Honest Question

[whyBish]

Now, if the Lounge is rated PG13... Why is it that if somebody drops an F-Bomb, a filter nails it and turns it in to something else? Why is it we can show scantily clad videogame vixens in various screenshots but a partially decomposed horse posted by Warlocke gets the axe? We have had screenshots dipicting the wonton carnage of a Necromancer going bananas with corpse explosion, showing the whole screen with blood and gore everywhere... And chain casting blood golem to leave piles upon piles of disgusting guts and gore scattered all over Kurast leaving poor Ormus looking a wee bit green... But people raise objections over the words "raisins and cocktail weenies."

Thoughts? Opinions? Flames?

I don't care about how you use language, if I met you in real life I wouldn't mind if you swore with me, to me, or at me.
But I do care about respect:

Welcome to Boltys' lounge,
if you #$%^ on the floor,
then don't be surprised,
when your $%^ hits the door.

I think I stole this poem, but can't remember from where. Apologies to original author.

Swearing at the Lounge is being direspectful to
- Bolty, for not following the rules
- Other Lurkers, for wanting to be special and not have the rules applied to you
- Admins, for forcing them to spend more of their time to scrutinise your posts
- Yourself, for not getting your ideas across because the focus shifted to behaviour
