 the male dancer

Ballet Alert and DanceArt are two that I belong to. Both are moderated, so most of the stuff you object to here would never be allowed there. All messages are vetted by the messageboard moderators. People actually talk about dance at Ballet Alert and DanceArt. That ought to be the case here, instead of endless questions about dancebelts and bulges and the like. Why not support free uncensored speech here? Ballet Alert and DanceArt adequately serve the purpose of providing a safe PG rated environment for those who want one. The free-for-all environment here allows for a wider discussion. If that means some posts are offensive, well tough. Better to ignore the idiots than restrict everyone's right to say what is on their mind. Remember a few years ago when the ACLU took up the cause of Nazis parading in Skokie, Illinois? The principle was that even though the Nazis' message was disgusting, they have a 1st amendment right to air their point-of-view. Free speech isn't free if it only applies to opinions you agree with.
