Tell me, if someone submitted a detective story, would you post it?  Of
course not.  It would be inappropriate for the newsgroup.  Similarly, if
someone submits a story about torture, it should not be posted to r.a.e.
Just because some people don't know the difference between sex and
violence doesn't make it censorship.
