thank you for your input. i say conservative because i feel that people who thought it was funny would not have complained. you're right. i may have been wrong. it may have been the raunchiest person on the board.
although that makes no sense to me whatever.
if you believe that it's okay for there to be a diary of adult jokes, then what would you have the subject be called? and how would one keep young adults away from it. i would hope that children are supervised when using computers, so that's a moot point, right?
personally, i don't want my family to see the downers that are on the personal column here. and i don't want to read them either. so i just don't. and i believe that's only fair. i can't understand why others can't afford me the same rights that they feel entitled to. you write what you want to and whoever wants to can read it. I write what i want to and whoever wants to can read it. if i give fair warning, then don't read it. when a post explicitly says DON'T READ, why read? if someone says the stove is hot, do you put your hand on it?
if you read my previous answer on this post you will see that i warned everyone in CAPITAL LETTERS that there was material that some might find offensive. no one was obligated to read it.
what i mean by follow through is this: deliberately going past the warning sign when they know what to expect and then reporting to the teacher. yes, i want to be treated as you would have me treat you. i treat you with the respect that you, as an adult with opinions, should be treated. i put up warning signs. do others prepare me to listen to their stories of woe and grief? i have enough of that in my own life. you don't have to hear it and neither do i.
if you don't want your teenaged daughter to be exposed to this humor, then turn off your tv, don't allow her to go to the movies, school or have any friends. cut off all communication with the world, because adult subject matter will not go away.
sincerely though, i do appreciate that you took the time to answer. that is what open forum is for, after all.
