Me too.

What is offensive differs from person to person. Some people are offended by accounts of underage drinking posted on GC, some aren't. Some people are offended by ANY accounts of drinking posted on GC. Some people are offended by GCers admitting they use or used drugs, have or had political opinions, have or had sex (etc.!), swearing, bad grammar, personal attacks, whatever. Some of this stuff offends me. Some of it doesn't. And I'm not going to tailor my posts to omit anything that might be offensive to someone out there somewhere.

And even if I did, it wouldn't necessarily be all that effective. Some of the people on GC who I think are not the best representatives of their organizations never have any of the above in any of their posts -- and sometimes its their insistence that everyone appear perfect all the time that reflects even worse on their organizations. I know a handful of GCers who have received PMs from people not even in their organizations saying they're a disgrace to XYZ. Personally, I think that things like that can reflect on your organization in a much worse way than, say, admitting that you've experimented with drugs.
