Again, I do have find a conflict with the guidelines and this type of content in this type of setting. And on a personal note, for anyone who may think a: "Just lighten up will ya?" is needed, well, in other settings, I might could put others to blush with what is in my joke and dirty word library and prehaps I choose not to due to the setting, the "audience" and the expectations of these boards.

> I wish this would get addressed. Even in the old days one would get a: "I'm letting it stand" which I guess at this point is assumptive....(sigh).... I'm getting afraid of the next thing to be found posted will be the inclusion of "hilarious" porn links for humour's sake...... : ) or : (I agree with you..my objections are known here and I even listed several words that can be slipped in that are sexual when they are in the "guise" of a "funny" joke. .......I don't guess it matters now. The word has come down from Administration and we'll just have to live with it. I don't care what country this website originates from.....decency is the same in South America, Sweden, etc. etc. Americans don't have a monopoly on good taste.
I think that a warning should be in the subject line and I'll go so far as suggesting that a forum be established for such jokes.
There isn't any limit here on anyone of any age participating. Doesn't that bother anyone?
Guess not. Administration? No. Some posters? No.
