breaching, beaching, it works either way.
and...
1. I see 8 dolphins. No way I can find another.
2. "Think of the dolphins!" :mrgreen: Din, I never, never realised.
3. There is no doubt at all in my mind that the censorship aspect of the TOS at TORC exists is because of Jon and ...erm... ...damn I've forgotten the other fella's name...but anyway, because of their personal religious beliefs as committed christians - of the fervent -only-as-americans-can-believe-persuasion.
I believe that in any given instance, rather than asking ones' self, "Would a 13 year old be corrupted by this?" , one should actually be asking, "Would an adult born-again Christian/fundamentalist be offended by this?". It is not explicit; and I strongly suspect that Jon and TED! :mrgreen: Hey, I remembered his name! ...anyway, I believe they themselves don't see it; they can't see beyond their own paradigm (none of us can) and genuinely believe that they are doing their best to protect the innocence of the young.
Is this an appropriate topic? Have I broken protocol? I don't know what's been said before, elsewhere, ya see...and the fundamentalist christian outlook has always grated with me on TORC, but I've also always felt that people are more or less entitled to believe any way they want - if they also want to run their messageboard in accordance with their principles - well, it's their messageboard and I can't change their principles.
If it's explicit, I have no problems with it. I think, though, that it is not explicit. It is an undercurrent.
4. Heh heh! She said explicit.
