More musings! with a conciliatory feel I hope? "The problem is that Gilo25 is not a renacense artist, is very much difficult to ban classic art!" On the contrary! it is very easy to proscribe art from any period in history. The phenomenon of censorship is as old as the act of creation itself. I must have been all of six years old when I first saw the painting removed from above. My junior school library had a very comprehensive art section, well thumbed by myself. Being too young to have any sex drive that could be corrupted I did not turn into a Lesbian because of the experience. One of the main stumbling blocks with the TOS is one of culture. Here in the UK we are used to controversy over questions of art but not very conversant with the fuzzy moral thinking of those that want to censor and silence anything that ruffles their own personal psyche. I have had a few run-in's with Renderosity in the past over some of my postings ( no Spike!, not the *Troll* stuff ) and have taken the line of least resistance simply because there is no solution that gets over the present status-quo. I suspect that whoever complained about the Photograph in question is the same sort of person that has difficulty with seeing breastfeeding in public. They are inhibited and unsettled by the most basic and natural manifestations of human sexuality and do not wish to be reminded of their own sense of shame. What many of us outside of the US must try to understand is that places like Renderosity are under scrutiny ( if not siege ) from all sorts of self appointed *Moral* watch dogs that would love the chance to tear the site from limb to limb on any pretext. One pernicious lawsuit from any number of *Moral Crusading* troublemakers would most probably bring the site to it's knees, I would rather that did not happen ( for very selfish reasons!). Though the standard message from Michelle is guaranteed to raise the hackles, I now understand that she is only the messenger and although I find Spikes IM's spiky in tone, I now accept that it is his way and try not to take it personally. Personally!, I would prefer the constant referral of deleted images to Renderotica to cease. It has a unpleasant taste of the qualitative and judgmental about it. I have had many spats with Members, Trolls, Mods and Admins in the past over all sorts of issues. I wish I could have the wasted time back now and reinvest it in something productive. That is a strictly personal view and not directed against anyone here. ********** I have taken the risk of appending a link to an image from the early days of my gallery, ( a badly disguised effort to get some viewing's and ratings ), question is! does this break the TOS in terms of not being *Family Friendly*?, is it perhaps, more suited to Renderotica?.... It could just be a work of art expressing an interior state of mind, albeit with a sexual undertow!. I have many notions of what would constitute a liberal Credo for the TOS. What is clear about the present situation is that we should try to find ways to confound the common enemy of the members and the team at this site. ********** gilo25! Please do not go, rather stay and fight the good fight by mustering your creative arsenal against the slimy foe that lurks around the galleries looking for things to be offended by. They are not as bright as they think! Miles of smiles for everyone!
