I, personally, think that you all can write whatever you like.
I ask for discretion on the part of the author.  Some people are going on
about it as if I were asking for totalitarianism.  I'm not asking for
control.  I'm asking for good taste.  Whose standards?  Society's.  

Ah yes, societies.

WHICH societies?
Yours in whichever US state you are in?
Mine, in England?
(I assure you, they aren't the same!!)

Or those in Canada, Australia, etc etc

(Don't give me that "How do we know what society's tastes are" line.  Some
of you know well that what you have written is far outside the boundaries
of good taste.)  It's not nice to wade through some dude's perviest take
on the series then get told "Well, you shouldn't have read it."  I just
want a bit of judgement.

Judgement?
Don't ask for judgement, lest you be judged.

Me. I'll ask for mercy...
