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.

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.

[tenkani]

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.

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.

[tenkani]

Decorum = self-censorship.

That's not necessarily a bad thing of course.

Unless it's taken too far      

[Chicklet]

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.

[kits]

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....

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.
