Who, in their right minds, would bring up such an issue?
Poca, I agree that in the scheme of things it's small indeed. But I also think she's right that we each should be exemplifying our values in the sphere we inhabit. None of can force society to comport with our values, but we can promulgate them in those places we do control. And I think it's an aspect of the discussion that got overlooked in the rush to go and take a swipe at her.
Honestly, I found the intransigence over such a small issue a bummer.
"Our values"? As far as I'm concerned, I'm fine with how things are, on that subject.
I wouldn't want to ban bare chested pics of men, nor am I comfortable with providing easy access to bare chested pics of ladies to young kids who may come to this site.
For me, that's just the standard. And it seems to be the standard for whoever is paying for the site... so... who are we to go against them?
