Doesn't that kind of make you a "whiner"?

Sounds more like a responsible FReeper to me. Those threads way back when, the ones where some FReepers were giving the green light to 18 year olds digitized to look like prepubescent children... I stayed away from the forum entirely for over a year after that. Made my stomach turn. I don't think there is anything "left" about not wanting to associate with that kind of rhetoric.

We all have different tolerances for what we can accept.

I never saw the "kiddie porn" thread, but it wouldn't have driven me away. It's just one thread of thousands. And i'm sure the authors received a thorough tongue-lashing rom other posters, indicating that it was not the opinion of the forum at large.

That's how things should be settled, IMHO.

Those threads way back when,

Ohhhhh they were way back when and don't apply now?
