> I'm not sure whether what I wrote was particularly clear there, but there was something else I wanted to say: whatever you write, *someone* is going to be unhappy/angry about it. I won't say that this doesn't matter, but if they're going to be angry anyway, they might as well be angry at something that provokes thought and interest.

No, you're making perfect sense. I think it can be summed up best with this, which I read in a book called "The Day They Banned The Book" in which an American high school considers quite seriously banning Huckleberry Finn. About halfway through, somebody says this:

"You show me a book that offends nobody, and I will show you a book that nobody in their entire life has ever voluntarily read."
