I noticed in the journal one could not post vulagarity. Does that include water sports.

"Last night was great first we CENSORED....

"

(Sorry, the idea of something "vulgar" kinda made me giggle.)

Huh? i think it's an option one may choose as an "interest or skill" on one's profile, and Lord knows we have had posts which make watersports look like a day in park. i cannot imagine what you mean..what "journal" are you referring to?

I think 'vulgarity' is just what each individual moderator says it is. That may change from thread to thread or even from day to day. I would also guess that it has a lot to do with the WAY you say something vs. what you are saying.

Without running to the dictionary...
I was taught that swearing would include words like "damn". Or other expressions in which one might take "the Lord's name in vain.
If I use the words "fuck" or pissed off", I am being vulgar.
I have received any number of vulgar emails. I don't believe I have ever received an email containing what I would consider swear words.
That said, society has loosened up quite a bit. So things that would have been considered *absolutely-no-question-about-it* vulgar years ago, are more acceptable now. I guess a mod will have let you know if you put something "vulgar" in your journal. I wouldn't know where the line is to be drawn these days.

Well, you could read about any one of my posts to get a flavor for vulgar.....LOL. Believe me, the mods won't let you put those kinda things in your journal. Vulgar in the latin meant common or rude. Scat play is not vulgar, eating shit is............

like that.
