I agree with Moonbaby, we're mostly 'grownups' here. Nevertheless there was really no need for anyone to jumpall over poor old oggie. A similar request was made a year or so ago and a few of us are voluntarily better behaved for having heeded it.

A couple of other thoughts...

Many songs and lyrics have been lost because early collectors prudishly avoided or Bowdlerized them. One of Mudcat's primary concerns is for the preservation of folk singing 'As it is'. And as Max has stated - Life may contain things that are offensive.

Also, judging by the number of submissions of material that we have received for 'Mudcat for Kids', it appears that most Mudcatters are not greatly concerned about kids.
