I stick by my original comments. This is the DH, and I don't want to have to censore myself because of some (or any) child. I would find PT alot less enjoyable, and would contemplate leaving, because it wouldn't be serving my needs any longer. I think my opinion should 'count' just as much as some child's.
I agree. That's what this forum was created for in the first place - things that might offend. Right?
And, if I remember the rules correctly when I signed up, there is an age limit on this site. Fourteen, I believe? So, there really shouldn't be anyone under the age of fourteen reading anything on here, according to the official rules. We shouldn't have to keep every conversation suitable for a six year old. So, basically, conversations need to be "Rated PG-13" ... not rated R or X, for sure ... but also, not necesarily rated G, either.
I've never personally seen anything on Pet Talk that I wouldn't let my twelve year old read. There's a big wide world out there, people, and these teenagers a part of it. I'm quite sure they hear and see far worse things on television, at school, hanging out with their friends than they ever do here. Pet Talk, at it's bawdiest, is still very, very tame.
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
