Well, since the Bible is main example I use in the second post I linked, I don't think anyone should be held accountable for those predisposes to whackjobbery (assuming one doesn't have a very low opinion of people in general and think everyone is predisposed to whackjobbery, just that we should be careful if we seem to be producing the next Birth of a Nation. I think I'm come down on the laissez-faire side myself, especially within fandom--I'm much stricter on mainstream texts but even then I tend to think the solution is more (counterbalancing) speech, especially critical discussion, rather than censorship as such.
