I don't think that comparing an online store for artists which is on a site that bills itself as an art community to a local drugstore is entirely appropriate. Of course you can't use the condoms in the store, because it's illegal to have sex in public. You also can't destroy the merchandise or wreck the joint (that's illegal, too). Posting images is not very similar to what may not be done in stores, y'know? NOT that I'm complaining about R'sity's policies (for once ;-), because I'm a big believer in sites being able to set whatever policy they want (and I have the right to say the policies are stupid if I think they are, of course, but I still have to abide by them or expect to be warned or banned or whatever). I'm just saying I find the comparison of a website to a shopping center not very credible, and not very apt as a metaphor. Or do people really not understand the difference between that which is known as "real life" and that which is known as "virtual" or "online"? ;-P bonni
