At least the writers back in the day had class. The only thing about that is, the bad language of that day and time was a little on the modest side compared to today's filth. But that said, a little bit of naughty mixed into a well written script seems to me brings a more natural feel and flow even if its a science fiction.

I enjoyed reading this. I wish we had Kay’s all over the Internet who just hate – hate smut, so we can finally get rid of these smut sites once and for all. I enjoyed reading this.

I was there with walking down the long halls and going up the rickety elevator; standing in front of the rolltop desk...listening to Kay's cluck of disapproval as she caught another editor trying to slip some naughty word past her lol. Beautiful imagery! Remarkably well written article…best I’ve read all week!
