Speak trash (no matter who you are or where you are) and it will come back to haunt you and trash the site you were posting on.

Why is it so "cool" to speak utter gutter language everytime a gay is mentioned?

I hit the abuse button over gutter sexually-explicit metaphors no matter what sexual orientation as I feel it cheapens the site.

Do the respected bloggers have such language on their sites? Surely we are able to discuss without explicit metaphors depicting sexual practices - or maybe we just need to put "XXX" in the title or post a "language" warning.

Do we really want to invite our relatives and friends to FR when instead of being impressed they will think we have gone to the dark side? I remember years ago the first time I mentioned at work something about FR and the comment was "Oh, you better be careful - there are a bunch of weird-o's there". Sort of like we say about DU.

FR is such a great site - why does it need to be disrespected over gutter language?

Why didn't you just say you agreed with Salon.com and leave it at that?

I agree with you about sexually explicit language.
One can get their point across without that.
