Voltaire's sense of "decency" and "consideration"
...for others juxtaposed to his and his pals' comments just this afternoon ... apparently, these images Tom finds 'acceptable' for 'family viewing' of his moderated site, while he finds others' comments 'disturbing' ... that's precisely the conundrum that I probed the great Voltaire about regarding, just what IS 'acceptable' to you and SI regarding profanity ... and what is not?
Seems these images ARE acceptable, right, SI Bob? These would be offensive to no one, I suppose, correct?

"Mommy, why does this man want to do something like 's___' in someone's face? What does 'bitch' mean?

"Daddy, what is a 'golden shower?'"
Yep, a sense of being "decent" and "consideration" for others is a bit muddy, by Voltaire's own standards, seems to me.
I'm looking for Tom's famous reference to 'split tails' that relates to his investing theories regarding women, but can't seem to find it off-hand ... that's a classic that I would suspect many daughters -- and sons -- of investors who follow these boards might find rather curious, to say the least.
"Daddy, what's a 'split tail?' And what is Mom 'sitting on' that makes her 'forgive anything but poverty?'
"Mommy, what's a 'velvet hammer?' And what's a "Texas Ten Hammer?" Uncle Voltaire says these things on his message board.
