Slippery slope over moderating a community to appease a couple "offended" parties.

I don't think it is about offending people. It is about maintaining a consistent user experience across the board. From time to time, some threads are given more leeway, the funny pic/video thread for example, but in general, no threads should contain images that might be considered NSFW. Obviously it isn't perfect and can never be 100% consistent.
The fact so many people are up in arms ITT and in the PGT is mind boggling (not necessarily saying you are one of these people). Discuss it, debate it, compare the merits of it, but holy cow man, how does anyone start to get all uppity and insult the mod team because they ***gasp*** put an image behind spoiler tags! Oh the huge manatee.
