'People' eh? Trying to impose their pesonal values. Well, thats 'people' told.

Bodgers post wasn't unreasonable. I didn't agree with him, I still don't agree with him. I don't see any 'people' trying to impose their values on anyone else, and I don't like your implication. Be specific with your implication or, please, don't make it, because a generic 'people' comment like that comes very, very badly.

Bodger suggested something that while most of us didn't agree with, wasn't unreasonable, and it wasn't a rudely made suggestion. Can't we just leave it at that?

People seem to be forgetting that the first rule of NC is that you can't talk about anyone who isn't a member of NC.

So the one thing it certainly isn't is a place where an inclusive club and talk about the non members, that doesn't happen, at all.

My comment wasn't made to Bodger, but in general terms in that people seem to have a problem with swearing and silly jokes, and having fun, but don't seem to be able to let others just get on with it, without making a huge fuss.

In the interests of balance I also think that people who get the vapours at the sight of certain four-letter words are a bit pathetic .

I seem to recall a rather extensive debate where you made your views on that quite clear. Only one that generates steam (from my ears) is Pope and I get moderated in the main forum for making my views on that one known.

What happens to peoples' online status when they are in the naughty corner? It doesn't appear in the 'who's online?' section, so do people register as offline when they're in there?

They will probably show as forum index I would think, but I don't know.

It does appear in the 'who's online' thing - provided you're not a hidden user that is.

I'm not a member of the naughty corner, not because I can't stand to look at swear words, rude humour or 'fun' but because I don't like the bit about it being OK to be personally insulting. For me that just gets in the way of a good debate. Reading whole pages of 'your momma's so fat' just to get to one post about the actual subject would be tedious for me.

Actually, we usually just compare each other to dead dictators, and post photographs of undercooked chicken legs.
