What standard should Linden Lab use for determining whether something is "broadly offensive"?

I suggest that it should super-majority of say 85 to 90% of people for something to qualify on the "broadly" part of the clause. "Offensive" is harder to quantify, but it's probably safe to assume that if someone enters an area and quickly leaves, never to return, that they were offended.

Since 85-90% of people who sign on to Second Life leave and never return, it is clear evidence that the community (usually defined as the six million plus for PR purposes, at least) finds Second Life "broadly offensive", and thus Linden Lab should close it immediately.

Sorry--I thought it was an original thought. But seriously, I skip about 90% of the threads here. I guess they are "broadly offensive" too, or something.

Anyway, the answer, should you wish it, appears to be, "Whatever any Linden happens to think at any given time".

But the third job, some call it, uh, "the show" or "the big dance," it's the profession that every linden aspires to.
