For the biggest part, I think most of us are big boys and girls and have been exposed to our share of what I shall refer to as adult humor. As a result, I suspect most of us have become rather immune to it and generally tend to take it all in stride.
But I want to point out I said 'most of us' in both the above sentences.
The site is open for all to visit and to join. Which means impressionable young people are likely visiting the site, but also ladies that might not appreciate what others see as humor. And yes, believe it or not, we have members of the site that do not want their family members exposed to suggestive material. Imagine that, eh?
So just to make it a bit more clear, allow me to pull in a quote from the T-Bucket Forums' Rules -
I don't like having to trot the rules page out in front of everyone. I really don't. But if it has to be done I'm not afraid to do it, either.
A few days back, a former member of this site wasted both his time and my own by trying to explain his use of offensive language in a minimal manner was acceptable. No, it most certainly was not. And I finally ended up blocking his e-mail address to prevent him from sending me any more of his hateful explanations as to why his behavior was acceptable. :hooray: Apparently the puir child was under the impression he was paying the bills and calling the shots around here. I've no idea if he has managed to sort his confusion, even yet.
So let me explain it this way; if you are about to post something to the site, ask yourself if you would expose your own family to the material whilst at Easter dinner. Is it something you want your own children or parents to see or read? If so, then post away. If it is something that you believe might offend someone, then assume you are about to do just that very thing and keep it to yourself.
Does that sound fair enough and make sense to everyone?
For those that feel chafed by such restrictions, I understand your position as well. Please scroll to the top of the page, click on the Sign Out link under your name and move on to some place with fewer rules and expectations.
Hopefully, that will sound equally fair.
Merry Christmas to all.
