335. Re: passing criteria/censoring. I think that's exactly the core issue here.
There is just no equitable way for any of us as individual DUers to declare what is permitted speech and what is not. We can enunciate our standards, and appeal to others to adhere to those standards. But let's face it, on a site with more than 60,000 users, there is no way we are ever going to find complete agreement.

So our only real recourse is to develop a thick skin, and come to terms with the fact that sometimes people will say things that annoy us. It can be a difficult lesson, I know from experience. But that's life, I guess.
