	Well even in the case of real time text chat, the problem
	is trivially solved by filtering at the client's side. Now if
	we were talking about a multi-party phone conversation...but
	that's a bit more far fetched or an edge case...

	On the other hand, you could argue that there are 'private'
	communications, but a similar problem would arise. In a small
	group it's quite possible that there would be a majority that
	wants to impose certain 'rules' about what can or cannot be
	said. Which is a problem. Also, the private/public distinction
	is rather ambiguous because from the point of view of the
	members of the 'private' group, the group works as if it were
	public (accessible to all members).
