Thanks for not flipping out about this. You are handeling this like a mature adult. And that's a refreshing thing to see. I didn't remove your image myself. But I can see why it was removed. It struck me as sexual satire concerning technology and sex. The other images you compared it to were more traditionally accepted expressions of "art" One thing to keep in mind is that what we all see as art is influenced by what others have done. And I think that's how an image of a man and a woman naked hugging (even if his hand is on her butt) is considered acceptable. I don't see how you can't tell the difference between your image. And the other ones. The difference is obvious to me. Yours is not the traditional type. That's not exactly bad. Just something that could offend people. Remember. We are using judgement here. Not some hard fast rule book. It's possible for us to make a bad call. Or even miss an inappropriate image here or there. I know it doesn't make you feel any better. But it's unfortunate that we mods have to do this kinda thing. We don't like messing with people's stuff. Removing images and messages is always the last thing any of us wants to do. ScottA
