Quote - We have this strange little vague fear that perverts are trolling the galleries at FW or Rosity or here looking to get their jollies off by pictures of little boys and girls. There probably are, just as there are pervs tearing through the catalogues from Sears to see all those little boys in their tidy-whities. But y'know, here's the thing: if the PTB knew anything about child porn, they'd know that whether or not the kid is naked is immaterial -- all the child molester is interested in is seeing the kid, period. Child molestation isnt about sexuality so much as it is about power, and power doesnt care about the kid's genitalia, just that the kid is underage and therefore pliable to the will of some perv. So does that mean we should eliminate all images of children? After all, a child molester is gonna be just as excited by Sadie in a rainjacket as Sadie buck-ass nekkid... probably even more so, because that rainjacket just allows his imagination to run wild.

That's a lot like saying, since the thieves know how to break in, why bother locking your house. A logical fallacy.

Quote - Where does it stop, folks?

It's really rather simple and boils down to common sense. When in a public place, do what is socially acceptable in a public place. This is a public place.

If someone wants different rules, then they need to build their own community where those rules are acceptable, and hopefully for their own protextion they will find a way to screen the membership.

It's interesting to see that there is a fair amount of people whom people have such a flippant attitude about internet, and think that all of a sudden all rules of life and social behavior and interaction should suddenly dissapear.  Yea, sure it would be nice to have this virtual fantasy outlet where the annoying rules we have to follow in life wouldn't apply, but guess what, that's not a very realistic expectation. So, yes, I can understand when someone's unrealistic expectation gets trampled on, they're going to get upset.
