Well I gotta say that in a forum like this there are SOME boundaries......just not for the reasons that peeps were spouting earlier and not for the piece in question.....people are gonna flip over this one and well, truth is that it crosses over into that silly 'porn' arena zoey was talking about so methinks it'll be summarily deleted by an admin and if the line's repeatedly crossed then players' ID's will be banned, 1st temporarily, then permanently. You've got good taste Wraith, and I stand behind what I said earlier re:the merit of hussar and I was just about to post Giger's "Master and Margerita", but good sense prevents me from being able to do so until the topless Nun comes down, no matter how much fun she'd be to play pente with Everybody (specifically Z, etc....) consider how many more bees you can catch with honey rather than vinegar before you melt down on a fellow player here.....and unless you're a real artist yourself, please refrain from trying to modify and shrink the definition of artistic merit to suit your mood. There could well come a day when images far more provoking or terrifying will evoke a memory or feeling in you that will make you grateful that somewhere an artist was free enough, or against the will of those who sought to govern him/her they made themself available to do the work that so many turned their noses up at and thumbs down on. Ciao.

a topless nun.....either you really feel players need to see this art,..or your like a kid who gets a kick outa seeing how far a line can be pushed before stopping.
perhaps you can just post a link to the other website for people to check out, instead of putting the pictures dirrectly into this website.
just a thought

I don't think they could take the Giger........

Sandyr is a sharp one.....I feel ya on the defensive thing.....very well put. Well I'm headed back from whence I came.......anyone down for a TB set can find me @ BK. And remember.....Artists can color the sky red because they know it's blue. Those of you who aren't artists must color things the way they really are or people might think that you're stupid.
