mindseye: Good riddance.
There is certainly a difference between talking (or even fantasizing) about rape and raping itself. Substitute bestiality, incest, eating meat, wearing white shoes after Labor Day, or whatever else offends your taste in the above sentence.
Any armchair lawyer (I've counted four so far) that insists that they know what's legal and what's not legal had better cite credible sources. Mark's actually consulted a lawyer regarding LPSG -- the rest of you are speculating.
And any armchair censor who wishes to curtail the expression of other people's ideas in order to conform to his or her taste -- what hypocrites you are! Surely you can imagine the number of people out there who take offense at the very nature of this board. ("Dey talkin' 'bout their peepees! Get mah gun, Mabel!") You no more deserve to have your way with free speech than they do.
Certainly, I agree that anyone should leave who finds the content of this board offensive. And I'm tolerant enough to begrudge you your parting announcement that you're picking up your toys and going home.
But that's not what's happened here. No one's said, "There's a story in Fictitious Stories that made me toss my cookies, and I can't possibly come back after such an unpleasant experience." No one's said that they've actually been offended.
Instead, what they're saying is, "Mark won't moderate the board in the style of my choosing, so I'm leaving." That's a boycott. And it saddens me that people would boycott a group for censoring too little.
Please do leave if you can't stand the idea that the person who's paid for the site for the past two years gets to call the shots. Take hard-earned money out of your own pocket and start the Large Penis (But Not Bestiality, Incest, or Rape) Support Group. I believe that www.lpbnbiorsg.org is still available.
