Aye, I think you should say (type?) whatever you want, whenever you want. I only choose not to excessivel curse in my sentences because sometimes my mother looks at my artwork...! Also, communication works both ways. The other person should also be unafraid to voice his words, regardless of how inane they may seem to you. The key is to NOT walk on eggshells. Don't worry about it, let the anger flow through you and treat THAT person different in the future, but just because one person is dishonorable to you doesn't mean that you should lower yourself and be dishonorable to them, necessarily... That said, THE image is what should really count, not a PERSON'S image.
