Still nudity none-the-less. I've seen breasts yes, but children haven't,
and you need to protect the children. There's probably worse stuff in links and sigs all over AW but yours was the only one I saw recently :( --Bowen-- Have $3... want a website? http://www.smartpenguin.com/affiliate.php?id=12 [View Quote] goober kingMay 25, 2002, 1:18am
Why does he need to protect the children? The children aren't his
responsibility, that falls on the children's parents. It's not his fault if children stumble upon his site and see something that is offensive to them. It's not as if he's saying "Hey kids! Check out my site! Fun for the whole family!" The site is tailored for his target audience, and children are not that audience so they won't like/understand what they see there. Again, that's not Anduin's fault. [View Quote] > Still nudity none-the-less. I've seen breasts yes, but children haven't, > and you need to protect the children.

It is not offensive material on my website, not the way I see it. That picture is plain art which even children would see in a museum or walking down the street passing a satue of a beautiful woman. Or even a statue of a boy holding his penis and doing are piss. I don't know what you see so offensive here. I've made the site specifically so that any age can accidently bump into my site without seeing something that would offend them in a way that it would alter their minds. If someone doesn't like the site, they simply close it. If a parent comes accross it and doesn't like it, they restrict it. I've listed my site on the child protection programs, so that parents who do install protection programs can choose to disable it or not. Even though, it wasn't even rated as 18+ only. ,,,,, (o o) /--------------ooO--(_)--Ooo--------------\ | Anduin (317281) | | o The Gorean Scribe | | o http://www.anduin-lothario.com | | o It wasn't me, it was the one I'm in! | \--------------ooO-------Ooo--------------/ silencedMay 25, 2002, 5:21am
Well it doesn't need to be in his sig for the activeworlds newsgroups since
this is used by children. I've met some pretty ignorant people, but this takes the cake. How could you not see how see that? At least I'm not attacking the freaking gor part of it, and that it says "Slaves." What kind of image is this in general? Hey if you're going to attack me too for caring, I might as well have multiple points for what I'm saying. --Bowen-- Have $3... want a website? http://www.smartpenguin.com/affiliate.php?id=12 [View Quote] silencedMay 25, 2002, 5:27am
What about the children that aren't breast fed?
Omfg.. not alter their minds? When they see slaves and see the part that says "my slaves," they might also start thinking it's ok to mistreat others. Or to enslave women. Some people are like that you know, not everyone was raised to not believe everything they read. Of course it's not offensive to you, you made it, and you partake in it. Fine, I give up, I just don't realize why you can't disable it for >these< newsgroups. A few clicks and you're done, no more fuss, no more worry, no more indecent exposure, yadda yadda yadda, blah blah blah. Since you don't care and it shows, no matter what I say, you wouldn't change it. Ignorance is bliss I suppose. --Bowen-- Have $3... want a website? http://www.smartpenguin.com/affiliate.php?id=12 anduinMay 25, 2002, 5:34am

I don't mistreat others either, I look at women in the highest respect, and I treat them in such as long as I get that in return also. Goreans give girls that act in manners of slaves, the title of slave. Technically put though, these women are 'submissive', I really wish people would stop getting them both confused. Slavery is illegal in this day and age, at-least in my country it is. These women wish to protray themselves as such, they enjoy behaving in such manner, they enjoy showing their beauty in all ways possible, to please the eyes of those interested. They enjoy being controlled by men who can. >Of course it's not offensive to you, you made it, and you partake in it. If you are offended, place me on your killfiles, it is my way of life. I would not go off at anyone for posting a link for their beliefs in 'god' and 'satan'. It is my way of life, I enjoy it, some call me a fool, but they are seen as that in return. >Fine, I give up, I just don't realize why you can't disable it for >these< >newsgroups.

Since you don't >care and it shows, no matter what I say, you wouldn't change it. Ignorance >is bliss I suppose. Because I have every right to have my domain linked to my signature, no matter which news servers I may be connected to; there are always children on all parts of the internet. It is up to the parents to disable sites that may for some reason offend them or are worried about their children visiting. Titanic was rated PG, I mean? What? You don't see the main actor stripping completely nude and being drawn on paper as art? You don't see the scene where they are having sex in the car, the windows fogged up, her hand sliding down the window. What image does that give to children? If they don't like it, they turn their heads to the side and don't look at it. Or their parents say 'turn around' until the scene has past? Also, there is no indecent exposure on my domain. ,,,,, (o o) /--------------ooO--(_)--Ooo--------------\ | Anduin (317281) | | o The Gorean Scribe | | o http://www.anduin-lothario.com | | o It wasn't me, it was the one I'm in! | \--------------ooO-------Ooo--------------/ strike rapierMay 25, 2002, 8:34am
Well full slavery is a crime against humanity in pritty much every developed
country, I will not comment on if i like or condem your way off life, thats for every individual person to decide from themself.. all im saying is plese dont includ it in your signiture. There is enough harse feelings towards the goreans as it is, its not suitable to put it on the NG as well. As for the point about it being the parents responcability. A parent can not supervise everything a child does, and nothing ive seen protects children automatically for things such as gorean pages that may contain harmfull text or material. Now i fully understand what you mean about not being slaves just being submissive as such, If they are free to change their lifestyle where and how they see fit and they are not misstreated in any way whatsoever I have no problem at all with it. On the point of the picture, yes, it is art. Ive seen far more graphical, if it were a photo ud be booted of the NG by AWC so fast for advertising pornography you wouldent have chance to see the insults youd get on here. All i (and i believe most others) are that you do not display that link, I doubt anyone has a problem with your title, but the link is a direct portal to a way off ilfe that would scare the hell out of most kids who dont have the maturity to deal with it in a proper manner. SO i ask you with the utmost respect, please can you not include that in your signiture for the good of those who cant handle it :) - Mark nornny11May 25, 2002, 11:24am
Last I checked, this was a general.discussion newsgroup. If he has no
"right" or "priviledge" to post a link to his website in THIS newsgroup at least, then please inform me to what he is entitled to. Everyone put themselves in this newsgroup with full awareness that anything goes, hence why this group was created. I've seen MUCH worse out text postings around here (not this thread specifically, but elsewhere), than I do one webpage with a sketch of a naked woman on it. Even AW's texture path has a picture of a naked woman. As for the whole slave aspect, one can find worse listening to modern music. Anduin doesn't swear or cuss on the site, and he's providing a service to Goreans. He's apparently taken the measures to prevent as much contact with children as possible, it's up to parents to do the rest. I'm assuming you're talking about 6-10 year old kids, since the majority of us here are 11-21 year olds. If you "kids" are seeing it, isn't that something to be said? What did you guys do once you saw it and was offended? You closed it. That's the same for any book, email, or anything. If a kid wants to snoop around the site, and he's able to, then let him/her. The only reason he'd be able to is if his parents had let him by not watching what he views. But even that totally exceeds the point that this is a GENERAL DISCUSSION newsgroup. Anduin is welcome to post his links, you're welcome to be offended, but I don't think anyone is in a position to tell him NOT to continue posting the link. In fact, this newsgroup was kind of created for Anduin, you can say, because he wasn't, and still probably isn't, allowed to discuss this in community, where it is moderated, if not by Flagg, by the posters themselves.

My signature has a link to my domain, so what. It doesn't even remotely come close to having being rated 18 or over. If I wished it, I could even add to my signature my world name, or better yet, go off to the Community area and discuss about my paid world which happens to be a Gor world. I would have every right to do so, as it's a part of the ActiveWorlds community. Now, on the other hand, if you wish for me to place a pop up text window which opens as soon as you load the main page, that explains that it is not recommended for a person under the age of 18 to enter the site, then I would be happy to do that. It gives advance warning that if they press "yes" they agree to what they have read, and if they press "no", well, they can go off to disney land. I will gladly place such a script on my site, but I will not change my signature because some find it offensive. ,,,,, (o o) /--------------ooO--(_)--Ooo--------------\ | Anduin (317281) | | o The Gorean Scribe | | o http://www.anduin-lothario.com | | o It wasn't me, it was the one I'm in! | \--------------ooO-------Ooo--------------/ anduinMay 25, 2002, 12:01pm

Are you totally joking, or just way too protected as a child?
Babies are supposed spend the beginning of their lives staring at their Mother's breasts, and even touching them, with their mouth no less. Piggies do it too. I've never heard of that emotionally scarring any one... have you? got milk? [View Quote] chickengurlMay 25, 2002, 8:30pm
