Fair enough, using the word 'censorship' was too strong (unless the node gets deleted!). Sorry about that.

Everyone has their own individual standards of what language or behaviour is acceptable. What annoys me is when people appoint themselves as 'moral guardians' and try to inflict their standards on others (for example the recent controversy regarding 'Brass Eye' on Channel 4).

If you post something which is likely to offend, the decent thing to do (as chipmunk did) is to precede it with a warning. I don't understand how anyone can complain about the content if they've already been told that it may offend them. I'd complain if I wasn't offended :-)

You have the right to dislike the poem just as I have the right to enjoy it, but applying "taste and decency boundaries" to PM would deny my right while preserving yours.

A better idea would be if you wrote a web proxy to remove swearing (replace it with c***, f***, etc), then we can all make an individual choice.

Regards,

JJ
