Gee, thanks.  Being now really new here, I never saw mprep’s rules thread before now.^*  
* And by coincidence, I almost posted a rules question there just a few hours ago!  I decided first to think over the presentation of my question.

WTF, are you John Ashcroft?  Or perhaps are you one of those people who irreparably damaged Renaissance artworks in European churches by effacing artistic displays of genitalia and/or female breasts?  Would you Bowdlerize Shakespeare, too?



Some people wonder why I have become habituated to using my highlighter pen.  I will illustrate here by example:  My point was, of course, that if a painting is hanging in full public view in a major Parisian museum, and is displayed on that museum’s website (try my links!) with no 18+ check or other indicia of so-called “NSFW”, then I am sure it can embedded on this forum.


I even showed the museum itself, for a reason.  Do you suggest that this Very Venerable and Serious Museum publicly, openly displays things that cannot be embedded in posts on the libertarian cypherpunk Bitcoin Forum?


I was not thus trying to educate the masses about art, or museums.  And for the record, I actually dislike Courbet.  What I like worship is the genre of classical and neoclassical nudes that I have posted numerous times in other threads.  For example:


...and many others.


Are you serious?  Do you suppose that I would make a post violating the forum’s rules, and then run to hide the evidence?  —What, are you Timelord now, rattling a sabre with archives?
