Would I discuss those beaches with my children in the room...Yes I have and would..I was talking about nudity and NOT sex. But I do not argue with the reasoning or the rights for the thread to be closed...Im just sad that it is the EXAMPLE being used to illustrate badness.

[img]smile.gif[/img] I wasn't using it as an example of badness but an example of a thread that some people (including me, until I had a think about it) thought shouldn't be closed down. As for chasing down children to hold conversations, you don't really have control of that on an internet forum. Kids will read what they want to read whether you intend it for them or not

and while you might be happy for your kids to be involved in mature conversations another parent might not. And that is what it all comes down to - respect for other people views and opinions. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Thanks again to the Moderators and Ziroc for doing such a great job!
