A little off topic, but something I've been meaning to mention for a while. Mouse, I really like your posts. Even when I don't agree with them (which isn't all that common). You always seem to consider both sides of the issue, the way you write is intelligent and not very inflammatory, and...yeah. I like the way you moderate this place :)
On topic...I've posted my thoughts on this issue before, in a way that was perhaps a little more blunt than I should have, so I'll be a little more diplomatic this time. I agree with both Julie and Caryl, to be honest (as contradictory as that sounds). You need a middle ground of social decency, because there are people at one extreme calling for extreme censorship and others going for complete freedom of speech. I think that the people who should make that decision should be the mods (and no one else), on a case by case basis. If the people who police this place don't have a problem with it, then neither should you.
I don't know what else to say that isn't blatantly obvious, so I'll leave it at that :P
EDIT: Also note that I didn't see the post(s) that inspired this thread, I'm always sleeping when all the fun happens. So if I'm missing something contextual, my apologies.
