Where does one draw the line? The internet is used for that, so should we shut down the internet? Is the content of the internet the responsibility of its creators, or operators?
I completely sympathize with this position for a one-person service, but I think the real problem is that we still haven't figured out how to fix incentives so we can distribute the work of keeping the jerks in line. On the internet, the jerks are winning.
