The should be's and look who is judging who here in this post!  This is a 
place to discuss anything connected to drinks, drinking, bartending, blah, 
blah, blah.  So go ahead, take a wild stab at whatever cosmic force is driving 
you nuts at that particular moment and express an opinion or argument in a 
positive, respectful manner.

Perhaps properly phrased, one may find it prohibitive to gainful and continued 
employment while expressing rash opinions or thoughts while behind the bar 
tending to the imbibbing consumer's needs.  Even rash isn't the correct word, 
but you get the picture!

And if you are offended by the four letter exploitives, food and beverage work 
is the wrong place!  I can't complete a single day without our sous chef 
screaming something foul at a line cook or pantry/prep person!  As a matter of 
fact, if it doesn't happen, something isn't quite right and it is best to tip 
toe out of that kitchen unnoticed and unscathed.

Respect goes both ways.  While I may not agree with you or queneau's thoughts, 
expressions, theories, observations or the words used to infer the desired 
intention, they are a welcome diversion to regular ho hum, and I respect them.

Peace and lots of love.  ;-)
