No one is being forced to read anything - so no one is forcing their personal taste upon anyone by posting.

If the reports are right, some people are being blocked access to the forum because of thread titles. They might not be being forced to read anything but apparently are being forced to read nothing.

and to always RESPECT the tastes of their fellow posters?

And whose tastes would those be shambles? There isn't common ground here. My tastes would allow "bad words" at least in a song thread title and view the material JM has as coming under folk (even though those songs are not to my tastes). Nutty takes a different view, etc.

There are times I think the best policy is to try to cater for different tastes, and certainly to try to ensure site access is possible for all.

As far as I can make out, you seem to be advocating no "bad words" in thread titles as that would seem to be the only way that no one could possibly be offended. That to me smacks more of censorship (especially as you will never get 100% voluntary conformance here) than the alternative suggestions.

If that was adopted, what stance would you take when a thread with a "bad word" was started?
