On the one hand. I'm seeing justifications saying that the staff must be practical. On the other hand, I'm seeing justifications asserting principle as the motivation. Shifting defense from principle to practicality leads me to think the defense is rather ad-hoc and not thought out.
If the staff must be practical, appealing to free speech is irrelevant. If the staff is acting out of principle, then creating an aritifical divide in how nip pics are treated, on the basis of practical law, seems equally irrelevant.
I'll make this clear right now: I will accept whatever decision the staff arrives at (I have no choice!), so long as the process is thoughtful.
Well, the decision was already made. Perhaps some people voted for practicality and others for principle I don't know. I know only that, for myself, I have no interest in having rules that are not necessary or banning anything that is not either illegal or harmful to the forum. Morals are subjective, I wouldn't want enforce my morals any more than I want to enforce yours. Which is not at all. I don't even agree that banning images of men's chests would do anything to improve the forum or the equality between men and women on this forum.

And that's cool. My point here in this thread is to prod thought. I think Heathen has a fair point, and it should be heard.
But if you enforced my morals ... well, the end of the world would be nigh, there'd be nihilism and wallsex and cats and dogs mating.
Well, probably not. Except the wallsex.

I'm down for wallsex...I think. As long as that's not anything sexual. It's not right?

Oh ffs........
If adhering to those conventions, beyond the control of the owner or staff, which allow this forum to exist as it is, is sexist.....then everything is fucking sexist and there's no point in even having the word. Might as well call it "blue".

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Comes from here. Taken out of context? Yep...absolutely. She goes on to describe how this, or after being taught this, she was insufferable, until she learned to pick her battles. Not sure if that puts it into a better context...but there it is.

7 seconds, man. That certainly doesn't provide much context.

I guess I could link a transcript, but, I described what the transcript contains. Google it yourself. She seems to be saying that she was an asshole at first and then mellowed. Some people think that her comments imply that she;s still an asshole but has learned when to be one...and yet others still....think that no one gives a fuck about which of these two is more accurate. Guess which camp I belong to?
