Personally, I find clowns very creepy......but not insulting.
As far as what should be deleted -I think anyone can take anything as an insult....however, I think, and this is only my opinion, that only truely vulgar words should be deleted.
I think that feeling insulted is a risk you take when you post your thoughts on an open and public forum.

Problem is: what is really vulgar? Words some people never use because they find it horrible, can be - translated in other languages - be not too offensive, vulgar or rude. For an example: a word for a certain female body part is quite often used here, it is rude but no one feels offended but I´ve learned from American friends that same word in English is VERY offensive and vulgar.

yes, "alienated" should be one of those words. Catwoman considers that word a "disgusting insult", or she thinks so only when It`s me who says that.
OK - but I´ll let you off for using it this time!

You have a point Trudy. I would consider the word you mention extremely crude and offensive and would have no hesitation in deleting a post including it. But words like (better use stars here!) s*** and b*gg** are used quite freely in the UK and not generally considered terribly offensive (although I wouldn´t use them to my mother!) However, I am sure there are some people who would consider these words very offensive - so where do you draw the line?

Maybe strange, but for some unknown reason I find the combination of ´my back´ and ´innocent´ above a little unbelieveable......
