The D-Ring is a family-friendly blog, according to an online tool from Mingle2.com:
I got that rating for using the word “shoot” once (and I am pretty sure it wasn’t in the context that Mingle2 would find objectionable). Compare my rating to the rating for Blackfive:
Blackfive was given that rating for using the words “dick” (22x), [...]
