Non, Frog.
Ca suffit.
On est là, en train de discuter d'un truc (les manifs en France) et on se prend des remarques parce qu'il y a une pauvre photo de Mariane ou un tableau de Delacroix.
L'argument de la sécurité au travail est ridicule. C'est juste pas vrai!
Si un mec se fait capter sur un forum et qu'il y a un tableau de Delacroix, il pourra avoir des problèmes parce qu'il glande, pas parce qu'il aime la peinture.
En réalité, les mods ici ont fini par être plus catholiques que le pape.

D'ailleurs, le pape ne joue plus avec les catholiques. (dommage c'était mieux que tiven)
ça me gonfle grave que des gens intelligens arrivent à abdiquer de cette manière face à la pression d'une minorité ultra-conservatrice. C'est aussi pour ça que je suis contre le respect absolu des sensibilités de toute les minorités, c'est réduire la sphère publique au plus petit dénominateur commun.
Je ne comprendrais jamais ce pays qui produit les Sopranos et qui oblige un type qui aurais vu un téton sur un écran à prendre des cours sur le harcèlement sexuel. |

Hey, just relax everybody...
This forum is a great forum, perhaps one of the best in the world, no one saying the opposite. I know and I think we all know you're making a great job (Dean, Brian and Tre), and it's a lot of responsabilities, no one's denying this.
Talking of what we are arguing about here: I posted those pictures and paintings because:
I wanted to highlight the discussion, and to focus on the history and devellopments of nudity in French art, and Rémi was making a clear reference to recent political events. The picture of Delacroix is very famous, in fact it was printed on our old bills some years ago. There was nothing offensive in that towards Tre or anybody else. In fact, there was nothing lewd or sexual in those pictures. Sensual, maybe, but not sexual or lewd. This is art for god's sake! I'm sure even your bosses at work would understand the difference! Those pictures are in magazines, history books, you see it in school, in the museums, in the advertisements, art forums, etc... I would even go further: there's no nudity in these pictures, THERE'S ART, that's all.
what we are trying to say is that I guess everybody understands the difference between pornography and non-pornography, it's not so difficult. I knew that nudity wasn't allowed on the forum, but I was trying to point out some aspects of the history of representations. I'd like to think that discussing about the origins and the meanings of nudity in our civilizations, and trying to understand what is provocative and what's behind the representations is better that just saying: NO nudity.
About the locked threads: somebody said that no one really mattered about locking the "I just watched..." except Floop and Fartbone, that's not true: many of us have said and have tried to explain our points of vue about that specific thread.
I don't know who did that, but thanks for unlocking me. Now I can explain myself.

je pense qu'il faut pas abdiquer. on est en majorité. on a raison. si on tape tout s'écroule - il faudra qu'ils composent un peu. Ils le savent (j'en veux pour preuve leur effort lamentable de nettoyer le forum)
l'attitude de dean est scandaleuse. il refuse de comprendre et prend tout au 1er degré, c'est navrant, je le trouvais plutôt sympa avant.
ils se sont jamais posé la question de savoir si on pouvait signaler les topics où il y a un nichon, où mettre tout ça dans un tiroir à part du forum. ou bien ils sont stupides ou bien ils s'en foutent.
je refuse que les mecs qui daubent sur dave noisy derrière son dos se comportent ainsi ici. dave noisy, au moins, a le courage de ses opinions.

Cass, I agree with every single thing you say there. In fact, I don't understand how someone can disagree.

Cassandra, this isn't about the art in those paintings. Those being removed was more to do with the reason they were posted (defiance) rather than there being a bared breast. I agree there is nothing sexual or lewd or offensive abot it, except for the reason it was posted - out of spite for Tre changing a direct post to a link.
That Adnan doesn't agree doesn't surprise me. But if Adnan continues to insult members of this forum personally, he'll be removed. That we're moderators doesn't make us immune to being picked on and insulted.
Sincerely,
-Pope Dean

COF, I didn't post the delacroix painting in defiance (it's not renaissance it's XIXth), it was an explanation of the meaning of the linked by tre picture. And it wasn't posted in an agressive way.
You can read my post again.
Please adnan, stop with nazi comparison, it's a bit hard. Intellectual fascism would be better. |

Compte bien tes troupes, général. Personnellement, je ne comprends rien à ton désir soudain de partir en guerre.
Noisy a débarqué de nulle part, supprimé un fil de discussion entier sans avertissement, distribué quelques leçons de morale puis redisparu pendant des mois. Par contre, Brian, Tre et Dean ont fait ces derniers mois un énorme travail pour améliorer le site et sont présents en permanence sur ce forum. Depuis des heures ils s'échinent à expliquer les règles, puisque règles il faut bien qu'il y ait apparemment, et s'efforcent de calmer les choses tandis que, franchement, tu as l'air de faire de ton mieux pour foutre le feu.
Voilà pourquoi je ne suis vraiment pas d'accord avec la comparaison. Ni avec le reste d'ailleurs. (On s'en fout, je sais, mais je l'aurai dit une fois pour toutes.)

Monsieur, I do not think you are even trying to understand.
If you light up a cigarette in a non smoking cafe you are going to piss people off. Same principle. This rules argument is nonsense. Everyone has a certain level of societal rules they will adhere to like or not. It may not be my rule but on the behalf of others, not the owner of the site but the users, I will apply it. As far as courage of convictions go my objection back in the day to the deleting of beautiful women was not the deletion of the thread but the way the situation was handled. If you read back you will find I was never happy about those photo's being posted and I stand by that now. I considered the situation when I saw that picture and decided that linking it was for the best. I thought it would prevent any potential for offense by people who do browse at work. I thought it would prevent any more flare ups around this issue and I thought you would understand. I truly did. I was determined to handle it better than such scenarios have been handled and was very open about what I was doing.
You claim we are not respecting the french cultural implications contained within the thread but consider that you have french speakers on forum who are not from such a society. You do have people who browse at work and people who have children who browse at home and people who would probably prefer to have such imagery as an option. It still is an option that is available. I think you are over-reacting and making argument now for the sake of it.
I don't like your accusations to my behaviour. I don't appreciate having these negative comments about the efforts made by moderators on forum. I spend so much of my time trying to compile things for the database. Sorting out quotes, complete back-cats, lyrics and definitions all this stuff takes so much time. Dean is continually tweaking and mending, Brian is always working hard and they put serious hours in on the podcast and the general running of the forum. We do all this, as you know, relatively unsupported. We are always trying to think of interesting things that would work for the forum. If you can think of any throw it at us, if you have a better way then share it and don't just do us down. You know full well how open I am when it comes to figuring out what is wrong and what can be done better. I have always had a lot of respect for you Monsieur as an intelligent human being. In this instance it seems to me that you are being very closed minded and insulting about this whole scenario.
I repeat: What do you want me to do.
Cassandra. I turned a photograph into a link, a photograph of a partially nude girl, not of a painting but an actual girl. I'm sorry you don't agree with that.

I tried doing that once, making every minute count. It gave me a headache.

It has been showed in the TV news and in the serious newspapers too.
IMAGE REMOVED.

Don't worry Tre. I can understand it. Besides, people shouldn't be caught on forums at work, no matter if there's nudity or not.
I did not worried about the link.
Banning Cass' and removing paintings, I didn't like it.
I can understand COF might have been pissed of by Floop yesterday and Monsieur today and overreacted.

This may be true at your job but not at mine. I am assigned tasks and it is assumed I will get them done. Once the jobs in my queue are done or pending, my bosses trust that I've got things under control and I am not expected to "look busy." |

About the children, it's the parents responsabilities.
Um, not really. If an 'offensive' picture came up unexpectedly, there's nothing I could do about it. If my children saw it, I'd be hacked off. I can't be responsible for other peoples actions, I can only do my best for the sake of my children.
Seriously though, I do have issues with censorship, but this seems fairly reasonable and a decent compromise.
Just to clarify though, the chat guidelines specify no nude pictures. That's kind of woolly as 'nude' to me indicates full frontal, not just breasts. Maybe they need to be updated.
That which does not kill me postpones the inevitable.

who? me? I'm just saying that you can't hold me responsible for another forum members actions, which you seemed to want to do. I was talking about a hypothetical offensive picture, not the picture involved in the dispute.

haha, I never said that either. I think that within the forum rules the picture had to go.
