Foul mouth indicates one's frustration over a looming loss. You have lost
your manners and, as I've said earlier, none of what you say seems
worthwhile anymore. Not only do you troll, but you're also cursing people

time is better spend mocking me in Digg and systematically modding down all
my comments).
