I think that any in depth discussion of art is going to have a component of interpretation; especially when images are shown in thumbnail and out of context (there's a familiar PsychoBabble theme). Links to the shows where the images originated from are more likely to include those that may be interpreted as obscene, again, without knowing the context or reasoning of the artist's intentions.

I find art to be so very interesting. Out of context, it can be really hard for me to grasp, not knowing the artist, or the meaning behind the image; particularly not being anything but a layman in my knowledge.

This is a chance, however, to be educated. If someone is offended by the larger context, then I agree a trigger warning is appropriate. Otherwise, I think it's fun and an opportunity to work my grey matter to its limits in unfamiliar directions. Also, if someone IS offended by anything about the links or art, I would advise to avoid the thread. This is what I have learned. If you are triggered in particular or find the link upsetting, perhaps it's appropriate to report the post.

That's my take, anyway.

I would use the report post button on the screen, and then I would not follow thread until I was satisfied my query had been answered. Whether or not it was in favour of my report (this is not my forum). If I wasn't happy with the answer, I would drop the issue and not read any more of the thread.

I disagree, for the TOS here could lead readers to believe that anything that could be offending is not to be posted because being supportive takes precedence according to Mr. Hsuing and what is not sanctioned is not against the rules and the TOS/FAQ states that posts that show what could be insensitive to the feelings of others is against the rules here by Mr. Hsiung.
If the swastika is allowed to be displayed, for any reason here, then what could be disrespectful to a subset of Jews is by the nature of Mr. Hsiung's TOS conducive to the civic harmony and welfare of this community in Mr. Hsiung's thinking. If that be the case, then could not all topics be allowed to be posted here including the foundation of Judaism as revealed to me? That is not permitted here on the basis that there could be readers that are polytheists, which restrains me from posting the foundation of Judaism as revealed to me according to Mr. Hsiung. To say that the swastika can be displayed here with impunity by the owner/operator of this site, which could be insensitive to Jews, and the foundation of Judaism as revealed to me can not be posted here because it could be insensitive to polytheists, sets up the thinking for a subset of readers that the policy is against the Jew because the swastika is allowed to be posted by the owner, but the foundation of Judaism is not allowed to be posted by me as a Jew here. Any policy that is against the Jews is by definition an anti-Semitic policy, just as a hotel had a policy against the Jews, the hotel could be deemed by a subset of people as to be an anti-Semitic hotel.

Lou, you are entitled to your opinion and I respect that. I have no problems with the images or links that Dr Bob provided. I won't, therefore, participate in any part of this thread that is pursuing that avenue. That is your business, not mine.

I hope you respect my request to be left out of these discussions, as they are of no concern, personally, to me.

Thanks!

Why would I ignore something that isn't allowed to be displayed lets say on the inside of a restaurant? I do feel My appetite which isn't good to begin with would be severely impaired with a picture of a P*nis Tree on the Wall, or the lady holding the two headed P*nis. How will this help me to understand art. As personally I don't consider this art. Seeing the picture of the Swastika reminds me of the owners of a diner in the City I'm from that survived a concentration camp. I will never forget the tattoo number on both the wife and husband's arm. Also brings back to me the Movie Sophies Choice. A Choice that no human being should ever have to make. Do I keep my Son or Daughter and sacrifice the other. So many ran out of the Theater in tears. I will never for get this. So if one is of the Jewish Faith and a family member was killed in a concentration camp. It could very rationally cause severe emotional damage to them. How horrible it all was. Phillipa

Are all the pictures from the same artist. I did not stay on this link long enough to read it. If not. Wouldn't it be better to just post a link to the artist the question was about. As that picture didn't resemble most of the other in the link. Phillipa

Mr. Hsiung,
You wrote, [...My policy is not to delete posts...].
Phillipa did not ask you to delete your post displaying the swastika and nudity. What she was asking for is for you to delete the link in the post with the picture of the swastika and the nudity. The difference is important to this discussion. Reasonable readers could think that what you are doing is to evade Phillipa's request to you. There is a rational basis for that thinking because you have changed what she said to you and that the past practice has been for you to delete links to anti-Semitic content and other offending content by using "xxxx" to replace a link.
I have the following concerns and if you could post answers to the following, then I could have the opportunity to respond accordingly.
True or False:
A. Phillipa deserves the respect of others here so that I will apologize to her for not answering her request to me by saying that I thought she said what she did not.
B. Phillipa's request to me has merit and I will follow my past practice and replace the URL of the link with "xxxx"
C. Lou, you are trying to protect Phillip's mental-health and the mission of the forum is for support of that. But it will be good for me and this community as a whole in my thinking, to not delete the link, so that replaces what could be a sound mental-health action by me here to delete the link.
Fill in if you are taking the position that you will not replace the link with "xxxx" and will be good for you and/or this community as a whole according to your thinking to leave it to stand:
D. Lou, the reason that it will be good for me and this community as a whole for me to leave the link to allow the swastika to be seen and the nudity, is because_______________________________

JUST A FYI Don't know if you are aware of artist's copy-rite laws, but here is a link with that information. You have to have permission from an artist to use their work in any way on your site. If you right clicked and saved their work, manipulated the image and redistributed it on your site without permission, it may be against the law. http://emptyeasel.com/2011/01/11/how-to-fight-online-copyright-infringement/

Mr. Hsiung,
I am requesting that you attend to my concern here about that you have posted a link depicting the swastika. You say that you will not delete the post, but you also say that you take responsibility for what you post here.
Then for you saying that, I am requesting that you open the post and type right in the text something like:
Operator's note:
I was the one that posted the link with the swastika. It is my policy that anything in a link is directly to the text and is not immune to sanction as it could be considered to be quoting someone else which is against my policy. The swastika posted could be a hate crime as defined by the Obama administration if posted on , let's say, a Jewish person's door, like burning a cross on a black person's lawn. I know that the swastika could not be sensitive to the feelings of some others and I want you to believe me when I say that if I had proofed the link, I would have done something different. I want you to know that I do not endorse what the Swastika could stand for.

Mr. Hsiung,
As long as you allow the swastika to be presented here as being posted by you, there could be more people that could be led to believe that you and any deputy of record are validating the hate that it represents to Jews. And time after time, I have given you the time to post what could mean that you reject what the swastika stands for. So I have another request. Not like the one that you have not responded to here above, but a new request. I would like for you to post something like this:
Operator's note:
Be advised that I do what in my thinking will be good for this community as a whole. And I have a vision that in the future, a picture of the swastika will be put on each board where I put my pictures, for it will be good for me and the community as a whole for me to do so because I vision a community where Jews are repulsed and not welcome.
And if anyone does not like that, they can go elsewhere where Jews are respected and the swastika would be deleted if posted by the owner/operator.

Mr. Hsiung,
You wrote,[...My policy is not to delete posts...].
But you do delete posts. This brings up what criteria that you use to delete the posts that you have deleted. Your overriding criteria in your TOS is that whatever you do or do not do is because it will be good in your vision in the future for the community as a whole. And you want readers to trust you at that.
I find that you then could discriminate in which posts you delete, all the time in your mind justifying that by saying that in the future what you did will make the community gooder. But what if the deletion or the refusal to delete causes harm to someone? Would that not be a gooder criteria to use than to use your vision that by deleting or not deleting a gooder community will result? Your posting of the swastika here is in question. You refuse to delete it but you do delete other posts. The harm that could come to Jews by readers seeing that you will not delete the swastika could arouse anti-Semitic feelings and Jews could be harmed. You do not use that as a criteria to delete? But you will use the criteria od leaving the swastika because you have some vision that by you doing that the community will be gooder? How would anyone make a determination if by you posting the swastika the community will be gooder? Is that not an arbitrary decision to make, or even capricious or a discriminatory one? If not, then you have some type of justification for it? If so, what is that?

Friends,
Be not deceived. Mr. Hsiung says that he has a policy that he does not delete posts. But he does delete posts.
What this means is that Jews could be harmed by seeing that Mr. Hsiung refuses to delete the swastika that he posted. They could think that it will be gooder here to do so and think that Mr. Hsiung is validating the hate by refusing to delete the swastika because it then could be seen as being supportive where it is original posted.
His policy is against the Jew, for he will delete posts of other natures that could cause harm. By his self-made policy that he thinks allows him to leave anti-Semitic hate to be seen as civil by him because if he deleted it, it would be against his policy, is simply not true for he does delete posts.
Here is one post that speaks to this out of many that shows that his policy, using that if something is against the Jew it is anti-Semitic, to be anti-Semitic because it is against the Jew as he leaves the swastika un repudiated where it is original posted so readers could think that it will be good for his community as a whole so he thinks. This turns my stomach.

Friends,
Let us reason together. Who has believed my report? Is it not clear to you what is plainly visible?
Now Mr. Hsiung says that he will not delete the swastika that he posted. He claims that he does not delete posts as his policy. You have seen just a couple of examples to show that there are deletions by him. That is even worser now. Because now that you see what is plainly visible, for Mr. Hsiung to have it both ways, he would have to present some type of reasoning to justify him saying that he does not delete the swastika that he posted because he has a policy that he does not delete, but he does delete. In:
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/admin/20131217/msgs/1060220.html
we have another aspect of this. Let us think about that awhile....
Lou
