X,A word can only be lewd when it has a strong sexual connotation, according to the dictionary. Also according to the dictionary, a thousand years ago it was not a disgrace to be a lewd person. Lewd is a word from the old English meaning "lay",not belonging to the clergy. The sense of the word "lewd" change a number of times over the centuries, and the sense of the word in modern time is lascivious. Lascivious meaning " of, or marked by, lust". Nothing I have ever said to you is "marked by" lust. I do not believe I have ever used the "F" word on SI, and have only rarely used it anywhere else, even though it is a synonym for intercourse, fornication, and copulation, which are commonly used, and accepted words. I have not used the "S" word for quite some time, and when I did it was, almost always, preceded by the word "bull" which makes it a common expression used in all of the 30 states I have been in.

As to the situation on the Ask God thread, it was an unfortunate, emotional, and painful incident, but it is over, and the fact that you found it amusing gives us an insight on your sadistically, evil, mind bent.

Today, I have a full agenda, and you, most certainly, are not an item on it. I do not find sufficient reason for discourse with you to ever be on my agenda again. Such folly is fruitless.
