I guess my point was something more on long the lines of the irony of new age of political correctness and it's subtle effect on the moderation of some posts in some forums. Not directed at yourself cueball.
It's just interesting to me that people are ok with the picture here of a bunch of dead puppies as shown in this link
https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...threadid=20709
But this picture which I pulled from here is more offensive

I'm 40 and don't understand. Certainly everyone with kids knows that their kids understand about urination? There are no exposed body parts and the babes in the background are laughing. I also seriously doubt there's anyone on this board who would say they would be in jepardy of losing their job because this popped up on a sports car forum link.

We've got jobs/school/families just like you guys do, and we can't catch everything. If you see something that could be considered offensive, instead of waiting and throwing it back at us later for not getting rid of it, why don't you tell us about it when it's posted? We call it as we see it (as Cueball did in this thread), but since this isn't a full time job, we can't be everywhere at once. Instead of complaining, send a private message asking why something was done, instead of making a big deal out of it in public.

Well if I PM'd you every time I saw something that some person somewhere would find offensive I'd be PMing you all day long.
I'm not ragging on the mods, my complaint is about the new age of political correctness where the theme seems to be that the lowest common denominator determines what is offensive and what is not.
I'm also laughing at anyone who would find this offensive. The presumption that anyone with half a brain would think this is some sort of **** pic off a golden shower site is just mind boggling.

Offensive? Maybe or maybe not. Work-safe for lunch-time browsing without a text link? What do you think?
Unfortunately it is reality where people "push the envelope" to the ragged edge then cry censorship when they cross a line they may misinterpret. A popular forum rule of thumb is "Would you be embarrassed if your mom saw your post/pics?" Regardless your qualms are with the new age of PC. Many of us likely agree.
We can debate "high overly PC standards and wadded panties" until the cows come home. It's still your call whether you wish to abide by the Forum's Terms Of Service. I understand your concern about forum "Netiquette" and it's not asking for much if you think about it. Really.

I've photo-chopped out the kid and will be slapping him on some pics in the future so try to keep those panties unwadded, those that find this sort of picture in violation of their high, overly p.c. standards.
