The First Amendment is really nifty and all, but if you behaved
like this if we were all meeting in person, people would tend to
not want to be around you. Perhaps you and Sam can find another
forum to discuss the art of obscenity and its role in casual
friendly gatherings, be they electronic or physical. I know
it might sound delightfully anal to you, but in an essentially
unmoderated forum such as this, *you* must control *yourself* -
no one else can do it for you, not even Sam. :-)

Unless of course you two do it to each other consensually, and
then it's none of my business, but it would probably be considered
off-topic if you do it here, unless it somehow involved computer
equipment more than ten years old. And don't forget, too much
lubricant is almost enough, especially social lubricants like
politeness and netiquette.
