It looks like our little pal Ottava is using his trademark sliminess to try and use emotional blackmail to get his Commons account back.

Makes one want to puke (and not just in the passive sense).

Or, better yet... tongue.gif

But in case anyone is still reading this stuff, Mr. Fred here is pro-porn, while Mr. Ottava is decidedly anti-porn. So, naturally, there is conflict. Unfortunately, Ottava's strident and divisive denunciations of everyone who opposes him have made him persona non grata in most of the venues where Wikipedia issues are discussed, including this one, so his only remaining option is to apologize (however sincerely or insincerely, though I suspect sincerity matters little to the average Commons admin) and hope they take him back.

However silly and petty the whole business ultimately is, they would be wise not to underestimate him. Many of them claim that he can be "easily reblocked," and therefore there would be little harm in what's being suggested. But while that might be true from a purely technical standpoint, from an internal-political standpoint it's simply not the case.

I am neither pro porn or anti porn. What I am anti is low quality photography.

If there are going to be naked people or intimate shots of naked people doing pleasurable things to themselves or others then I believe they should be good quality.

I also don't believe that pictures of naked people (real or otherwise) is necessarily "porn".

I also detest middle America's fear of prurience, hedonism and sex.

Does that make my viewpoint clearer for you?

Have you spent any significant time in middle America? Or are you just confusing your bigoted misinformed mindset with reality?
