I guess I need to make clear what I will not accept as appropriate language on the CR list.. I would prefer, in fact insist, that cursing & gutter vocabulary be kept off this forum. It is not a matter of gentility but of good manners and taste.
There is no age or gender or sensitivity test applied to membership, so there are younger members on board, persons from other countries (than the USA, my home) as well as ladies and gents, persons whom all of us I hope would be embarrassed to use such language in front of.
If you would not be embarrassed to use such language in a mixed age & gender group, if you don't care what language or images you invoke, then you are not on the correct list and do not share my taste in behavior. That should not be a problem for those leaning toward excesses, as the world is full of vulgarity and you should be able to find your place elsewhere...
Clear enough?
