In all honesty, if someone called me "a thrice-cursed stain on the dirty socks of society" I'd probably laugh at them, not feel insulted or admonished or whatever the attacking intent was.
Context matters in writing. Starting sentences with conjunctions is fine if you're writing as if it's taking the place of speech (like LJ, in most cases). Obviously that's not the case in, say, a formal academic paper.
