No need to bring me into this. It's Ghosthunter's story and it's up to him who he puts in it.

This whole thread should be censored at once!!

Really, as long as this sort of thing is in the mature forum there should be no problem, right?
Is talking about big breasts bad because they are shameful?
Or because not everyone has them ?
I'm not nearly as fascinated by breasts as most men. I like smiles a lot.
But not every girl has a great smile. Does that mean I shouldn't be allowed to talk about nice smiles?

The real issue is that some people are uptight about sex. But it is all very subjective.

I say just keep it in the mature section away from the youngsters.

OK, I have read all of the threads in question and talked to GH. Here is viewpoint of all that is going on:

1) The thread in question was moved to the Mature Forum. The point of the guidelines in the case is more to protect minors from images that their parents may not want them to see. Once moved there, this should have been a non-issue.

2) GH cannot extrapolate from what he wants to say to something politically correct. In this case, I may have revised my wording to say "Well Endowed Women". Stan cannot do this while typing. Besides, wording like this should be fine in the Mature Forum.

3) The guidelines are being taken too literally. If we banned anyone who offended anyone (or even warned them), there would be no mods or even WP. Even Alex has offended me at times but I have learned to not take things personally and I think that would be a good idea for all persons to back off and take in the whole context rather than 3 little words. This was meant more for a story and I would hope no one would totally close down a book store over a book that is a little descriptive.

A simple solutions would be this. I have discussed with GH the importance of keeping certain things in the Mature Forum. I will continue to do so. If he keeps stuff like that in the mature forum, the others that may be offended by the wording simply do not read those posts. This is a fair solution to all involved and I would hope that in its simplicity, it solves the problem.

If you want some insight.....I have proven to be a
versatile writer. I write accordingly to the purpose.

I have wrote deep stuff, and that is not be censored,
like NT's would like. It is what is inside me, and as it
should come out.

I have wrote helpful and considerate stuff and helpful
stuff, and that is based on the purpose of the content.
Censor that not.

So.....For those who see me in my many modes, you
then understand, or should that Starship wrongplanet
is meant to be chaotic and sometimes saucy. Thus
armed with the disclaimer and themed thought I say
let my writing style be.

We all write for
paricular purposes and that is based on the individual
not the one and all mighty ruler or want to be ruler.
Wrong Planet is a bunch of people with different thoughts
and feelings.

Besides the writing will have a disclaimer and in the mature
secture.

I am not asking you to join censorship. I am asking
that you remember I write in different modes for
different purposes. I have written good and helpful
things, thought provoking things as well as saucy S.S.W.P
things. Each has a place and purpose.

Don't forget the good I can write, but my writing
styles are varied, so if someone wants supreme control
on who writes what how is that suppose to help individuals
or allow types of expressions. If that is the wrongplanet
you want, then that is your choice.


I am not sexist, I write based on the writings purpose.
It is your choice, but censorship starts from the
small stuff.

I am sorry you see me as sexist, and guess all the
stuff I wrote to try to help you folks was evil too.

Hmmmm? I am not asking you to take sides, but
consider how I write and how it is helpful on some
modes, and saucy in others.

Ok granted I do not post much.... I was not too fond of the reception and I have been unbelieveably busy in my real life. All that said.....as i understand, and as i have read the rules, the purpose of this site is expression. Maybe we should keep that in mind. Someone pissed me off when I first came here. I do not read her posts or any thread she starts. That's my right to do and it's her right to post her thoughts...... As I understand the rules in the mature forum are fairly light. Vetivert if you do not like what gh is posting you do not have to read it. Everyone in there is an adult and able to make that choice, including you.


I want to add that I think every one needs to take a step back and relax. This site is also supposed to be fun.

Thanks. When Ghosthunter started the sswp it was well rounded though it seems it was a bit of a handful for one mod in terms of content and this has turned into a bone of contention but things seem to have calmed down and it appears we have avoided too much hard feelings all round.

I think i have too much time on my hands.

For now I will call it even. I will let the moderators
sort out this situation. I will soon continue my story
without the interference that was presented in this forum.


Sincerely,
Ghosthunter
