So, what exactly am I doing wrong? Please be specific.

I tire of a few long time posters who seem to have a need to push the limits, who attack moderators and even the administrator, and those who continually push the limits of in real life violations.


Is that what you tire of, Rockslider? What is it about the green font colour that turns reasonable people into moral watchdogs, imposing their sense of right and wrong upon the posters here?

You may tire of limit-pushers and mod-attackers, but before you go spewing your holier-than-thou red font all over the board, I'd challenge you to find *one* rule I've ever violated. One. You won't find it. Even in the recent art thread I started, I followed Shades rules to the letter. Shades has now recanted his Louvre-rule and I haven't posted anything in violation.

As you know, it's the Letter that matters and I never violate the Letter of the Law. I promise to push right up against the Letter, but I will never exceed the Letter. Watch what I can do to the forum next. It will drive you absolutely batty AND you won't sanction me because you will find that even though you are going nuts with rage, I will have operated well within the rules.

Stay tuned, and relax.

I thought a couple of concrete examples would help make your case for "censorship."

Also I don't find your condescension impressive, persuasive, or intimidating.


Condescension? You misread, good fellow; I was offering you a compliment. And I was making no case for or against censorship. Enlightenment, perhaps. But censorship? Never.

Oh, Shades, why do you think my letter is about you? That letter is my form of artistic expression and is a lamentation on the void. Do you think it is about you? Have you actually interacted with my art and made an interpretation? Tell us more!

Unlike my green brothers and sisters, I refuse to exercise moral judgment upon my fellow board members. I'll leave that to the professionals.

If any of You didn't detected it:

In my comment (viewtopic.php?p=659051#p659051) I wrote two LINK to pictures VISIBLE in viewtopic.php?f=2&t=27026
One of that links was deleted (without any sign) , the other was marked as NSFW.


My links are deleted, are marked [RED] (this is not that colour...) and my pictures are banned.

Dear Shades,

What about male nipples?

Need clarification.

Thank you,

Zee.

What about a woman nursing a baby when no nipples are visible?

All I know is if those fighting for ludwigm's freedom have hindered zeezrom's super fine art posting past ... and that he will now be censored based on their need to set that law, that they might push it's boundaries, they have done MDB a disservice.

Please clarify. Can I post:

1. Male nipples?
2. One penis (you state penii, I assume you meant penises, and that multiple penises are not allowed)
3. One vulva?
4. The clitoris?
5. Labia minora, if the vulva is out of sight?
6. Bare buttocks?
7. Pictures of nipples, areolae, penises, vulvae, pubes if they pictures of primates other than humans? Non-primates?
8. A shaved mons pubis?
9. Testicles?
10. A woman wearing a micro bikini?
11. A woman in a chilly room?
12. The anus (male or female)?


Please, if we are following the letter of the law, these are important questions!
