I couldn't agree more.

Editing out the blood or changing the colour of it is something that for me has no justification at all and should NEVER be done.

If anything needs to be censored it's the act that resulted in the wound. Just making a stab wound not bleed or bleed in an odd colour isn't making the scene less violent. And with the instinctive knowledge of every Human that bleeding is accompanied by pain, a bloodless violent scene is more likely to have detrimental effects on children in my opinion.

"How much can it hurt if there isn't even blood? Let's try that!" is a far more likely scenario than "Did you see how much that wound bled? Let's try it!"
