Net.jokes is for telling any joke *anyone* cares to tell.
In the same vein, anyone who is offended has the right to complain.
It is as Abe Lincoln said (sort of) you can't make everyone happy.

However, 
	Anyone who EVEN suggests that something ought to be censored is
	displaying close-mindedness to say the least - turn it off if you
	don't like it.

	In addition, a person in the position to "moderate, i.e censor" the
	discussions of others because they don't like what is being said run the
	risk of becoming dictators.

	Dictators ulitmately fail - undergrounds form to bring them down.
