The only exceptions might be the OCCASIONAL “barf alert”

.

Makes the forum sound like a bunch of 3rd grader who must be warned in advance of what they read.

There's some truth to what you said. However, the "barf alert" has a very long history on FR and it probably got started at a time where it was more of an inside joke than it is today. I can remember posts where people would say "hey, you forgot the 'barf alert'."

So, in a bow to tradition, I'm okay with that. That said, though, people really did police themselves better on such things in the past.

Tonight I see the forum is much cleaner for the most part, so maybe finally speaking up a little here and there brought back some of that civic-mindedness! OTOH, the posters who add the (what the title really means and really means to me and you should know it now before even clicking on the thread because otherwise you might not get it) paretheticals maybe aren't out and about so much tonight. :)
