Why Is There So Much Vulgarity Among Ostomates?

This may seem like a strange question to be asking, but I've noticed that a majority of people with an ostomy that take part in forums like this one are just plain nasty. I've had my ostomy for 16 years and just once in a while I'll hop on a forum to see if there is someone who needs help or understanding about their health problems and every time I discover that most of the posts are dirty jokes, nasty language, and obscene suggestions. You would think that a physical problem of this sort would attract loving and caring people that are anxious to be helpful, but not so. It makes me ashamed to admit that I'm an ostomate. I hope I can keep it a secret.

Wow!! I've been on this site now for 6 months and have yet to see anything vulgar. I have found the people here to be kind, very helpful, and extremely knowledgeable. I've only seen a few curse words used so far. I am not sure where you are referring to as I've seen very few and far between colorful comments.

Yeah wow, this site helped so much, I mean really who do you know with this infliction? No one, felt so alone and disgusted by myself every turn.
But it ended up being so damn strengthening, I got fucking moving, really only another choice.
That's
Honesty
Truth
I was damaged by a procedure and ended waking with this, I understand all of you.. perhaps you had to have it, I get it.. doesn't matter either way.
Just wanted to share that

Hey Harley, love you too. Somehow I missed your March 15 reply and I really wish I had not. Thanks for your kind expressions and I promise to be more vigilant in the future.

I'm not sure the administration will approve but I'll try to resubmit "The F word" in the "Just for Laughs' section.

Much apreciation,

Mike

VulcanBmk2 sounds as if you might be an ex-blue job. I used to be the other end of the runway at Akrotiri.
