> Natural alone does not make it good.
What I've been talking about isn't about "going natural." Someone not wearing deodorant, for example, because they want to be "natural," isn't the same thing as a writer choosing a particular word because it says best what they want to say. And there will always be people who don't like what someone writes, for whatever reason--content, wording, style, etc. That doesn't make it wrong to write it. There are things written on these boards at times that I consider unsupportive (although not enough to be obviously uncivil) that don't contain any four letter words. Supportiveness is about meaning and intention, which can be expressed with different types of language.
