How long does it take to convey an idea?!! The idea was NEVER that a rule applies to Heart'Song. The idea is that the moderators are NOT CONSISTENT with their interpretation of the rules they are supposed to be moderating! THAT IS THE POINT!!! SHE ABSOLUTELY FOLLOWED THE RULES!! There is NO MENTION of "PELVIC AREA" in the TOS. There is a rule banning the showing of gelitalia on child-like figures, a rule I HEARTILY AGREE WITH, but there were absoultely NO genitals on the child elves in Heart'Song's work! How long will it take for you to get this??! What was the infraction? Suggestive pics? LOOK AT THE GALLERY! It's FULL of suggestive work, at least in my opinion. Of course one man's sugestive is another man's art. See City of Cincinatti vs Cincinatti Museum of Art/Mapplethorpe Exibit. I am a rule person. I served SIX YEARS in the Air Force and I did very well there. But the people enforcing those rules have to, at the very least, understand what the rules are they're enforcing. Heart'Song's mistreatment begins because the moderators can't understand what the rules say. Are there rules against pelvic regions? NO!!! And by the way, I agree whole heartedly with "TdaC" and "Zrincx". Shame on you for associating Heart'Song's work with the vile stuff you mentioned!! That in itself is a VILE, reprehensible act! And BTW... I joined this forum to comment on the unfair and shabby way an artist was treated...I ALWAYS get into forums and letter writing campaigns when I see a gross injustice stupidly committed! A people loses most of their rights one tiny piece at a time, slowly and insidiously, and it starts on little forums like this all over the country. This wasn't even an issue of idealogy or sensibility. It was an issue of the people who are enforcing the rules arbitrarily applying those rules because they cannot grasp what they are reading. Including Carolly!!! And as I stated before, if there is a rule barring new forum members from commenting then let me know. I AM a rules guy. But BE EXPLICIT! I don't want to be caught up in the stupidity that ensnared Heart'Song. I won't be on this forum much longer, I promise. Oh, and I saw a lament a few days ago about "what can we do?". Well, I NEVER, ever shop at Wal-Mart. And I believe with all my heart they have the ABSOLUTE right to ban items from their store. I also have the right to not drop my hard-earned dollars there. If they want to ban material they consider "subservisive" and "unsuitable", like say, ohhhh..GEORGE CARLIN'S BOOK, that is definitely their prerogative. I shop at other bookstores. And so can you. I am heartened by all those who wrote to defend Heart'Song. All you courageous and conscientious artists, good luck. You are outnumbered.
