Acid Tongued

After random;y visiting "Suggestion Box"  [ASR], I got to thinking about ratings. When writing a taboo or controversial piece, rating appropriately can be the most important thing for the piece. I have found that the right rating must take into consideration language, context and trying to find the right audience. At the same time, though, you want to get your work read and your message out in the open. How do you handle this challenge? Does it affect the way you read taboo pieces?
