Nudity, Is It Sexist In This Forum?

[bennyboy]

I said "non-sexual nudity is allowed" you are correct and I post some examples of non-sexual nudity thinking that you were capable of reading the rules for yourself and understanding exactly what that meant. And you were. So no, I will not take the blame for your rule violation.

Still wrong.  You, a mod, said non-sexual nudity was allowed.  I posted LEGAL, MORAL, NON-SEXUAL material, not knowing that you guys have (for reasons I STILL don't understand) decided to sexualize child nudity.  All you had to do was say. . . "Hey, that's not what I meant, you can't post that!"  And I would have said, "Ooops, my bad, let me delete it."  Still no ban required, still a shitty thing to do.

Let me ask you. . . do you insta-ban everyone who violates any rule?  No, of course not.  YOU felt that the severity of my rule-breaking was so dire that I had to be made an example of, and right quick, too-- no chance even to defend myself.

Again, expecting people to see the world as you do, and punishing them for not doing so, is unfair.  You should expect people to follow the LETTER of your posts, not your secret world-view-intention.

Seriously.  Why didn't you just say, "Hey, how could you think that's appropriate?  Don't post that."  I would have said, "I don't think it's inappropriate, but okay I won't post it anymore."

What was the supposed benefit of formally punishing me in that context? I think you projected your own sexual hang-ups and issues onto me, and made an emotional decision when a more measured response would have been sufficient. Not cool.
