patrice,
read or don't read. the choice is yours. but at lest you know what to expect. the general posts can be, let's call it "grocery store talk" - things you might say in a store to your friend. those comments would be post-related, although, let's face it, they might wander a little. that might be the time for the next poster to bring it back into line, as a reminder.
do you see any possibility that this could work among grown-ups. because if it can't be considered fair warning between risque and general jokes, than all the arguing (yes arguing - not discussion) in the world is fruitless and a big waste of everyone's time. although i see compromise here and there, no one intends to completely change her mind.
i hope this is acceptable to most people here. i can't think of any other way to be fair to everyone.
