My problem is that *any* censorship is arbitrary.

Either you adopt a Voltaire stance that you disagree but will defend the right of free speech (and swallow the pill when needed); or you draw the line at everything discriminatory, but really everything discriminatory.

It doesn't have to do with whether they have artistic merit either. Prussian Blue has artistic merit. But they don't have a page. Draw Muhammad Day does.

It is already too much (for me) that a lot of CL speak is construed as either KP or advocacy of illegal contact. But at least I understand a legal rationale about it; GC and other CL sites, and even Philip Greaves, have themselves shown how and why this is, if painful, needed.

But just as "the 9yo has sexy legs" doesn't imply you're gonna have illegal contact, rape jokes don't imply you're gonna rape.
