[stylist] Critiques and Writing Prompts

[loristay]

I do think we need to discriminate between crude language and offensive obscenity.  What does the court say?  Of no redeeming value?
But I'm willing to compromise:  Let's just put a warning:  Strong language/violence at the beginning of such entries.

Hello Lori,

I don't think a link will work; would everyone need a webpage?

I don't think you and Robert are on the same page with respect to what is 
allowed on this list. Robert indicated that vulgar language is allowed with 
the appropriate warning. Can we clarify this?

I don't understand what's wrong with some crude language if a character 
would talk that way. Are children and adolescents subscribed to the list? Is 
that the problem?

Neil
