A person’s freedom of learning is part of his freedom of thought, even more basic than his freedom of speech. If we take from someone his right to decide what he will be curious about, we destroy his freedom of thought. We say, in effect, you must think not about what interests you and concerns you, but about what interests and concerns us." – John Holt, Escape from Childhood I thing Ning has just made it clear how they feel about what interests and concerns those of a nature who would dare to read Erosblog... “No human right, except the right to life itself, is more fundamental than this.

Since most people start off small, unless you're srs bsns, your own site seems like overkill. For me, I wouldn't care if it disappeared tomorrow.

And it's pretty difficult to change the rules of a platform you don't own. So paying for your own server seems to be the only way to go for absolute freedom. It shouldn't be that way. No one should feel they must pay to be equal or express themselves. If a service provides a platform free of charge, not allowing 'adult' content is discriminatory. It doesn't seem fair that the "family friendly" person can use a free service, while another person cannot because their content is "objectionable". Once society and advertisers more openly accept adult content, maybe things will be different. What we can do now is protest for reform and work to create more open services. As for blogging, Baywords seems to be going in the right direction, though they're currently not accepting new registrations. Alas, adult related content is shunned by free services.
