I am not new to the galleries but I AM new to the forum. What IS happening to Heart'song's pictures? I have become fond of a few favorites here though I have never commented, peferring to just browse in silence, but lately I've noticed even older pictures being removed, and not just Heart'song's. I see the old bugbear "nudity" has reared it's head in another American setting! Also, I have noticed that when people question the removal of their pictures too vigourously the thread is removed. Looks like censorship to me. Of course this IS a privately run forum so the moderators can censor whomever they please, it just seems like intellectual cowardice. What's going on? One would expect a commmunity of artists to be one of the last bastions of DEBATE and conversation, especially concerning the age old "smut versus art" argument. I was (am) very fond of Heart'songs pictures, usually displayed with great feeling, but I have not seen anything resembling porn here...unless PLENTY of other pictures here look like porn to certain people also. And I am SURE someone here does think most of the scantily clad faeries are pornographic! How childish! Interesting parallels to the FCC "crackdown" and debates going on in the non-artist rest of the country. What a shame. I always expect art communities to be more comfortable with painted images and fantasies. Anyway, what did happen to Heart'song's pictures? And it seems logical that one would not hear of people being banned if they are BANNED!!! Banning, by it's very definition, means a loss of, at the very least, a voice.
