Rather than trying to complicate the board by making it for 18 year olds and over, I think that if we all abide by Peter's simplified rules, we can all still express ourselves on this site. Besides that, if everyone knew that the board was for ADULTS ONLY, too many of us (me included) may go overboard in expressing ourselves and not follow the rues.
Peter's simplified rules:
1) If you wouldn't say it out loud so those around you could hear what you say at a resturaunt, ball game or any other public place in any part of the country it is not allowed.
2) If your mother would not like it it is not allowed.
I know some mothers are more premissive than mine would be, but it is still a great measure of what I (we) can say on an open forum. Also, it is not hard for me to visualize myself in the middle of a group of people, of all races, genderss, ages, etc.) and then make posts accordingly so as to not offend anyone. I don't necessarily mean that we have to be totally POLITICALLY CORRECT the way some people would like, but the idea is what should keep within bounds.
