I didn't examine it and was thinking of "Ebony magazine".
Should teach me coming to soon to conclusions.

The customary approach is to look before leaping, not after.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I didn't realize I was leaping. Looks as I leapt me into a manure heap or something.

Henceforward I shall look every time I am leaping - sorry, posting.

The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.

See, that's another thing with DS ; you have to wait for the M.C.'s signal to start making dirty jokes.  :)

Who was it again who talking about it being a "controlled" environment ?

Kidding aside, it was me who posted that.

The funny thing is that DS is less strictly controlled than DV.

Bannings and thread deletions are almost unheard of.

It's a combination of a lack of trolls and some subtle self-censorship that's the issue.

I'm as guilty as the next guy; not pointing fingers.
For thou art with me; thy cream and thy sugar they comfort me
Thou preparest a carafe before me in the presence of Juan Valdez
Thou anointest my day with pep; my mug runneth over
Surely richness and taste shall follow me all the days of my life
And I will dwell in the house of coffee forever.

Remember, use your powers only for good (or for some cheap laughs).

Yeah like a self censored my Chernobyl thread by putting a warning on it.  (If you've seen the thread you know which picture I'm talking about.)

I'll take that as a compliment Gopher.  Thank you. :-*

Decorum = self-censorship.

That's not necessarily a bad thing of course.

Unless it's taken too far

Hmm.  I would disagree tenk.  Polite behavior doesn't necessarily mean censorship.  You can be polite and still tell someone the truth or what you really think.  It's all about the choice of words and how you deliver them.

sure it does!  no one thinks politely intheir head!  there is a built in filter that some of us posses somewhere between the brain and the mouth....
It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

I don't think decorum is something inherent. In my view it's acquired, like an acquired taste, such as an acquired taste for olives, or for cigarettes.
