Because it's a distasteful, sensationalist subject that any decent curator of a community would try to marginalize?

- jellicle 14y ago"Decent curator" is prejudging your outcome, don't you think? If your goal for a "community" is something shallow, stage-managed, and beautiful, then sure, you'll want to bury this story. Many communities are run like that, to be sure. If your goal for a community is to actually discuss the issues that people want to discuss, or to discuss the issues that are important, then in either of those two cases this should be front page news.
