We're all adults here, we all know how to behave in a decent way. This is a world wide forum, that fact should be painfully obvious by now. The Lounge, or any lounge, is a place to relax and have a little fun. But not at someone else's expense nor is it a place for vulgarity. For crying out loud people it's on the intenet so it's basically permanent for all intents and puproses. Think of how you are representing yourself. A bit of sarcasim and self deprecating humor is healthy. But come on, a lot of this is getting rediculous. I'd mention names but it really wouldn't do any good since the people wouldn't understand. And that's just a sad fact. I have my suspicions about why desktoppublishing.com traffic died down so much.
There are some 3,677 member of the site. Yet the conversations seem to be dominated by 10 people. Much of which is purely fluff. If you read any of it, it happens to have little or nothing to do with prepress or is down right offensive. Some companies have content filters or other electronic measures of monitoring employee usage of the internet. I've been nailed by an employer for foul language on this website simply by reading a thread that contained vulgar language. How fair is that to me? I lost access to this site because of the language that other people were using. And then when I said something about it, I was essentially attacked for it.
Here's my view on all this: Keep it decent and keep it clean in the lounge or anywhere else here or leave the site. For me it's just that sample. After all, would you really behave this way in person?
