    Apart from the usual stuff (pedophilia and such), I was just wondering what board members would consider too taboo to post about or chat about openly.

    Depends who you are talking to. Obviously there are things I would chat about to my friends that I wouldn't bring with my parents.

    There's nothing really I wouldn't talk about.... It depends the tone people use when talking about it and the context. I'm fairly easy going though.

    Very little. Some personal stuff, but that's not shame or embarrassment, just some things should be kept private (like, i would discuss it with my friends, but not on boards). Other than that, nada.

    I've had loud conversations about colonic irrigation in the past - people look at you like you've two heads. It was so funny when someone mentioned they know someone who does home visits. Can you imagine knocking on the door and saying "Hi, did you want to strip naked while I jam this hose up your jacksie? This isn't number 9 then?".

    If you want a conversation that no1 wants to hear start talking about bereavement.

    In one of his (great) essays, Douglas Coupland (who wrote Generation X, Shampoo Planet, Girlfriend in a Coma, All Families are Psychotic, Miss Wyoming, etc.) said that the old taboo was sex and the new one was loneliness.

    Everybody is lonely and they're just not talking about it, he reckons.
