Well, I hate the name TMC, but I wasn't too wild about your satire
either, Ed.
I agree that the picture in [[pussy]] is ridiculous and inappropriate,
but I have attempted to add some encyclopedic content to the article.
I am of two minds about censorship and filtering. On the one hand, I
don't care for it (slippery slope, matter of opinion, etc), but on the
other it seems only polite to give people a chance to opt out of
discussions easily identifiable as vulgar. That's why I A) put the
"one-ball" lyrics in while B) agreeing that they should be on a
separate page.
I, for one, have been intrigued and admiring to watch your evolution
over the past year and the intelligence, care and kindness which you
have come to embody in almost all discussions in which you take part.
On several occasions I have simply gone away when the Wikipedia gets
me down, but I always come back because I think the whole thing is
worth doing.
Good luck to you, either way.

|Fine. I'm going to leave anyway, if articles like [[pussy]] with the picture of girls
holding kittens at waist level and saying "Do you want to see my pussy?" and
usernames like Throbbing Monster Cock are permitted.
