Why not? You would reign in references to racist or sexist terms, would you
not? On what basis then do you include other offensive statements published
on list?

Now, the Monty Python reference doesn't bother me, even though I am a
practicing Orthodox Christian who was raised traditional Roman Catholic;
even "Every sperm is sacred" doesn't bother me. But what does bother me is
self-imposed value judges proclaiming onlist.

Either we let everything go, or we apply the same discretion to everyone.
If Catholic sensitivities are to be neglected, then god damn it, let
everyone's sensitivities be neglected.

That statement is just stupid; and stupidity, I guess, the one "value" I
will wholeheartedly mock.

To avoid the furor over this, I think we ought to drop the whole subject.
