It's a numbers game 8... they're trying to gauge exactly how many people are represented by each complaint (ie, multiple people may be turned off by something, but only one will actually speak up), vs how many people they'll piss off by pulling something.
We're all adults and we all realize that a company is going to sell more of whatever product they sell by appealing to as broad a base as possible. If their forum gets a negative reputation, their sales may suffer. This has zero to do with "not offending anyone" because they're trying not to hurt anyone's feelings. If you want to have an argument over our society becoming overly sensitive and PC, you have to base the discussion around an actual public arena where free speech actually matters.
If cbid were purveyors of fine conical white hoods and robes, I'm sure what would be considered "acceptable topics" would be much different. It's all about the money.
