If children young enough to be harmed by that image actually read lugnet in

Soren, one is a meaningful number where that is concerned. But the bad-taste
quotient in general was really my particular lament--not having children or
being an actual small child, I’ll leave that outrage to those who may.

I appreciate your concern, but I find it interesting that you would complain
about a mildly sarcastic reference to a body part which I find beautiful and
natural, and not to Sophie’s repeated and laughable threats of physical
violence in this same thread. I consider those far more harmful to children.

I think you’re missing something. The point is that those other threats being
broached are not only being addressed with due unction, but they’re also not
especially surprising. The crux of my comment was that I expect better from
you, from a knowledge of your posting history. Just because someone’s out there
making threats and acting badly does not mean that it’s suddenly OK to be just a
little less crass.
While I accept, sadly, that some denizens of these waters seem to be unable to
control themselves, it really bothers me much, much more when someone I have a
very positive impression of stoops to such a level. Otherwise, what would be
the point of fussing?
