Agree, people are WAY to fragile.  

That's misrepresenting what others are saying, JJ. 

Fragility has got nothing to do with it. This has:

I'm not liking some of the language in this thread.  If a meme has words that are not allowed to be posted when typed, they should not be posted.  Also, keep in mind some women post and/or read the forum.  Some of this stuff that is posted would be considered offensive to them.  I ask that you all tone it down a bit.  

You're just being asked to tone it down a bit. Not much to ask, is it.

Oh whoops. Sorry Mike, I think I missed a curse word on a meme I posted. I'm usually quite diligent about picking those up and censoring them, but it looks like I missed one. Sorry about that.

Thanks for your opinion.  I'm going to respectfully disagree with you.  If we were to talk 1:1 we would easily be able to trade ideas and have a meaningful conversation.  But if you want to discuss or posts things on a message board the more people that read it, the more likely someone is going to disagree with you or be offended.  You really have two choices, self censor and have meaningless bland conversations or risk offending someone.  My free speech rights don't stop just because you don't like something I say.  If you don't like that movie director don't go see his movies.  If you don't like the comic don't go to his shows.  Turn off that music if you don't like it but for God's sake please, please, please, don't try and censor folks.  That is what we are seeing with all these fragile adults, it's sad, and un-American.  Thanks.

Do you think you should be able to post whatever you like here without any limitations?

It's been fascinating to me to watch society transition from "do your own thing" when I was a kid to "don't you dare say anything I might find offensive."  I have no respect for these latter days.  How did we allow people to get so arrogant without slapping them down?

I do agree that stuff that's not allowed elsewhere on the site with regard to "dirty" words and the like shouldn't be allowed here either.  That's basically the deal that was made for this thread's existence in the first place.

As I've noted before, this thread has not been used in the way I thought it would be, and a way that I thought would "clean up" all the other threads by sending "off topic" posts "to the cornfield."  It's been used instead as more of a general "post anything you want" thread with predictable results.

Do you think I should be able to tell you what you can and can't post?

You stated you want the boards to be female friendly, reminds me of "it's for the children".  Do you think covers of comics that show super-heroes promoting violence could offend any potential new female board members?  Do you think Vampirella covers might offend any women?  GA bondage covers?  Pre-Code horror covers?  You just want to limit things on the board you don't like.  I'm not ok with that.

The only two types of music I don't like?  Country and western.

Good thing this is just a good ol' fashioned jug band.

I've said several times I'm not a fan of marwood's doo-doo jokes, but never said he cant post them.  And complaining about doo-doo jokes when you do a lot of doo-doo jokes-well that's a head-scratcher.

No, I think as comic enthusiasts they would love them.

Again, no. That's misrepresenting my position again. I want people to stop posting things that are clearly beyond the pale for a comic forum. Mike agrees, and he is the moderator who sets the rules. That is nothing to do with the wider constraints you refer to in society which I agree with you on in many respects.

This is a comic forum. It's not wider society.

I fell like you would have added an actual picture here if you had posted this yesterday or before.  Self-censor?

You think all new potential female board members approve Vampirella, bondage, and Pre-code comics (even the racist WWII comics) and that none of them would be offended.  And you think they put comics in a good light.  Noted.

these apocryphal 'women' who would be too offended to join being used as an excuse to limit posts someone doesnt like is becoming a very tired trope.

We had within our own set people who called out enough, marwood is doing well to not single anyone out, let's leave it at that, and we can all gauge what is to blame.

It's not the end of the world here peeps.

Let's not make that our goal.

I'm against Big Brother, and social credit scores.  I don't agree with everything that onlyweaknesskryptonite and kav say.  But I'll defend their right to post it.
