We had a question about Bill W. commenting on
the use of foul language at meetings.

Dr. Bob had a comment on that issue, see the
last paragraph on page 224 of "Dr. Bob and
the good Oldtimers":

"While Dr. Bob's remarks were usually kind,
Dan K. (who had been one of Doc's many patients
at St. Thomas Hospital) noted that if a man
was a phony, he would tell the man so. "And
if he was sitting at a meeting and a man
used bad language, Dr. Bob would say, "You
have a very good lead young man, but it
would be more effective if you cleaned it
up a bit."

Also, page 298 refers to "the language of
the gutter."
