Dear Sharp,

Thank you for the detailed answer. I understand you and respect your tolerance and patience, however I don't agree with you in this case.

As I said I won't argue, I accept the decision from you as the moderator and founder of the forum. I think tomorrow I will write one more post about it.

Good night.

Personally I didnt see anything wrong with the photo as they were all 100% clothed! A little "edgy" but it wasnt violent or xrated ...or even r-rated?? And I didnt bother to read the photo file name either as Akos did.. but I dont see why all the hoopla?

Daytime TV and commercials have more sexual innuendos. Any kid on the internet can see 10x more than that OZY photo with a few clicks. Its the 20th Century.

For me, I see more of a problem with top music artists doing violent videos and gangster music. Such as Rihanna's new video of "Man Down" is a slap in the face of any kind of censors. Kids look up to her.. and listen to her... and her gunning a man down on a video I think is pitiful, and has more of an impact on kids. Todays new music has become all "Loops" and "Samples" and a contest between Pop artists to see who can arouse the media to sell a song.

Ever since reading ozy's post about banging a couple of teenage girls in a motel room, many of his subsequent posts have rubbed me the wrong way too (I have a teenage daughter) so I definitely see Akos' point. I found some of ozy's contributions in the Japan earthquake threads to be particularly offensive.

I'm with you, Akos

Everyone has the ability to simply go elsewhere. If they feel like a member is disruptive and they report and nothing is done about, then go to another forum, or start your own. That's what a lot of people have done in the past.

I just ignore "visually" the people I want to ignore. As soon as I see it's from someone I want to ignore, I just do it - especially on this forum.

BTW: this is not the only forum where you might feel attacked. There are lots of other places.

Time for opinions, so here goes.

I enjoy creative humor, and Ozy shares a lot of that on this forum- it takes time to write those posts of his, and it's easy enough to skip over them if you're not interested. Even with the occasional risque posts/references, I've seen little that was over-the-top blatantly offensive. This is not particularly a site that most children would have any interest in, I really don't see the harm.

And he shares a lot of good technical info as well. A great contributor overall.

What I do object to however is the rancorous, abusively denigrating tone that he and others occasionally use. I find that incredibly abrasive and off-putting. This part of the forum was getting a lot of that from a whole bunch of folks for awhile.

I chalked it up to being cranky and impatient while waiting for the Kronos, but it's really hard to take when people start slinging shite at each other. Not helpful or entertaining or worthwhile in any way.

PS Wow- this is a self-censoring site. In the above paragraph I said a word that rhymes with fit and it came out as s**t. Is s**t a bad word?

I guess this is where the expression:
"you can't teach old dogs new tricks"
because Ozy should have learned from my picture with the headphone-sisters and not post something even inclining towards something sexual.

I didn't realise that such an "incident" would come up again, but it did.

I enjoy both Ozy's Hell posts and Akos's Heaven posts and I think you can't have one without the other really.

I must tend to my garden instead of commenting further I think.......
