I welcome the freedoms of the internet even if it means that there is material available that I find disgusting or offensive. Also who get's to be arbiter of what's allowed and what's not? Remember that saying of baby and bathwater? it applies to the freedoms of the internet.

I have a distaste of those that constantly tell other what they can and cannot do. I am old enough and ugly enough to make my own mind up. Your right that the internet is being changed by the offended because they think we are offended. It got nothing to do with them if i am offended or not and they need to wind there necks in and go find a life of there own and stop trying to control mine.
