I agree that this community doesn't seem unhealthy; and also that, in general,
sex jokes aren't necessarily a sign of sexism. But I also think it's smart to
establish a wide margin on community practice. Correcting small, potentially
harmful behaviours sets a boundary, and avoids having to deal with larger,
certainly-harmful behaviours later on.
There are plenty of appropriate forums for sex jokes on the Internet, we can
surely live without them here.
My sentiments exactly. Thanks for posting this.
We (I'm presuming "we" :-) ) want D to succeed with professionals, and coming
with that are the same standards of discourse one would expect in a professional
work environment.
And this community has been very professional by default, and I've been
extremely pleased and proud at the high quality of the discussions here.
