[AGL] stop wallowing in salacious gossip or writing it

[Frances Morey]

Mike, 
  You've made my point about why the women on the purloined lists from the past would not feel comfortable about having their names with slutty appellation labels applied by undercover agents be published on your so-called "uncensored" list. There are a plenty of sites that can be glomed on for sexcitement without sullying the sometimes witty or sometimes high-minded discussions that take place here. I agree with Wayne that it is inappropriate. I guess the solution is to use one's fingers to pick the nose and quit reading or contributing to the list altogether. Is being offensive the whole point, or should there be a comity about the shared ideas in this community? 
  Do you appear on any of the surveilance lists? Were you characterized as sexually promiscuious or drug addled? Would you want to see your name bantered about on such a list as this?
