Because personal attacks make people feel less welcome and less

minors will
have that very same effect.
I don't think anyone working on [[autofellatio]] will be terribly
offended by it being called "smutty", to be perfectly frank. But see
my previous remark.
Not really. How would you like it if someone
went around to _your_
contributions and marked them up in ways you found insulting and
derogatory? That would be a bad thing, and nobody should do it. It
Sure. But that's not what I was proposing. If I was working on a porn
article, and someone labelled it "porn", I'd be hard pressed to argue.
Yes, but [[Breastfeeding]] (a featured article) is going to be tagged as
unsuitable, isnt it. This is not acceptable.
And "smutty" is a rather loaded term. I dont think [[No-pan kissa]] is
smutty for example, and have tried to make it an informative article
with references. I cant see anything in it that children should not see,
but I imagine it would be tagged too.
