**It is obvious you didnt bother reading what I actually said about the subject.
I'm not trying to force you to see the nudes i'm posting. I've put forward a suggestion that will enable me to post them and enable you to avoid them. For your benefit I'll repeat what I said:

"I do have a solution which would put the onerous of action on them.  Let me flag my gallery  as a whole as ‘not for the puritans’ . Let them flag themselves as ‘puritan’.  All images  or at least all thumbnails of images by artists defining their gallery as not for puritans will be blocked/masked for all puritan members. People who see nudity automatically as obscene are not welcome in my gallery as a whole I shouldnt need to  flag specific images.
(By the way having images blocked from overly sensitive people is not a new idea it exists, for example on redbubble.com, so it is perfectly feasible to implement)."

The moderators chose to ignore my suggestion without a single word of explanation. You can chose to ignore it too and  confirm that this is for you and the moderators  a "tabu" issue - you dont want to think about it rationally just in case you'll see your opponent's opinion is actually quite reasonable and considerate.

"I paint that which comes from the imagination or from dreams, or from an unconscious drive. I photograph the things that I do not wish to paint, the things which already have an existence."
Man Ray, modernist painter
