At the time, I thought it was an appropriate post, but I've been slammed all over the place for it. Yeah, I'm crude. So are you, Major Nikon, MFM, and sometimes LynneSin, but we've got a conflict of standards and it isn't like GD where you just can't joke about anything. I think the general opinion is we need to back off on sexually-related stuff, but that's a good third of The Lounge material to begin with. Then again, there's always the "ignore" feature.
