Speaking as a denizen of his sig, as well as one of the subjects of his
"art," I respectfully disagree.

I think that making an issue of butts' petty little vengence just feeds
his glee at the repeated failures to shut him down. Fighting a genuine
ethical violation--the intellectual property theft--is a valid endeavor,
and I would suggest that soliciting donations on behalf of the victims
of that theft so that they can take him to court is the way to go. But
the incessant *****ing and whining about "porn, porn, porn" removes the
focus from where it truly belongs. I suspect, too, that it has probably
put you in more than a few killfiles, because it's boring.

It's as I said before, the 'net is full of porn, and the potential for
children to be exposed to far worse than what is on butts' pages is
limitless. "Porn" is not the issue, Lethyos, even if it is a personal
issue for you.

Fight him where it hurts. Him, not you.

Some are tempted to think of life in cyberspace as insignificant,
as escape or meaningless diversion. It is not. Our experiences there
are serious play. We belittle them at our risk. Sherry Turkle
