Maybe you can put some kind of disclaimer on the page that says: "Comments
that don't relate to the article being commented on will be removed." or
something to that effect.
I know that crudeness is often in the eyes (or ears) of the beholders.
Surrounded by ministers, priests, rabbis, imams, etc., I quite routinely say
something that is considered by SOMEONE as being crude. But some of them
are hyper-religious, so as my father used to say "You've got to consider the
source." I often use words just for comic effect. For example, I think the
word "kinky" is hysterical. It just sounds funny to me, so I sprinkle it
liberally into most of my conversations!! A hyper-religious minister said
to me: "Paul! I'm shocked that you used THAT WORD when it has sexual
connotations!" I looked back at him and gasped: "Why, chaplain, I didn't
realize that, but I'm shocked that you would even KNOW words with sexual
connotations to recognize them!!" Heh-heh.
Stating that irrelevant contributions will be deleted might cut off some of
the senseless chatter (much like a moderated e-mail list) in comments to
articles. But since I'm such a big offender in the area of being off topic
on e-mail lists , I won't comment too much on that! ;)
