Luckily I missed the joke, so I will only say this as a general thing. BIG, don't hide behind things like you stated the coyote chasing the roadrunner stuff. Just because everyone else is doing it, would you? If so, try some drugs, that will really open up your mind to brutal things to do. We as a society have embraced the ethic of violence far to long. Wild west mind set has come to the point our children are acting out our fantasies. We must ALL be alert to react to the things that teach our children that violence is okay.

But even if I agree that violence is too prevalent in our society (and actually, I do agree), it is not my function as moderator to attempt to impose *my* morality on the rest of the subscribers. I do try to keep to the generally acceptable standards that our society expects, but the minute I start rejecting posts because *I* don't happen to like what a poster is saying I stop being a moderator and start being a censor. It's a tricky line -- not clear cut at all -- but I feel that Bugs and Wiley Coyote are well enough accepted that for me to restrict posts describing fictional violence to a fictional animal is going too far.
