As I mentioned in my post below, almost anything is offensive to 
someone, somewhere.
You won't find a unified view of "Inappropriate" even among a 
very homogenous group of people, let alone an ad hoc group of 
collaborators and users spanning the entire globe, an age range 
of 60+ years and a wide variety of religious/cultural/political 
views and environments.
