Very well.  I certainly didn't mean for it to be so divisive.  Let's
lay it to rest.  Suffice it to say that there's at least some dissent
when it comes to the display of adult material.  I suspect some people
just don't feel comfortable bringing this up.

Jeffrey, thanks for your thoughtful response.  The posters have been
an issue for me for a while, but it's only the recent thread about
kids in NB that made my thoughts on this take full form.  I was
introduced to hacking as a kid by a mentor I'm eternally thankful to,
and I'd like to do the same for a child I serve as a role model to.
I'm not comfortable exposing her to adult material though.  I
personally don't care about profanity, and she's exposed to plenty of
that, but neither I nor her mother want her exposed to adult material
of a sexual nature.

Your second point really gets to the heart of what I'm talking about
-- whose rights reign supreme?  Yes, I'd prefer to restrict those
who'd bring adult material into the space.  That does indeed infringe
upon their rights.  However, they're free to enjoy adult material at
the Power Exchange or the Porn Palace or wherever such things are
entirely appropriate.
