I agree if 'fuck' popped up in the WSJ a couple times in an article, most people would have an issue with it. A professional publication like that you wouldn't expect to throw around that kind of language. But your also right in saying I think it could have a negative effect. As with anything I publish, I like to recheck it, double check it again, then leave it and come back to it for a fresh look. I think you'll find a couple 'bad' words start popping into some posts, but nothing to aggressive or offensive. Dan – thanks for the great comment.

I think that what you are doing asking is a major step to make a decision like this. When you say Naomi's audience "loves it" can you qualify that somehow? It seems like if you are asking you may think it will have a negative effect and if there is no proof that it would be "loved" is it worth it? I personally don't think I would care but at the same time, if I was reading the WSJ or the NY Times and it came up I don't know if I would find the author or the article credible. What do you think?
