We have a [[goatse.cx]] article, and I don't like it. But anyone who's foolish enough to click on the link for it will be able to read it. And anyone who's foolhardy enough to click on the external image link will see it.
And do us a favor -- or at least Karen, who requested it -- and change the f------- a------ subject line in your replies. Please.

So ?
You might - perhaps - avoid saying people who have different sensibilities than yours, are fools.

You don't have to be a fool to be foolhardy "delighting in needless risks". Have you followed that link? Do you ever want to see it again?

Have you followed that link?
I saw the picture once on the current events (I think), but didnot realize it was *that* image you were all talking about. And, then, I followed the link some weeks later (I'm *curious*). And discover it again.
Do you ever want to see it again?
Maybe a third time is not really necessary :-(
But then, what do you propose to avoid the link to be inserted without anybody noticing ? A special query for "well-known" offensive web links ? That could be added in the special maintenance pages for people to check from time to time ?

Meaning "anyone who's foolish enough to click on the link for it when they know that they're the type to be offended or disturbed by an image such as the one described on the page", of course.

Making assumptions? I thought that the picture was rather interesting when I first saw it. Now I'm too familiar with it to care; ho hum, says I, it's goatse.cx again.
