Shouldn't we be encouraging and facilitating
filtering? That is,
isn't there a model of the Wikipedia that says people can take our
Wikipedia and make their own version? There certainly is a
possibility of filtering everything but popular culture, ending up
with brilliant coverage of the Simpsons and Tolkein, say, or a science
and technology filter, or (wait for it) a gazeteer about all the
little towns in America. In that context, why shouldn't people also
filter out smut, or Christianity, or whatever?
