Do you like to dress your 5-year-old up like a hooker and park her out on street corners in order to catch rich old perverts?
And, if you do, how long do you wait? Until money is exchanged? Till they get a motel room?
Or untill clothing is off?
Do you take pictures?
Do you cut a deal with the oldsters or do you just take the money?
How do you explain this to your daughter anyway?
Do you demo it and act it out as "rehersal"?
Are you getting a hardon?

No it's quite an accurate description of EI's current moderating philosophy.Tamar_Garish said:I hope that's a joke.

ATTENTION: Official-type message thingie!
In general, we try to moderate AQG a bit less strictly than the other forums, since it is, after all, the place to hash out complaints and the like. But it isn't a place where we all have free rein to attack each other personally, and lately several folks on different sides of the debate have been crossing that line. In our desire to keep the moderation loose in here we've sort of given everyone the benefit of the doubt, but the result is that people continue to step over the line, and witness the result. So from now on, anyone who personally attacks another poster will be warned.
It's okay to criticize someone's position, even strongly -- to say "Arguments that the Earth is flat are laughably ignorant of the most basic scientific principles" or "I think most educated people would disagree with the argument that the Earth is flat." It's not okay to extrapolate a deficiency of personal character from that position: "Flat Earth Society members clearly want to drag us screaming back into the Dark Ages" or "I think most educated people would call you a fool for arguing that the Earth is flat."
Please be mindful of that distinction, or you will have to eat a warning.
Keep in mind, too, that this is the forum for As, Qs, and Gs, not for political debates. If you find your discussion drifting back into that territory, please continue it in OT.
