Yes, indeed. If I may go off topic, I had the privilege of traveling to 42 countries on 5 continents on Uncle Sam's dime via the Navy. After seeing what the vast majority of the world has to live through, I must say that Voltaire had it right when he said: "I may disagree with what you say, but I'll die defending your right to say it." (or words to that effect, anyhow).
Obviously, the post mentioned is not one that, given a perfect world, we'd choose to defend in this manner - it was pretty vulgar - but, that's not for any one individual to decide, eh? I'd MUCH rather have the problem of nasty content than deal with a lack thereof....
