> The reason Carrion Fields is what it is isn't because of the roleplaying or the playerkilling or the sexual healing, but because it encompasses a game that allows people to be creative in whatever means they deem fit.
Almost. Roleplaying is mandatory. Of course, "obsessed with sex" is a role.
> I'm not condoning any specific type of behavior, but I'm not going to judge anyone whose enjoying the game within the confines of the rules.
Fair enough. I'm not advocating sitebanning people for the occasional touching of peepees or anything. I'm just suggesting that if that is your -major- motivation for playing CF, you're probably in the wrong environment, in many ways. Ditto for the "kill kill kill" crowd, although they're less creepy.
> You can avoid situations that you're not comfortable in, but if you don't you become a willing participant.
The legal phrase that trips up this line of reasoning is "age of consent". I agree with your line of reasoning, but it does assume that all parties are mature enough to make good decisions about the topic at hand. (Of course, not all adults are mature enough either, but that's a separate issue.)
> I do see where you're coming from, but it is a game so let people enjoy it however they want and run like hell when someone touches your peepee.

I'd delete "agaisnt certain cabals" from the above statement. Lots of scary stuff running around on the Forum.
