No, I don't think things should be banned because some people find them offensive (or, as is more often the case, when they dislike something and wrongly describe that as offense).
That said, anything that is only there to deliberately cause offence is a different matter, that kind of act should be stopped.
'It's now very common to hear people say, "I'm rather offended by that", as if that gives them certain rights. It's no more than a whine. It has no meaning, it has no purpose, it has no reason to be respected as a phrase. "I'm offended by that." Well, so f***ing what?' —Stephen Fry

Why, what are you dying to say that you can't but that you could before?
Care to explain? Do you mean DS or society in general?

Every person alive has the capacity to offend someone. How do you ban offensive people?
Industrial Death camps?
Why are so many people annoyed with Carol Vorderman today?

Me too, people speaking on my behalf, or banning things incase they cause offence really annoys me.
