Quote - People please stop picking on Acadia.  While I disagree with the policy, and think the policy is dumb, Acadia is a good person and has been TREMENDOUSLY helpful to many, many people.  If you have issues with the policy, it doesn't exactly set you up on the moral high ground to go beat the crap out of people on a personal level.

I'll second that. She's the newbie Mod, remember? Offal of this nature originates at a much higher level. Hall monitors don't make school policy; that comes from the principle's office, it does it does. And living in TN, I can say that there has been no recorded change in 'community standard' laws as of late (assuming they didn't bury it on page 1254678 of a road spending bill. They do that a lot around here....). So unless there is some wingnut procecutor looking for the 'Big Case' (tm) to get his/her sorry ass re-elected, the 'Servers in TN' excuse doesn't fly (And if there =HAVE= been such changes, it would behoove the rosity management to mention it and provide linkage to the actual text. Most of the people around here are pretty cool about following the law, no matter how insipid it is. But keep in mind that Thorne is in Middle TN as well...and Faeriewylde is still up and doing fine.....). Trying to have it both ways has never worked, for anyone. You can't be a true art community if you don't respect some of the basic principles of art. Art offends. It arouses. It hits you between the eyes and makes you blink. You cry. You smile. You laugh (and if its bad art, you groan. Loudly). Trying to make this place 'workplace safe' is not only futilely insane, it smacks of irresponsibility. Considering the vast grayness that current corporate thinking embraces regarding 'sexual harassment', anyone fool enough to try even accessing this or any other site in Poserdom is flirting with a pink slip at the least, and a SH suite more likely (and being a union shop steward, I do know what I am talking about here, folks. With SH, right now it's guilty unless you can prove otherwise). For those who have kids. If you the adult bring something you are afraid your preciouses might not be ready to see into your home, the responsibility is yours to keep it from them. If this is due to arm twisting from one or more of the financial processors, it would be in rosity's better interests to -tell- people. But like I said earlier; the easiest thing is to find other galleries, and let the chips fall...
