Am I the only one who thinks this is hypocritical? I don't care how immature or gross it is; it's free speech by the people who post on this site. What will be banned next?
13. Come on, there is a time and PLACE for everything...
This is a political forum, for heaven's sake. From the amount of sexually explicit spam I'm getting on my five email accounts, people will have NO problem finding an alternate forum for sexually explicit discussion.
12. it seemed that people were trying to out-slut each other.
I agree with Skinner's decision to ban sex threads for awhile. The polls were out of hand. This kind of stuff happens in waves... new crop of DUers come aboard, new sex discussions. Not that I didn't participate in many of the threads myself, but some of them made me a bit uncomfortable. :shrug:
I agree that every time we get a slew of new people this happens and I agree it was getting a little weird on some of the threads.
I don't agree with Skinner unilaterally cutting off threads about sex. I figure it would have died down on its own in another day or two anyway either because we ran out of topics or because people would get bored with it or because the rest of the DU community would step in and gently nudge people back into line with the long-term community norms. For the admins to simply ban the topic by executive fiat just pissed people off.
