I find it inconsistent to censor things to protect sensitive people who think about AI but not people who are sensitive to all the other things that are discussed here.

To the extent there is censorship of dangerous information on LW, the danger is to the future of mankind rather then to the (very real and I don't mean to minimize this) feelings of readers.

Have you asked the people who are able to censor information on LW, or do you just assume this to be the case?

Do the people in charge of LW censor information that are neither dangerous nor spam?

I infer it's the case from being a regular reader of LW. I don't know if LW censors other types of information in part because spam is not a well defined category.
