To All,

I spoke with Bruce today, and he has a concern that ALL of us can, and should help with.  Understand that having fun is great, but some threads are getting out of hand since the removal of the no swearing etc...  I believe that all of here can post without the graphic crudeness that has appeared lately.  Yes, it does not have to be read, BUT it is by some, and some of younger ages.

This is Bruce's site, and he graciously extends it to us free of charge, so why don't we try to make an effort to watch what we post and how.  I would hate to see this site disappear because of the trash that some have allowed to get out of hand, because of noone being able to monitor regularly. This site does not need the swearing and explicit sex talk, at least these could be eliminated.

Those that feel they NEED to do this, or should be free to do it, are wrong.  It is like borrowing someone's car and leaving your trash in it, not putting gas back in, and allowing the body to be damaged.  PLEASE, let's make a sincere effort to use what Bruce has loaned us wisely, respectfully, fairly, and still have fun!  I am sure that this can be done, and that we can still keep this site fun.  Hope to see some suggestions, and Bruce did not know I was postin this, I just sensed in his voice the frustration of the Clone users and he inplied his feeling of unapproval for the trash that has gotten out of hand.  Thanks to all who read this with a open mind and heart!

Dave

What do you mean by explicit sex talk?  What's wrong about talking sex?  I'd rather talk about that then religion.  Funny how its the religious people that want sex swept under the carpet (personally, I like being under the carpet).  But yet I just went out with a pastors daughter and whoooooohhhhhooooooooo!  Yeah baby!

Viva Viagra!

While the NON bowling related board is just for that,...NON bowling stuff.......it doesn't mean it has to get vulgar w/ abusive language and such.

Can we poke fun at eachother here and there........SURE, why not.....but it does need to calm down a bit,...I agree

Like I mentioned before when Scott was still here and he got pissed at this suggestion LMAO....anyhow....

Keep it clean, if you can't say in on prime-time tv, then it's not necessary.

Also, keeping in mind,....prime time tv can be pretty racey!

No more ball reviews, ok. I don't like it when people go on and on about their balls.

There's a happy medium that is cool for just about everyone. I mean there's room for discussion of just about any topic, but when someone is swearing obnoxiously or being overly graphic, they know it. I can't speak for Dave but I bet he'd agree with that leftside. That's why he said EXPLICIT, that's over the top stuff that's unnecessary. And by the way, this is my opinion.

What I find rather amusing is so many are concerned with the younger members.  Take a look at the youth posts once in a while, they are worse than most of the posts in this area.  What are we protecting the youth from?  Just my opinion/observations.

I did NOT say ban sex post, just the vulgarity that usually is attached.  Thanks Leftside, for your "as usual comment", that really did hurt, if you care whether it did or not.  All I was saying is that we need to do ALL things in moderation and maturity.  Some of the sex comments have been rather immature and crude.  As for religious stuff, if a opinionated question is posted, then the opinion will be given, and why that position is held.  Post away people, just TRY to be curtious and mature about it.  At least my religious comments have been because I care, the crude stuff is just bad.

If we ban sex talk, lets also ban religious discussions. Not everyone is as perfect as you think you are Dave. While I agree with the jist of your post, you always take it one step to far.

Just my Opinion.

TT, you're quoting a misquote, as has been noted...
There's nothing wrong or inappropriate about discussing sex, or religion. I think we're designed for both, that is sex and worship.
