a negative impact on my career.
