By your logic, Mark Twain should have never written nigger, and then a classic work of literature wouldn't have been as powerful. Yay censorship. Fight the real problem gillibean.

That's the problem with the ongoing hate speech, free speech, and censorship campaign.

I personally assist organizations fight censorship and I campaign to defend our Freedom of Speech. So - don't think I'm trying to censor anyone or stifle them from expressing themselves.

I want to take hate speech cases on a circumstantial basis. Sometimes it actually issatirical. Sometimes it isn't. In some cases it is just downright inappropriate. I'm not placing any sort of universal standard on anything here - I'm just saying that I'm keeping my eyes out for EVERYONE here at PTF - and I don't want to see anyone being offended and I also don't want to see anyone being denied expression and speech.

We'll play this by ear, and see how it goes. If you're not trying to hurt people - you'll be fine. Sound good?

By the way, Obdurate - I viewed that journal of yours...and I found no nude pictures. I'm entirely displeased with your false advertising! =P
