Run it down this thread:

1) I'm a toxic mutherfucker

2) Because I cuss a lot

3) and whatever you say in an indoor voice, it isn't toxic.

I'm not a machine learning guy, but I don't know I'd describe the problem as "strictness" so much as "lack of context."

18%, by the way, 13% without point 1 and 11% without point 2.
