I thought "that sort of thing" was okay here on lysator. I know it *used* to be okay, but I have been gone from actively participating in the list for a few years. Is it now a rule of the list that slash and adult topics aren't allowed here? Just checking!
I don't know if there's a general "rule" (I'll let Calle address that one), but IMO slash and adult topics are better kept on the Other List. It seems to me, though, that a major part of the problem here is that it would never have occured to me that someone would have regarded a post about "Suffering Beautifully" as *being* an adult topic. Annoyingly character junkie-istic, yes. Morally offensive, no. "Beautiful Suffering" does not equal "sadomasochism"!
