I don't want to drag this thread out, but it does make me think about what is
appropriate and what is not.

I might have been less inclined to ignore it if someone had said "Euphoria gives
me a h***-on". Double standard I guess. But C Bouzy is right that there are
minors on this board and you have to tone your language appropriately.

There are other ways of expressing excitement than using that metaphor.

I could go on more about free speech and what that means and when certain types
of free speech are inappropriate (or at least that they are inappropriate in
certain venues) but I won't.

Anyway, sorry to drag this out, hopefully the thread dies...
