If people would stop kneejerking, and read the thread in it's entirety, they would notice that the right to speak back wasn't challenged. It was the OP's seeming demand to have it removed that was challenged, as well as her(?) claim that there were copyright violations.

What renders this "un-art"? Your reaction to it? It's (apparent or interpreted) sentiments?

I hold to Scott McCloud's definition of art - anything pursued that is not directly intrinsic to survival or reproduction.

Look, I could say that taking snapshots of flowers isn't "art". Plenty of people have told me that I do not do anything resembling art because I use Poser (as well as other programs). It does not make it true. If you do it as self-expression, then it is art, and worthy of defense as self-expression, as is ANYTHING done on here. If you thought it should be done with more class, well, I do too - but it is still a matter of personal expression, and abides by the R'osity TOS.

I reserve the right to post things that might offend someone, as do you. Welcome to the US.

(And by the way - did you expect everyone in the Politics gallery to AGREE with you?)
