No, David, they can. The tics and involuntary movements is the primary
point of Tourette's. One doesn't have to be an ass. There is a
difference between the events in Tourette's (even the swearing or
other random words) and simply being an ass. And to be quite clear:
the swearing and bad attitude quite commonly associated with
Tourette's shouldn't be manifesting itself on the 'net.

I strongly suggest that you wait fifteen minutes before responding to
anything, and then edit what you send -- because you're coming across
like a hormonal fifteen year old who claims to know far more than he
does.
