Sure I can understand that some people might be briefly discomforted. However, if this thread avoided anything that might be uncomfortable to some posters, it would be a great blank slate or a sequence of mere inanitites. I am, for example, uncomfortable every time George insults people who have done nothing but post honest opinions. I am uncomfortable when Christine lectures us on how wicked we are for using too much energy. And on and on. But they paid to be here, they are not violating the Terms of Service, and I have a Next button. And vice versa. (But you may have noticed that to avoid any future problems, I am now labeling flirtatious posts as such so only people who want to read them, or lack sufficient self control to hit the Next button even though they know the posts will be objectionable to them, read them.)
