I'm sorry, but I gotta open my mouth.
Censoring people for making stereotypically negative comments is like spraying perfume on the streets of New York City: It's not really dealing with the problem. People's attitudes won't change, just like the streets won't suddenly be clean. If the moderators simply want to sanitize finheaven.com because they are afraid of being sued, then fine: Leave it as it is. But realize that censorship will prevent people from examining their own prejudice and from changing their own attitutes and beliefs.
