yes it is

Why not both at the same time? 

both to the trashcan

I voted Disco, but If I Was Made for Lovin' Hair Metal, then Kiss would get my vote every time, although Gene Simmons looked far more scary without make-up as the villainous Luther in the movie Runaway with Tom Selleck, which wasn't exactly a runaway success at the  box office, but it's still my favourite sci-fi movie.

Now you're being really insensitive. PB&J? Some people have peanut allergies as you allude to. ;) You find out through communication -- discussion. If you lacked sufficient reason to think that someone at all likely could be harmed or bothered by that sandwich, then I wouldn't blame you. I have kids in school, and know people who have peanut allergies, so I am always careful in that regard. If having people over to dinner, I ask about their diets first (if I don't know already). Sometimes people are offended or bothered by what one thinks really innocuous (would not have occurred to one, say, that something might be a trigger, it cant always be anticipated no matter how thoughtful one tries to be).

Debate and argument is kind of what we do in discussion forums.

I know vomit wasn't the topic, which makes it even less constructive. I;m not blaming you, I'm just letting you know that such images bother me and why, and I would rather such things not be posted. I've posted images that others have asked me to remove as it bothered them (I found them funny and reasonably inoffensive, if definitely edgy).* Perhaps I am the only here who is at all bothered by it, which is partially due to my medical condition.

I know hyperbole is common (including extreme images and comments), and can be humorous or entertaining. And yes, it's not nearly as bad for me as the scat ones, which is why I didn't hide your post. I find it off-putting and rather distracting, but then people have found my posts off-putting.

* Someone once wrote, "I can't get into Tool" to which I responded "You do not get into Tool, Tool gets into you" and posted two on their own innocuous but suggestive images when taken together. I got a complaint and removed it forthwith I'm not even asking you to do that or treat me and others like sensitive snowflakes (to use that right wing terminology). That person wasn't angry, and I listened. It's not that big a deal to me, more of an interesting issue. I have taken this topic far too off-topic. Back to discussing the music and sharing our thoughts on the music.
