I know it's not the way for the new guy to make a good first impression, but it's asinine. Why should legitimate music discussion be held hostage to hangups over "Our Precious Moral Values TM"?
You're right that's it's asinine but unfortunately we're stuck with it for now. It's not something the moderators are able to change. And for the record you have to resort to fancy maneuvers to avoid Dick Dale being censored as well.
