I'm not suggesting that you should filter content for people who don't want that. But it makes good sense to offer the OPTION to those that do.

What's wrong with making content categories available on an opt-in basis, so that each individual user can decide what type of material they want to read? It's not hard to enable users to customise their experience and opt in to or out of anything from funny to inspirational, pathetic one-eyed celebrity adulation to hysterical arguments and complaints, strong aggression or threats to sexually explicit material, or whatever.

Why should Favstar or anyone else decide for every other prospective user what's acceptable or interesting? A customisable system seems a whole lot better (less likely to cause strife and star wars) than banning people or content that some people don't like. And it maximises Favstar's accessibility / acceptability / attractiveness / exposure to the widest possible audience.
