That Catherine Gratwick?
The whole point of her being in the recent issue was because she's now a running joke. Scrubbing her from past issues seems a really tragic thing to happen, and personally I'd like to see her return to #100 as well.
You know me, I'm all against pointless tradition if changing it has demonstrable benefit, but I think sometimes pointless tradition has a humour value all of its own.

The US should outlaw hobbits. They're bad for the environment.

What if I haven't had enough of steaks, but I also love bananas and one day I go "boy, I wish I had thousands of bananas right now to shove up my asshole"? Like, why is that a bad thing? Why do I have to have had enough of steaks in order to have bananas? Why the assumption? I can love the shit out of steaks, I just want bananas to shove up my asshole at that particular point, that's it.

Sounds like a Christian's argument to me, yep.
Mental illness is a sinful impulse?
For the record, God created sin, by definition. I don't really see how you think you can get around that.
I don't have to take that from someone who can't spell "Conservative".

Any content that is:

We are not going to make particular ideologies illegal to discuss and debate here. (Well, at least outside of a couple of special case topics, IE: pedophilia.) In theory, one can argue any opinion here without breaking the site rules. In reality, and this is a big reason why far-right/nazi players (and their less common far-left counterparts) tend to have a short shelf life around here: some opinions are inherently very, very difficult to argue in a way that doesn't break the site rules. (For instance, there is no way to argue "All <group> should be killed off!" that isn't a flagrant rules violation.) Generally, the more extreme the viewpoint, be it extreme right, extreme left, extreme pro-religion, extreme atheism, and so on, the more difficult it will be to argue it in a way that stays within the bounds of (mostly) civil debate dictated by the rules. Plus, the more extreme the viewpoint, the less likely the person arguing for it is going to be able to back their view up with sources, and absent evidence, they often have a bad habit of resorting to flaming/trolling their detractors.
The boss wants absurd, ugly, and indefensible opinions to be voiced, to be dragged out into the light where they can be criticized, commented on, ripped to ribbons, and generally shown for the indefensible, ugly opinions they are rather than let them fester in the shadows unchallenged. And y'know, y'all do a pretty damn good job of it.

Apparently along with being The People's Princess she was also responsible for the mass slaughter of over 11 million people and a war that devastated Europe. I saw it on The History Channel in a story entitled "DIANA : A WARNING FROM HISTORY"

Exactly. There are just some people I found so toxic, so offensive, so.... blargh that I do not want them in my life. And since I am not allowed to stun them, put them in a box, transport them to Liverpool, put them on a ship to Florida, convey them to Cape Kennedy, put them on board a rocket and shoot them in to space, I choose the next best option which is to add them to my foe list so I no longer have to read the offensive crap they spew forth with every word that they type.
