Sam, what you say makes sense and I don't disagree one bit with it. Maybe I failed to express myself correctly (no, I'm not in the USA :-)... My concern is not about me being allowed to hang any picture anywhere, but with the principle that dictates me what kind of pictures I should make --if I'm to be accepted at all. I'm posting my pictures very rarely, not because I'm afraid they may not comply with the public sensitivity on "morals", but because I hope that my next one would be better... :-) Art cannot be imposed upon the others, it needs to be accepted by them. But, I'll fight to my last breath on this earth to defend my right (constitutional or not) to choose for myself what is good for me to see and what is not. Freedom of expression should be totally unrestrained, otherwise is not freedom at all. The reason that pushed me to post my imperfect and unfinished picture on the forum was not in order to show contempt for my hosts rules/laws but to shout out loud and clear that such rules are not compatible with the reason of existence, the essence itself, of an artistic community. Either this is a home for artists or it isnt. If it isnt then let the hosts say so and Ill respect every rule they set for me, if I choose to stay. In fact the only kind of censure that could be accepted (if we cant live without it) is the one concerning quality. Dont let me hang my painting on the walls of your gallery if you think its not up to the artistic standards you have set and Ill accept it, and Ill work hard to improve myself so my work would stand a better chance in some other occasion. But you have no right none at all to tell me how to paint. "Lets keep it clean" is an insult to my fellow artists and to myself. Laws are made by people Ill never tire repeating this- and as such simply cannot be infallible.
