I would like to say I am reassured that you are able to see other points of view, but it is consistent with my expectations. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother.

Suffice it to say I have seen hatred blossom to violence, and I've seen off-color humor simmer into sexual assault. In some cases, the perpetrators were reputable community leaders.

Though I don't suggest anyone here is attempting anything so untoward, sexual humor is sometimes used to groom or to select victims of assault, and other times as an element of promiscuous seduction. I also know something about critical public presentation of untoward humor. It doesn't seldom take the form of "This is awful but ..." Critical presentation usually includes more than simple repetition of the "awful" humor.

I agree it would be constructive to have friends with whom one could discuss difficult topics freely. But we are repeatedly told guidelines at this forum are not about feeling or thinking freely, they are about posting what the admin thinks is best for "the group." I disagree with the concept, and the only thing I especially like about his board is that there are not boxes around the posts, but it suits my purposes to comply with the terms of service. That might be why my posts appear civil to you.
