Which isn't altogether a bad discussion to have. But at the end of the day, it forces people to consider the audience - the community - and think twice about posting over the top stuff.

I think you bring up a good point TJ. In the past people would post all kinds of crazy stuff and the worst that could happen would be neg rep but who cares about that. Now maybe people will watch to some degree what the say or how they say it. I am not advocating censorship so much as some kind of decorum.
