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.

Hello Sherm,

Like everyone else so far, I'm giving you the courtesy of a good response.

The last line of what you've replied to here, explicitly stated that "I have
no means to impose my worldview upon others."

I had no intentions, other than to provide a more efficient means protect
children, teenagers and the general public from inappropriate content. I
simply wrote a program to protect children from visual attacks, announced
WWW::YouTube and then asked for some help from like-minded people around
the world, and then I had to respond appropriately to the spontaneous
debate that occurred.

These negative first impressions, expressed by a small handful of people,
are not The Truth, and they don't really concern me and my endeavor as much
as they've just been very negative reactions to their discovery of my
Christian faith.

My Christian faith goes with me everywhere that I go. I won't ever be
ashamed of The Truth, and The Truth will never let me down in a debate.

I flag videos to keep them out of the public domain, but registered adults
still have their full right to choose to view the content that has been
flagged as inappropriate for ALL viewers.

A handful of people have reacted with their personal impressions and
expressed their own personal opinions, here in this technical forum, and I
have tried my best to respond to them appropriately, by expressing my
opinion right back to them. I think that the average person out there who
has been watching this healthy debate, including Dads and Moms, Christians,
Muslims, and other people of faith in the world, can see The Truth exposed
better than this handful that showed up to nitpick, and the couple who got
militant and combative with me for being a Christian.

I'm just a Dad looking out for his kids, and sharing his program with the
other Dads or Moms out there whom might be interested in participating in
this endeavor, if not something else very much like it where they live.

Yes, Ripley's Believe It or Not, some other Dads and Moms out there across
the globe write Perl programs, too. And Shish! Some of them, like me, are
Christians. Scary thought?
