Depends on who's doing it. Anyone with healthy wiring will pay no attention to some isolated, closed-off gink whose sole pleasure in life seems to be finger-wagging about other people's supposed naughtiness (or, gasp! cuntishness!)

One almost wishes there was a Ninth Circle of Hell and a reserved place therein for those few benighted souls whose hobby is standing on a soapbox and pointing out the obvious. Calling those people cunts doesn't really help anyone but their victims.

There are some people who used to think they had God on their side when they wagged that finger. They drop that and they're like recovering alcoholics, some of them, trying desperately to stay on the wagon.
