The "Flag?" button is a means by which readers of Blog*Spot can help inform us about potentially questionable content, so we can prevent others from encountering such material by setting particular blogs as "unlisted." This means the blog won't be promoted on Blogger.com but will still be available on the web — we prefer to keep in mind that one person's vulgarity is another's poetry. Or something like that.I might add that what one person finds objectionable another might find perfectly ordinary, boring in fact. For instance, in response to this post about a census report I linked to I got this comment (which Blog*Spot readers may find objectionable, BTW):
You know, you are one dumbass redneck fundamentalist. Jesus would spit on your stupid ass, you hypocritical piece of shit.What if this guy and his nutty friends decided to flag my blog because they objected to the inclusion of stories on census reports? Would blogger delist me?
Maybe I'm overreacting.
