Do we need a disclaimer for the Chit Chat section? Example:
>Note: The General Chit Chat section is not for the faint of heart. Members tend to speak their mind here (no matter how demented).
> Members who may burn your temper here are usually decent folk and freindly advisors on other forums on this site.
> If you are emotionally sensitive, are an extreme political right or left leaner, or have strong religious beliefs, this is probably not the place for you.
> Please notice the name of this forum includes the words "non-photography talk". So if you don't like something you read here, don't complain that it doesn't have anything to do with photography.
> However, if you enjoy a good below the belt debate, have a little teflon in your skin and understand that this is a boiling pot of free speech - then come on in.
> Most of all, nobody should be so offended that they turn in their UHH membership card just because of a shalow opinion place here that may have offended you. Buck up and laugh it off already.

Oi!

I prefer to shock the hell out of them unexpectedly. This way they learn the hard way which is always the best way. Stop coddling people. That what's wrong with the country today. No pain, no gain. Who cares if someone is 'offended'. Welcome to the real world. I do though like your idea of warning those with 'strong religious beliefs' to stay away. That would be refreshing. So after thinking this over, you have my support. I think it is a good idea. Well stated. Go for it!

The problem with putting up a disclaimer like this is that its very existence implies that we give a rat's ass whether someone else is offended. I don't believe that to be the case.
