By your standards then, we will show all images, no matter how 
offensive, with possibly goatse and little else being "censored".

Note that the Nick Berg decapitation image now only has 81% support for 
not putting it inline, so by not having it inline we are, by your 
argument, catering to the non-neutral majority POV that images of 
decapitated heads should not be displayed.
