thread still open and coming to the convo late but here are my thoughts.
1. when I first read OP post I was trying to put the scenario in my head. At first, I had assumed that these two men were kind of having an aggressive type of argument with language that was threatening which made OP uncomfortable, which I would totally get.
2. Then I read that OP was simply offended by the language which I had assumed was just maybe using the F word which some people are sensitive about my opinion I just rolled my eyes and thought OK get over it. You might not like it but people have the right to say what they want.
3. I read an update describing what was being said and I think there’s a difference. Example is a few years ago. My mom and I were taking a train and there was a group of young women ironically who were very crude. They were playing loud music drinking, and their conversation was just simply hard to listen. ( white trash drunk women, very "primitive" as my mom said )to sometimes it’s not the language, but the context I would love to have these girls thrown out of the train, and everyone else was just dumbfounded on what was coming out of their mouths . It wasn’t specific words foul language, it was the context and what was being said. I have seen and heard it all and I was dumbfounded.
I’m putting myself in OP's position, and if these men are talking about what I’m putting in my head, what could be possible be ( disgusting stuff) and yelling this really loud it’s basically like putting porn hub on a Beamer in the lounge maybe showing the worst of the worst. Yes there’s free speech and peoples private conversations, but in a way, if somethings being broadcasted with words with that context, what’s the difference than showing? I never would approach people speaking using foul language, but I’m trying to play devils advocate here and if these two men were loudly discussing gross disgusting things using foul language for all to hear I probably would’ve said something myself. They response being so violent verbally just proves a little bit how bad their conversation was. I work for an airline and I’m trying to think of anything were to happen in one of our lounges like this. We definitely would want to hear from customers complaining because this is a type of environment we don’t want to sell to our customers.
