I just now noticed a reply I know I posted in the "Buy or sell" thread disappeared...odd.

Retaliation.

As I said, surgeries are shown on TV. Naked babies are not obscene. Similar photos of infant circumcisions are shown in magazines like Men's Health, magazines that are available in supermarkets, doctor's offices, etc.

If I'm going to be banned for posting something that society doesn't consider obscene, revise your Rules to state that mods will ban people for posting any photo if they feel like it.

Are you defining babies as pornographic? That's a new one.

Take some damn context clues dude.
Posting pics of graphically bloody messed up smurf in general aint cool here.
I dont recall any antichoicers doing that here even tho passions run pretty high on that issue too.
In my life I am dedicating a fair amount of meat world effort towards animal welfare and educating people about getting thier pets spayed and neutered and while I feel pretty strongly about that I am not going to be posting any pics of piles of dead puppies with their eyes blown out from being killed in decompression chambers rotting in a dumpster behind some shelter.
Frankly I don’t think any reasonable adult should even have to ask what is appropriate here if they have hung around here anytime at all.
I know I for one am getting sick of your shrill, petulant "I'm all Oppressed!! ++" .
Grow up and get a God damned grip.
Heck I have gotten out of hand here a few times and had some PMs about it on occasion but I am mature enough to realize that at times I do take things too far and I dont get all whiney and pathetic about it.
Your whole approach to debate is just so counter productive. Most of the time I usually agree with you on the basic issues you post about but you are so damn irritating with your posture that it makes me feel like arguing with you about stuff.
Your attitude makes agreeing with you an unattractive proposition.

Shows like that are usually prefaced with rating warnings. We don't have the luxury of those. You can get pictures of adult nudity in all the avenues you mention, too.

I'd quite happy to add your clause to the rules, though

I think he muttered something antisemitic too....

There's Jews around here?? 

I agree with Pariah.

Dammit.

But yes, even when I'm 100% agreeing with XYZ, things just seem to go haywire in some bizarre manner that I wind up arguing or attacking his posture on a our shared position. It's annoying and I don't know how he does it.

Posting the picture polarized me, on here, from wanting to argue the point alongside him, to arguing head on against him.

A wonderful exercise in the power of the medium you choose.

Jesus H Murphy, I'm agreeing with both of you.
Excuse me while I go purge.

Everyone knows you have a hard-on for me and troll me constantly. I'm not going to read your nonsense.

So in other words, you're too scared to address it.

MysticCow! Stop trolling XYZ!
XYZ! Shut up and kiss MysticCow!

:margemax:

Look, I'm a pretty patient guy, but I'm sick of this.  XYZ consistantly violates the DBAJ rule.  Please tell me he's got a time out or something coming.  I feel like he's getting away with it cause he's vocal enough to object.

BTW, BAD OATIE!!!  You closed the old topic before Duke and I could set up our date.
