WTF?!

I've been enjoying my little guest spot over here at Mister Anchovy. The only downside is in creating enough material to go around. I currently blog here (for this week anyway) and at A Blog About Nowt and Catablog of Disasters, as well as putting the occasional review on Six Line Reviews. I also have to find time to work, of course.

One of the things that I have found quite interesting is how much restraint and respect I've shown in my guest co-tenure. Not that I'm a disrespectful type, you understand. Far from it. But I have had little conversations in my head about what level of curse words are appropriate or otherwise.

Over at A Blog About Nowt, I use very strong language. One blog-reviewing website said I would be rated R if I were a movie. I like that. Proud I am. But when guesting somewhere else, what do you do?

I have noticed that Mister Anchovy himself doesn't cuss. At least not here, and at least not that I've seen, and I've been visiting for a few months. So on that basis, I would be inclined to follow suit.

Equally, though, he asked me to guest while he was away, presumably on the basis that (to some extent) he kind of likes what I write over at my place, and that's full of sweary bits. So do I give it some of that?

Ultimately, I plumped for the former, adopting a "when in Rome, do as the Romans do" attitude. Did I do the right thing? What would you have done in the same position? I mean, it's not like I have to curse. I just think it's big and it's clever.
