I've just had cause to change a signature on a forum I frequent as I had a link to this blog with the blog's title as the link. I feel sad that people can be offended by the word intercourse, when they are quite obviously misinformed about its meaning.
As stated in the heading - Intercourse is about communication, which is what I'm endeavouring to do with this blog.
I appreciate that 'foul' language has no place in public society, however when a word such as that starts to cause offence then I believe the pendulum has swung too far.
Yes, I grant that I've chosen the word to encourage people to investigate, but that it is offensive is just absurd. What next? Organ? Masticate? Member? Yes 2 of these words can have other meanings or innuendo, while the other just 'sounds' like another word.
At least here I can write whatever I like.
Sorry if this offends any one - but maybe you need to find something that is worth being offended by.
Cheers & Blessings.

You didn't have that on NZMac did you?
I agree with everything you said.
People are so twitchy these days that if you fart they would have you arrested because you offended their nose.
Keep using real words in their real contexts and damn the ignorants because they don't understand the real world.
Unless it was Phil that told you off. ;-)
Well, the original idea was to not 'name' the site, but yeah - that was it! And no it wasn't Phil who told me off although he did request a change as 'somebody' had complained!
Thanks for the comment though!
People should look words up in the dictionary that they do not fully comprehend before feeling offended. Pansies.
