Given this quote from Dr. Bob - the link I posted in the beginning of the thread. Emphasis (**) placed by me:
-"Fun that's uncivil can be fun, **but doesn't fit with the mission here.** But there are plenty of other sites for that, and people here can probably suggest some. And you can stay here, too, it's not either-or.If you want to have some civil fun, be the change you wish to see and post something fun here! Well, not *right* here, but on another board. :-)
Bob"-
I really do not understand however, I can, I guess accept or perhaps see it as a deal breaker.
As I've posted over and over, as far as the factor of offensiveness: It is not about if it SHOULD be offensive but about the fact that some posters DO find it offensive - and yes, depending on the specific content - hurtful, demeaning and degrading. It would appear the needs of others to post such trumps the sensitivity of others to the content.
I do appreciate your support.
