Abby...as one of those who had made mild protests, I think I should re-state carefully what several of us have said, even though you 'seem' to be addressing only nutty.

You have given an eloquent defense of non-censorship of bawdy/explicit lyrics, and I heartily agree with you. This thread, however has at least three aspects.... expressions of disgust or offense with bawdy material in general, expressions of discomfort at the MOST extreme words appearing AS titles, and those who see no reason to bother with any restraint or censorship when the topic is legitimate research and sharing of lyrics.

It is so easy to get distracted into defending the right to collect & publish that we forget the pragmatic issues of what is appropriate in various circumstances. I simply want to make a plea for keeping the various arguments separate, and not becoming interwoven until we find ourselves losing the point and arguing at cross purposes.

Almost no one seems to believe that John Mehlberg should be prevented from pursuing his research, our only serious debate is about whether he should exercise more discretion in his titles.
