[stylist] censorship

[Judith Bron]

There is no age barrier for blindness.  People who are very young to very 
old are afflicted with visual impairments.  Unless you want to limit members 
on the list according to age, you might want to think again about allowing 
writing containing offensive language or content on the list.  In other 
words folks, it's a family audience.  Judith

The issue of censorship always flies a red flag. Having been the target of 
some unreasonable censorship, I am uncomfortable being in the position of 
censoring anyone. But at the moment a writer has been sending me 
pornographic, anti a certain political party, and just plain obscene, 
disgusting stuff. That's the kind of thing I don't want to see.

As for the type of writing we've been discussing, it should be okay if the 
writer simply posts at the beginning, "Some violence," or "strong language."

P.S. I like what Robert had to say too. Let's all weigh in on this one.
