     I view this as a very bad idea and something that could lead
to commit wars.

     Also, I would like to point out that offense is something that
is taken not given.  Sure, there are people that will debilerately
behave in a manner that is likely to offend somebody, but at the
end of the day, offense is an emotional reaction that is under the
control of the offended.  Having indivduals delete stuff simply
because they are emotionally immature is not acceptable.
