This has been a fascinating study on the sliding scale of tolerance. What I've come up with is that voat has done everything properly. It's not for those in power (puttitout) to censor because "obscene" is subjective, and censoring ideas is a bad precedent. I've blocked zyklon and his crew and problem solved. Now those under my Protection (my family) is not exposed to that shot through me. Censorship is a personal preference, just like everything.

Yes. Definitely. History has shown the ethical and moral baseline of the west is conducive to advanced civilization, which we have never achieved previously. That baseline is set by the morality and ethics Christianity has standardized.
