Realistically, I think that things here are sometimes taken too seriously. It is just an internet forum. You have to be an adult to use e-ciggs so you should be adult enough to hear certain language. I also think the rules here are a little goofy.
Having said that, I do see the point of view that if a new person came here at certain times, that they could be turned off by coming here at all..........ever again. I am not really in that camp myself. If the conversation wasn't as random as it is (going from serious talk about
mods to risque talk to how Disney is offensive), I wouldn't find it interesting. We are a group of different individuals but everyone is greeted here with open arms regardless of what we discuss at different times.
When I first started coming here, there was the same postings about random things. Although I don't think the jokes went as far, they were still joking to a level that someone could possibly get offended. I think we are all friendly and familiar enough with each other that if anything I said offended someone........I would hope they would send me a PM. I am an adult (sometimes), you are all adults and for as much right as I have to say what I say; you have the right to say if it bothers you. I know that people don't always "get me". It is intentional. I enjoy coming up with things that walk the line or is crazy for the effect. Some of the "original" saloon go-ers don't come around as often or at all anymore and I don't know if that is just circumstance or that the recent talk has driven them away. If it is the talk that happens here......sorry. Say something if you are bothered. I just think that
anything that someone says has the strong potential to offend
someone else. Everyone is so easily offended these days anyway.
I have seen some things that I thought were over the top as well but I don't complain at all. Mainly because I don't care enough but you have no right to get mad about others complaining about you and turn around and complain about something someone else does.
