Beer in the evening if full of old farts like me so I generally approve. I like the discussions where views are clearly polarised.

In the early 80s, as a student I worked in a psychiatric hospital, as a nursing assistant looking after geriatric men. They were only mild cases but in those days if family would not look after them they were sent to a mental home. We had some ...

I know of at least a couple of people who have problems with SE23.com due to what appears to be over zealous control with perhaps a sense of humour failure by the webmaster. As such perhaps it could not be deemed to be a community website.
