Is anything you ever wrote short? I have yet to see the day where you
produce output thats less than a dozen paragraphs. And thats straight to
the point instead of retelling the whole story of earth and humankind to
set a base that in the end doesn't appear to be neccessary. I skip most
of your stuff usually because its just way too long.

And that stuff is good, and while it all was lengthy, it actually was a
nice read.

Short paragraphs alone don't make it better if you end up with a million
of them. Turns out to be the same long text in the end.

And Planet is not a forum where everything must be news to DDs/DMs and
gosh, beware, if we don't learn something new technical every day on
Planet, day is bad. Not at all.

But of course ranting is fine.

And thats lets me wonder if you understood what you got told about the
one post from you that got this all started. No, talking about sex is
NOT forbidden. Thats not what you got told. Its also not "must be safe
for 12 year olds". 

The fine point is to do it in a way that will not get fellow Debianites
into trouble (and to not have sex talk as your only content...). A
picture like was in your post is able to get people into trouble, some
employers do have pretty strict rules. Describing an act (in a halfway
human way, not like writing a porn movie seller) won't (as much) make
trouble.

(And then add on top that we are a pretty huge community with a whole
load of different views on life and all its matters. Keep in mind that
Planet may be read by all of us, so try to not be demeaning in your
writings).
