Many of the most famous Sure, but are you suggesting that there is some artistic merit or redeeming social value to a nude ascii drawing of Lucy Van Pelt, or an ascii drawing of Bart Simpson being sodomized by his father? >works of art feature both nude men and women. So..ascii art should be no True, but when most of the great masters were doing their work, the nudes had a point to make. There wasn't the constant barrage of it eveywhere until the point of it became entirely lost in gratuitousness. I find it a little hard to swallow that the purpose of nudes in an ascii art group (or any of the alt.binaries groups) is for art's sake. >different,. Those who choses not to see it: DON'T LOOK! Once again, all I tried to say was that it would have been nice to have some place of escape. I suppose too that one should not look at billboards or newspapers that have ads (name one that doesn't), nor should one listen to music or finally, go to the movies, or just about anywhere else. Really, I'm not offended, and I'm not much worried about any moral etc aspects. I'm just tired of it. I just thought it would be nice to have *someplace* in this world where the inundation didn't encroach, and where those who *might* be offended didn't have to continually spend their time on guard. Nothing more than that. Do you really not find it wearing; having to live with it pretty much everywhere you go or everywhere you look?
