I understand what you're saying Kendra. I try to deliberately avoid calling anyone a puritan or a prude though the term does show up here on rare occasions, just like someone used the term pro-nudity fanatic or some such in another post today. Society has become polarized these days with people defining themselves as pro this or that and those who disagree anti. Funny how everyone always manages to define their own view as pro - no one wants to be anti anything. At any rate, folks tend to get touchy either way and the fine art of compromise seems to be lost. As you say, the filters should provide as happy a medium as we are going to get but things still get approved, posted and then deleted for example, because someone complains. Just as you don't hear anyone saying they are offended, obviously, some are, which is fine. I don't hear anyone clamoring for more nudity either, just a desire for everyone to use the filters as they choose and not keep trying to chip away at the edges. I think Dave-So is just expressing a general frustration at what many feel is a relentless effort on the part of some groups who feel they posess the perfect truth to impose that truth on everyone else. maybe it doesn't apply here but sometimes ya gotta rant and this has always been a place where that is pretty much understood and more or less accepted. Apologies to him if I'm misinterpreting but I don't think anyone's being attacked. Strangely enough, I think most of us agree on general principles. If you feel your particular view is being overlooked, you can certainly add it to the mix. Taking anything to seriously in nude vs. "prude" or Mac vs PC or any of these other quasi-religious debates is a waste of time. Still it would be rather boring if they didn't crop up regularly.
