katlaughing: you dont seem to be agrreing with Ferrara at all. She is advocating some censorship of profanity from Mehlberg's posts, you are pointing out there is an existing filter system you can use if you want, so the censorship isnt needed. You seem pretty much opposed to Ferrara as far as I can see.
    Personally, I think no censorship should be imposed, but that John M might consider a little self-imposed toning down in his thread titles, if that's what it takes to please some shockable people. But he should definitely continue is work, and continue using Mudcat as one of his avenues of exploration.
