Im not sure if this is the right forum for this post; but I wanted to open it up to the all users and not just restricting it to the writers forum. I know that I have also posted this in my gallery, I thought I would post it here just to see what kind of reaction it would get. I must apologise for this as it can be deemed as more of a rant than anything artistic, but I have a grievance that I wish to air to you guys. The grievance that I have is simply peoples views on what common man regards as filth (pornography). Up until lunchtime to day I held a full time job. The position I held wasnt high or glamorous; I simply answered phones and helped people with their queries, the job was neither busy nor slow. I always did my work, yes sometimes I was late in but I had to rely on public transport. Anyway at lunchtime to day I was given the option of being dismissed or resigning from the job. I choose to resigning, simply because it would look better on future job applications that I will be making very shortly. The reason for my dismissal was due to my Internet use. Whilst at work I have a few sites I access; one forum dealing with music and films, a forum for re-enactors, The Internet Movie Database and Renderosity. It is Renderosity that I have got into trouble for; they have this site regarded as containing sexually explicit adult material. Where as in my eyes it contains art. So what are we, a web ring of high quality porn! I think of myself as a writer an artist and a photographer; I see all of you as the same. In my mind I have posted poems, story and photographs that have value in there structure and artistic existence. But according to the company I use to work for, the site contains filth. Am I wrong in my thoughts that I have been wrongfully forced into my current situation by a bunch of self-centred bigoted morons? And if so what on earth is this world coming too. Before writing this I looked at my list of favourite artists and pictures. I needed to find the porn that had lost me my job. Firstly there is the God like talent of Addy, most of you know her work (if you dont I would say it is worth a look). Nope no porn there. Next in my list is NothingNess, what more can be said other than a gentle soul who write with the power of frustration. The Hobbit, beautifully constructed renders, The-Slinger, now perhaps it is this guy, there is certainly flesh in his posts or TT again another hint of flesh but is it filth. I could go on but I think I will exhaust the possibilities of finding anything incriminating. My most explicit thumbnail image is of a close up of an inner elbow. Yes I will admit than many pieces of my writing has an adult content, but I feel that they are part of the story I am telling and therefore not unnecessary. Did Stephen King, James Herbert or Richard Laymon ever get sacked for writing about sex! Should all movies that reference any form of unnecessary violence, sex or explicit language be banned from our screens? Especially when the news is doing its best to show the horrific violence that is exploding around our world at an unnervingly regular pace. Personally I love this site and the people with in it. I do on the other hand find it difficult to understand why accessing it has brought me to this annoying part of my life, where I find myself unemployed with an expecting wife. Am I so blind to the obvious content of this site, of is it to do with some people are just too uptight that they cannot recognize the difference between art and filth. So I request you who have read this, to comment. Be as truthful as you can. Am I simply going mad or is this site so full of pornographic material that it warrants an immediate dismissal from work. The floor is now open
