This constant filtering from all sources becomes exhausting and tiresome. I personally would prefer that the PDML, and by extension the PUG, does not become a forum for the display of what some would consider sexually explicit images, even if there's a warning/disclaimor.
It's as simple as that. I know that's probably too much to ask and that somone will suggest this a public forum that reflects the disparate views of it's constituents. Which is true. I still would wish that nudity, whether considered art by some or pornography by others, does not become a topic of this list.

More importantly, to the best of my knowledge no one on the forum has ever referenced a nude without indicating that viewer discretion is advised. If you choose of our own free well to view the piece, that certainly doesn't constitute bombardment.
"Can't we have a forum for discussion about photography where we don't bombard each other with sexual images? Is that to much to ask?"
