Hey Edog, For what it's worth I got blasted some years ago before we had the Life and Universe thingy, by 2 women who were offended by something I said.
I meant it to be funny as this is my nature,but found my sense of humor wasn't excepted by all the members.
It took me quite a while to try to be myself again and make people laugh but it will never be the same for me.I hold back a lot now and as a matter of fact I don't post as often as I used to because I just don't feel as "free" as I did before I got chastised.
I'm 62 years old,fat,bald and full of the devil! I've also been told that my biggest problem lies between my chin and my nose and maybe it is but that's me and that's that.
I've been trying VERY hard to behave myself here but it's a real bummer trying to type with a muzzle on!!!
Take care buddy,,,,,

You think that you hold back? I'm a retired sailor, I've been banned from two Chevy Truck message boards. I highly value the people here and my membership as well, I bite my tongue alot. ;D lol

Instead of having to bite our tongues...why can't we have another section that specifically states that it contains explicit language that may be offensive to others? Better yet, why can't that be stated on the Life, Universe, and Everything Else board? I'm just another tongue-biting member. I'd love to go toe-to-toe with connrock and bikerrandy. It would be a regular laugh-fest. BTW, randy, I'm former Air Force Police. I gotta few good ones up my sleeve, too. LOL!

Because this is supposed to be a family forum and a place to help people learn about rock tumbling. If you so need to have a forum where you can post that kind of stuff, start a nasty joke forum and let the members here know that they can post anything there. Forums are free, click on the link at the bottom and you guys can post all your objectionable stuff there. Just please, keep it off of here.

Been in construction 37 years, and I produce way more than my fair share of profanity. I'd much rather do without it here. That's one thing, among many, that sets this board apart. And helps in keeping a civil tone throughout the board.

Cher's right people. I can be just as crude as the next person and believe me, I am, when I'm in the right company. But I learned a thing called RESPECT when I was a kid and I still have it to this day. This IS a rock message board and there are people of all ages and backrounds reading it, so use a little common sense when deciding to post something here, even if it is in the Life, Universe section. There, now "Can't we all just get along".

I'm not sure I understand what it being bitten back but you could always schedule a time for unleashing those things in the chatroom - call it "nappy hour" ;D.

We have a chat room? Everytime I go to the chat room, I'm all by myself. I tried talking to myself there once and never did get a reply!!!

Thing is, if we only talk about rocks and not "objectionable" things, then that would mean no more prayer requests, patriotic subjects, talking about our wives/husbands/significant others, politics etc.
Do we want to take that away altoghether? Someone is going to be offended at one point in time in one way or another. How far do we take this?

i havent said 1 thing about this whole topic...but im going to ramble for a few minutes...or an hour...i cant type ;D...theres a lot been brought up..family...biting tongues...feelings....this is just my take on it. first of all...i made a mistake of saying something about someones necklaces..that i didnt like...i was not beat up hard for it...but i realized from some other members following posts...that maybe i should have said nothing..i realized my mistake...and wont make the same 1 again ....i kinda read between the lines. my son is allowed to read the whole board...he is no longer allowed to post...but he can read every topic if he wants to..jokes also. i like the jokes...but when i seen the pic that is causing all the problems...i thought to myself...WOW...hes in for it...and sure enough...WOW was he...but it does seem like he new that...just not to this extreme...and im not going to say whether i liked it or not...see i learned ;D. but on the other hand...earthdog posted a joke something about walmart....i thought it was funny as heck...but cp read the joke...he told me he didnt get it...and i asked him why not...then he asked me what LAID meant...fortunately for us this question was ok....but i can see...how this might cause problems for others. i am glad earthdog is back...and i sure wish hermatite would come back...i know that i always read the posts from people like hermatite..earthdog...sandsman..cher..bikerrandy..pho..rockyraccon...xenaswolf...you get the picture..and others..you know who you are...there is a lot of knowledge there...so hermatite...your knowledge is so much wanted...and it really needs to be shared with us newer folks. but as far as the jokes go...maybe if we ask ourselfs before we post 1...would i want...or would this offend my daughter..son...wife...mother...the folks next door..you know what i mean...but for the most part....i lov'em...just ask yourself before posting 1

Hey, would you believe that the first truck board I was banned from had a "dark side" forum? Here's the funny part, I got banned for something that I posted in that section! (it was nothing vulgar in any way, just a joke at the moderators expense)

I think this board should be kept clean, if you need to get raunchy there are other places to go on the web. There are little kids on this board, gaetz daughter is " Rainey " is on this board. I don't think he would want his daughter to accidentally Read some garbage someone posted. I am no prude by any means, I have bitten my tongue on some stuff posted here. This is just a fun hobby site with people who love rocks & find interesting things to do with them why trash it up. Well thats my 2 cents worth. Tony
