Quote - [...]. some pornography has quite a bit of artistic value (whereas most is just hastily thrown together crap) 

Excuse me, but it's pretty obvious here that you haven't actually looked at any of the pictures that can be produced here. Not touting my own horn, but on Raunchyminds there's a LOT of pictures that, although undeniably pornographic by the definitions established in this thread, are also very very beautiful and far from "hastily thrown together crap". I suggest you take a look before you say something that categorically.

Also RM has very few rules and low moderation, but ... strangely enough we're not plagued by the scum of the Internet over there. It's all about general attitude I s'pose. "Smile and the world smiles at you" kind of thing...

I think this debate has been truly one of the best here for a long time. People has been debating with an open mind, and it's interesting how similar, yet different people view the difference between nudity, erotica and porn. Of course it's 3 different things, but again, sometimes they overlap.
