   OK, I assume that this [is|was] 'that sex webpage' that people refer to.   
   I assumed, from the above description that it was some sort of prank   
   page that people link to in order to offend somebody else, sort of like   
   the infamous slashdot goatse guy. By the description it seems to be   
   relatively harmless, and more or less just plain stupid.   
      
   I'm relatively lucky here, as I don't have the history. But I do form   
   impressions of people eventually, and I've not seen anything *currently*   
   that is particularly heinous, just a lot of snide remarks from all   
   sides.   
      
   On the plus side, each of you seem to be interesting people in your own   
   rights, just that none of you play well with [others|particulars]... :)
