Whoa, you've just make a flood of posts implying that this is a nebulous

And, drawing a boundary around what's agreeably inappropriate for
children or the workplace is a no-brainer. Things get fuzzy when you
start talking about Britney Spears' latest outfit, but any boundary you
draw will be around the hardcore stuff.
