No, I happen to want to ensure that first amendment rights between consenting
adults are protected, and that people (perhaps like you) don't get to select
what I may choose or not choose to watch by *consent*.

If you had said:

I want to help develop a self-rating system so that others who share
my views can filter things within our community.

You would have gotten my support. Instead, you came off as (sorry
if this is not accurate... this is just my impression):

I want to ensure that NOBODY can see the kind of AMAZINGLY AWFUL STUFF
I just found on you-tube (OMG!).

See, if you aren't censoring me, and you can respect that I may want to watch
the stuff that you abhor, I can also respect that you want to watch a
different set of things. After all, I consider some forms of country music
rather obscene, as well as some bagpipe playing. But that doesn't mean I
consider those who listen to it inherently demented, and try to make sure
that *no* website carries bagpipe music.

That's where you are failing in your plea. Speak about it as "I am a member
of group X, and I want to make it easier for OTHER MEMBERS OF GROUP X to
select what we see on YouTube". You'll get hella more support for that.

Don't make me wrong for wanting different things. Work with me on this.
