The goat joke became contentious because Keiran did just that - he responded with an attack - and in the process set himself up to become the fall guy for the whole topic - a position that, in the end, he was unable to extracate himself from.

I actually learnt a lot from that topic - not so much about sex and animals but on how forum participants self regulate topics. They create sometimes amusing, sometimes offensive banter but in the end it all evens itself out.

It's what makes Chockstome such a great web site.
