So, we're no longer a generally PG-13 forums?
We've gone down to PG, if that?
To be honest, it's fairly insulting to the intelligence and maturity of the forum goers.
On top of that, you also assume a lot of child/mother relationships. Not everyone is overly sheltered.
I'm sorry you have that opinion, and while I can understand it to some degree, we have to be pretty obvious with what we consider [in]appropriate. Also, please do not cause more drama than necessary.
