Since no one has explicitly come out and said exactly what the issue is here, I'll ask:
*What exactly is harmful about an opt-in filter? *If it's opt-in, then you have the choice to not even enable it if you so choose. You don't have to use it; it'd just be an option in the preferences page or maybe even a link on the margin similar to the WikiBooks link I never use. Can another option or link you never click really hurt the world, or even an individual for that matter?
Also, *an idea for how this could be implemented*:
The big one is that just isn't one and all the people on the board and the executives are trying their hardest at trying their best at proposing to the community that they are acting in good faith, while being *viciously* in Bad Faith wrt to the community. Back off and lick your wounds would be a nice option. There are worse ones.
