And how is that anything to be surprised about, Anth?
You really think it would be a good idea for the new forum to demonstrate, and thus prove, to critics and watchers that there really was "something rotten in the Internet culture" - as described by Richard in his 'Outrage' post - present in the old forum and which was the primary reason for shutting it down? Do me a fucking favour.
And if I'm really that much of a fucking 'prude', then I really don't understand how I came to have four kids.
One can have kids and still disagree with other peoples sexual behaviour. It's when a person starts criticising somebody else's consensual adult sexual behaviours, which they have no business to do, that their behaviour becomes that of a prude. Having children and being prudish are not related as one is a primary biological function and the other is a secondary social attitude.
Oh, get off your high horse before you fall off, CJ. "Criticising somebody else's consensual adult sexual behaviours"? No. As far as I am concerned you can do whatever the fuck you like, and yes, it's no business of mine.
But somebody else's consensual adult sexual behaviour described in graphic detail with the aim of titillation whilst trying to pass it off as 'a personal journey of revelation' is hypocrisy, and that I can criticise until the cows come home.
You tried to tell me that I had hurt your feelings with my criticism, remember, CJ? But to say more would require revealing the contents of PM's, although as they were on the now defunct forum I'm not sure the rules against that still stand.
And if it hadn't been for one of your 'coterie' propositioning me to meet for sex, then I probably wouldn't have been inclined to believe what was being said about the true nature of what was going on.
