"Quaffer! Long time! Where have you been?"
"I went visiting. I'll give you a hint. Miss, bring me and my mate a Fosters. Please."
"Aha! How's London?"
"Seems better. Back in the game. A little troubled. We had a nice chat."
"Who would be crass enough to trouble I Survived the London Blitz?"
"Nailed it! The crass part that is. Seems some admin kept using a word normally used by the less gentile to describe a bodily function.
"He straightened him out but wanted my take on it. It was crude, not profane.
"We agreed that once was a slip, but again and again, not so much. I told him that I thought he was right to address the issue and that it was the sort of thing I did not want to hear coming out of my kids mouth. That's the standard that I use."
"Well Quaffer, some kids think that using words that make the little kids giggle, and the old ladies scowl is a way to show how grown up they are."
"Funny, I figure that refraining from using them was more a mark of maturity. My father once told me that a gentleman is someone who is never intentionally rude. It turned out well; The admin said he wouldn't do it again.
"Still, I kept thinking about it on the way home. Here's what I should have brought up. The big thing about EdgeGamers is we encourage respect on the servers."
"That's why I play here."
"Well think about it. How does using a word like that come across as a form of respect? Not the tone were trying for is it?"
"Well Quaffer, you know what I do when it's going South and I can't catch a break?"
"What's that?"
"I don't key my mic."
"Yeah well, you know what they call a guy like you."
"What?"
"A gentleman."
