See, even though we're all adults and can say and do what we want, what bothers me is that there'll be a thread that's going along one way and suddenly, BAM! Someone says something obscene and we're off to the races! And no, I don't have to read any more of the thread, but the fact is that I saw something gross I didn't want to.

It's happened to all of you--you're on the computer and a nasty image shows up or you're watching TV and someone says something obscene or scary that you didn't really want to hear. You know how you feel when you turn on TV and the anchor says, "And here are the burned bodies of 3 kittens who were tortured today," and you think, "I didn't want to see that!" but it's too late.

That's what it's like for some of us more conservative folks when a thread changes. Obviously if a thread has a dirty name, we aren't going to be reading it in the first place.
