I have re-read your comments above.
This is what I have to say. You have a very valid point, and sentiment -- if I understood you correctly.
You are bringing the point that we could market better to a wider audience by being somehow more careful on the strength of the language and avoid some conflicting references.
I actually notice KL-666 doing an effort to blacklist words that could have an unintended meaning crossculturally above. So in a way, some of your message is getting through.
Now, here is the funny part. Your way of bringing such message is contradicted by the way you have brought that message here. As in, I feel you had not marketed it that well, base simply upon tact on the conversation. You have go ad-hominem at least toward two people here in this thread and subsequently you've got a defensive response (I said this without my moderator hat on. I left it on Stuart's closet, if he needs it)
I agree with you, Jwocky can be blunt when he uses rules of engagement! [His rules of]. And you are right, I rarely curb him. I did need to moderate in the past on this board to JWocky, and we find a truce that he keeps unbroken -- unlike your promise to me before that questioning your opponent intelligence was a means of argumenting: That truce you broke. and with an attitude. (again not moderating you here either).
So, yes. Again, I find your message valid. Your way of marketing your message in direct contrast with the message itself
In any case, I recognize that JWocky frequently comes in my defense. And when he is the bluntest, he is actually protecting my back. I think he knows I avoid reacting that aggresively, and he knows sometimes I need some help to present the counterattack on our group. Skyboat is the diplomat. JWocky is our thermonuke. For me it plays great, since it is better to be feared than loved (some writer suggested).
