Chris, I was talking about the pendulum in the broad sense, not just at this site. In the past few years, we have seen the "moral majority" forcing their opinions down on the entire world, about what is right and what is wrong. The pendulum has swung too far to the right. I won't get into a philosophical diatribe about the way things should be, because it will throw this thread way off topic ... but what has happened is that the opinions of a very vocal few have basically decided that anyone who puts a nude or partially nude child in their art work, regardless of whether or not it has erotic intent, are "child pornographers" who feed the interests of pedophiles. That is pure bunk. I am not saying I want to fill my galleries with pictures of nude children, but putting further restrictions on the TOS wasn't the best way to handle the situation.
