I think depends on the context. If you are discussing a story on the archive that involves a minor, then I wouldn't toss someone for that. Or if you are talking about eunuchs historically - the skopsky or Chinese who cut boys.

If the discussion is "My next door neighbor is 11 and really hot -- I think I should cut his dick off" then that is a bit beyond the pale.

Am I making any sense at all?

The conversation today was: "My little brother is 11 and wants to be a girl. What would be the best way to cut him?"

I considered that worthy of a toss. But discussions of stories where cutting minors occurs, or historical minor castrations, or even "Man, I wish I had been cut when I was a kid" aren't toss-worthy.

Talking about cutting a kid in real life, today, though.... I just wish I could do more than kick....

IEunuch.

(Still REALLY steamed....)

I think that there has always been the need for some kind of moderation on the EA chat room. There never has been before, and personally, that's why I seldom if ever used it. What goes on in private chats is just that: private. What goes on on the main board, however, is another story. I agree with the 3 items set forth here by IEunuch. There's no excuse for being rude, nor any excuse for trying to stir up a serious argument as in cutting your little brother or neighbors' boy. I think that if a little COMMON SENSE is applied, there shouldn't be much of a problem.
