Subject: RE: BS: anyone seen my vagina thread ?
Peace...did you post the 'tampax' reply originally? or just restore it?
I, personally, think that the **context** OF the not-so-cute reply DID make it 'more offensive' than either 'vagina' or 'tampax' as a word...see how we can differ?
It is not just a word that is in question, but how it appears. I posted a few years ago, a joke that used 'fuck' in its punch line....and the very use OF the word was the point....but I do not think fuck is therefore appropriate in each, every, and any case that someone might want to toss it in. Not on THIS site, anyway....(I've seen a couple where it is the standard)
How do we decide? As noted...thru the rules....I can't prevent people posting in ways that are not to my taste, and I can't do much about it if the executive decision is to allow it.....but I can offer my view...and I have just done that.
