EDIT: for anyone interested, here are the rules

I think this is the "rule" in question:
"post or otherwise make available any Content that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, invasive of another's privacy, hateful, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable;"

The questions still begs: Where are the standards coming from? What I find objectionable you may not. What is unlawful in the US may not be in Belgium, etc...

My position stands: Sensorship is a slippery slope. Of course there are things that on their face violate the terms of service, but we are not talking of them.

Here is the best sensorship I know of: You read what you like and ignore the other stuff, I'll read what I like and ignore the other stuff. Makes things really easy.

Simply using a word like "objectionable" leaves things to interpretation.
