The impression you give is one of someone who's trying to push *your*
morals down *my* throat. If that's not an accurate impression, then
you need to work on giving a different one, because I'm obviously not
the only person who feels this way.

With that in mind, here's a suggested rewrite of your initial post:

WWW::YouTube is a module that allows registered YouTube
developers to access that site's "flagging" API from Perl.

That's truly all that needs to be said about it, at least in this, a
technical forum. Your own ideas about what flags should be applied to
specific content are both off-topic for this group and completely
irrelevant with respect to what your module does, and expressing them
here accomplishes little more than alienating potential users.

Nicely put.

I want to add that in my opinion the same should hold for Eric's entries
at CPAN. I had almost the feeling that I was encouraged to start collect
wood to burn some sinners.
