    I see my associate Neil Clark has used the 'f' word in his article on the Rooney incident. (http://www.thefirstpost.co.uk/77230,people,news,alex-ferguson-and-wayne-rooney-fuck-off-two-peas-in-a-pod) Shouldn't your point also apply to journalists?

    It has become so ubiquitous that its justified use is becoming impossible to identify and it has lost its power to shock, which means more recourse to physical violence instead.
