I
think the parents in this thread mean is that specific images and
languages should be commonly agreed to be forbidden in the presence of
children. This may include just never hanging up that centerfold or
simply talking like you would to your grandmother when you see a child.
I'm not talking about giving up your soul, but trying to talk
differently doesn't hurt.<br>

Thank you for illustrating this so clearly, Dan. This is quite
precisely what I was getting at. I have absolutely no intention to
change my behavior in order to accommodate children, just as our
robotic SWARM orbs are not going to change the laws of physics to
accommodate them.<br>
<br>
If parents want to bring their children in... whatever. Just know I'm
not going to water down what I'm saying to appeal to your grandmother.
Talking differently DOES hurt my ability to clearly communicate. <br>

I guess we know who the child haters are, eh?<br>
<br>
Thanks for your sensitivity (not) to children. While I don't expect
people to dramatically change behavior, I would think that people
wouldn't talk to my daughter about cocksucking either, for example. If
that's too much to ask, I guess it is good to know.<br>

And what is it about for you? Ego?<br>
