"If this is the case here, then please tell me why some are banned and "warned" for what they say here.

After all if someone else does not like it, they can choose not to read it. Right?"

This is not a site run by Jenai21...it's a site run by Renderosity and because of that my John Mills' approach to freedom of speech doesn't apply. But as long as an image and/or comments abides by Rendo rules then it shouldn't be banned or warned and as LillianH has already said Rendo has been no problem with the image in question and so those here who don't want to see it have the right not to look at it. A lot of people don't like nudes...so they have the option of not looking at them or commenting on them...and if you do comment with your opinion as long as it's expressed in an intelligent non-troll like manner I can't see Rendo warning or banning the person.

I think rendo values different opinions as long as they don't become personal attacks, which often the people who are banned or warned launch into. (I'm not speaking for Rendo but from what I've observed) There have been many forum messages that have started as actual intellectual debate on controversial topics and has been turn into, "you suck, your mama sucks, I hate you" which is childish and sad because the thread gets locked before someone can steer the thread back to it's original topic. I personally prefer to ignore stuff like that and continue the original discussion because "it's free speech and if I don't like it then I don't look at it." But that's not how Rendo handles it. As long as people choose to act like 3 year olds I think Rendo will treat them that way and give everyone involved a "timeout".
