The thread itself was quite appropriate as it was a genuine 
opportunity for D. However a few people made a couple adult 
related jokes here.
I just personally think that while we shouldn't ban certain 
subjects out right, we just need to be careful of how we approach 
it. I.e. don't joke about it, if it needs to be commented upon do 
so.

At the end of the day we are here to program. Not to tell jokes 
that high schoolers would laugh at.

Perhaps we need to create a community standard guidelines related 
to this? That way if another thread or messages that are over the 
top we just link them to it. After all, lets learn and evolve 
from mistakes. Its what we are good at!
