Thread Name: ADD: 'Fuck You Jane Fonda' Vietnam Song (bawdy)
Subject: RE: pg13 Add: 'Fuck You Jane Fonda' Vietnam Song
seems we still mix up what ought to be the issue *HERE* at Mudcat...

It IS a bad song, poorly written and lousy sentiments, but John M. can collect it if he wants, for historical completeness. No one is likely to be corrupted by glancing at it.....

All I would like to see, (though it seems I am overruled, by both John M. and Joe Offer, is a standard for thread **TITLES** which would help keep Mudcat from being filtered out by censorship programs.

It would be easy to create a thread title...such as "Viet Nam era song critical of Jane Fonda" with the lyrics inside the thread, but John M. has this principle to uphold, weakly defended by his claim that if he doesn't SAY 'fuck' in the title, no one will guess what he is referring to. ANYONE who was in 'Nam and/or ever heard the song would know!

But, once again, I am hollering down a well, as most of you would rather debate the value of the song and its sentiments, instead of the pragmatic issue of how Mudcat will function when threads like this are current.

(yes, John M, I know that my one more post keeps it alive one more day.....I avoided posting until it was obvious that it was gonna stay up anyway..)
