How can you tell what is obscene though? A couple of years ago I had
someone start ranting at me for being obscene because I had said that
someone was pissed off. It had never even occurred to me that anyone
might consider that to be obscene. It seems to me that it is better to
let others deal with their own hang-ups rather than try to police
their reading materials for them.
