above in context. The usage of taboo language is permitted in the
recordings about fictional characters, but I'll have to mark the
recordings as for "adults only."
Describe real people using the adjectives in the list linked
above. (Please, only describe interesting and "different"
characters straight from history. Be respectful as I will have
to edit bits out of your sound files if it's going to get both
of us on someone's death list or me in court. I.e. absolutely
no taboo language is allowed in this section. In any case, it's
understood that everything here is somebody's opinion,
not actual fact.)
