To Scott and Clint,

1. You can't win for losing.
2. Remember, this IS a community of ARTISTS
3. You do realize that you will now have to come up with rules which are excruciatingly detailed, (kind of like the tax code) covering every possible situation which may arise in the galleries (that may not be such a bad idea for you) or you will be pilloried and labled as, and let me get my list out, "homophobic, sexist, bigoted, racist and a Nazi"....did I leave any out?

Freedom of speech and expression is a double-edged sword and different people are offended by different things. I don't know who complained about the image, but if the person that complained had posted something that offended some of the other people on this forum (take your pick of whatever you find offensive) would they have complained that they were offended or would they just let it go? If we are calling for fairness here, it should extend to EVERYONE. I understand the need for clarity in the rules, and perhaps that is what is really at issue here, but let's not pounce on the moderators and start slandering and libeling them.

I don't usually respond to things like this, but sometimes I get tired of people being bullied if their way of thinking isn't in lock-step with the current mores.

Joan
