Straw man (no one here has said he "enjoys" cheap language, merely that some of us use it and are not offended by others using it) and false dichotomy (I would submit that eliminating the "cheap" from your language reduces your creative palette, rather than increasing it as you imply.)

You and I would both skip that post if it showed up on LAU in reference to some creative work, I'd bet, let alone in place of an offhand comment about someone stuck in a self-described creative dry spell.
