I'm not saying you ARE a classless idiot.. you've already showed a great deal of class by the way you've dealt with the teasing and ribbing. I'm just saying that that WORD gives me an initial impression that's difficult to overcome at first.
As a guy who's been through the wringer a couple times myself, I'm just trying to help.
All my best, friend.

Fun fact: Although I sometimes resort to using some coarse words here the word fuck has never been uttered verbally by myself, ever. My the worst word you will hear come out of me is "bloody". This is not some prudish attitude either but more a rebellion against my father who could not string three words together without swearing.
Unfortunately some words are now so common that they really do not have the impact they did in our younger days so I am not adverse to using them in print when they help convey the message or emotions.
Oh, and you are still at the lower level old guy classification here. You would probably be amazed at who is way older than you would ever guess.
