Obviously they don't. A forum moderator has a duty of care that 
supersedes his or her personal values and sense of humour.

The pervasive sexism in our profession is a serious problem, and 
should be addressed wherever it's found. If keeping sex jokes out 
of an otherwise-professional forum will encourage even one keen 
developer to stay a while longer in D space, then that's a 
tremendously small price to pay for an invaluable return.

Good on you for addressing this, Walter, even if the infraction 
was a small one.
