Hi Jeanne. I am new to most BDSM lifestyle practices but you certainly don't sound very "sub" to me! Could it be that you are forcefully located inside a teacher? LOL!
When this thread started, I thought it was meant to express a personal opinion and not expecting censorship to be the goal. Since that time, I have come to another conclusion: the first comments were stated to ask for the removal of a topic considered vilely offensive to some (possibly many) readers.
Sure, as soon as anything is removed based upon someone’s personal feelings of offensiveness, all things are in jeopardy of removal. The very nature of free speech is threatened by the slightest censorship.
However, this site as well as most others (and ALL the legal sites!) bans material each and every day because it contains child pornography – almost universally accepted as heinous and vile. Indeed, censorship is alive, well and actively promoted as the ONLY way to handle child pornography. Would you consider including such material for the sake of free speech? Would you consider its inclusion even if it weren’t illegal? Do your comments: (“It's not as if they were actual murder confessions and/or incitations [sic]! Fiction is fiction.”) consider that fictional child pornography need not be confessional yet is STILL offensive enough to remain illegal regardless of free speech rights?
As soon as the “magic words” are typed, the BDSMLibrary’s Administrator and Moderator(s) will need to interject and restate the site’s policy on child porn. I’m sorry this reply will make that necessary yet again, but it’s obvious that some things are simply not acceptable in any way, shape or form. So, for someone to be offended by snuff (or a hairy twat!) is a freedom of speech issue as well. Many of the responses to the original post were attacks of the rights of individuals to say whatever they choose to say. Yours was not. However, seeing both sides of the censorship debate (whether it’s about snuff or anything else) can’t be reduced to something as simple as ‘universal free speech’.
PS I happen to love twats of all persuasions so please let me know what you find offensive about the hairy ones. Seriously, I’d love to know. No bull. Really. Please?
Deleting snuff stories? Because they offend you? Well I'm offended by any story with a hairy twat. Start the deletion!
Jinn has the completely right idea of an open end repository. If he starts deleting on any criteria he'll also start assuming artistic responsibility for content. It's not as if they were actual murder confessions and/or incitations! Fiction is fiction.
