I have to agree with Cubbybear -- jack*** (I guess I'll put in asterisks, just to be safe) is part of everyday, civilized language, and few would consider it swearing. There's even a TV show (albeit an idiotic one) by this name. Since the term was not directed at the poster, anyone else on this board, or any named individual, I really don't see how it violates civility rules.
If Cubbybear had called the doctor a fool (which it sounds like he was), would that be considered civil?
