people are actually pot-stirrers (which is a matter of opinion), I personally think that a stirred pot is better. If you don't stir it, your food is going to taste bad. IMO, the board feels drab and pointless when there is too much moderation.
Maybe the solution is to be able to mark a post as "adult content." I don't mean to allow profane or obscene stuff, that tag could just mean that someone who's feelings are delicate like a child's can know to avoid it so they won't have to face the discomfort of someone sharing a view that is different from theirs or maybe being a little bit mean.
