Well, there isn't any rule forcing you to look at it. If you don't want to, don't. It has no pictures or anything like that in it, it was simply posted to get discussion going. Sort of a "That's disgusting" post, IMO.

Have you actually read the original and subsequent posts? There is certainly no one promoting this group. In fact, every post so far (mine included) have expressed some degree of shock and disgust. Besides, this is the "Rants & Raves" section. Like Lauren said, if you don't want to read it, don't.

where are the moderators?

If this site were one that was not family friendly, with a focus on health and wellness perhaps but BOYlove? C'mon!

I could understand the outrage if that thread was actually endorsing the practice of pedophilia. It's isn't, though. Every single post in the thread is expressing absolute disgust with it. How is that not acceptable?

And again, if you hate the thread and think it is improper, don't look at it. It's really that simple.

Because at some point someone should decide the customers don't want it on the menu. Rocky Mountain Oysters are still Bull's Balls no matter what you call it.

And the customers don't have to order Rocky Mountain Oysters if they don't want to. The restaurant can still serve them to the customers that do.

Well, now that offends me..

The post is sharing a website, it is not condoning a practice, spamming another URL, tricking anyone into blindly following a link, etc. As stated, and as the posts have ensued, it's fair game for RnR. Many topics around sex and deviate practices have taken place here. This really isn't that different.

Here is the Rants and Raves intro.....

LBT Rants and Raves *** Off-Topic DEBATE AREA *** Want debate? Get it here. Gripe, complain, moan, fight, rant and rave. Enter at your own risk!

There is no inappropriate topic for R&R. Just like it says, enter at your own risk. And once you're there, if you don't like something, don't keep clicking on it.

I am disgusted by the whole "boy love" thing, too but I am equally opposed to censorship.

I guess boylove ,a monster penis and busting virgin vagina's and rectums just all go under the same category.

I just need to ignore them .

Ok

edie

Im offended by it as well. And I wonder why someone would want to post something so gross. I agree with you Edie. Im not for censorship but I think in this case it would be appropriate. Gross. Theres just something yucky about the way it was thrown out there.. hmm. Gross.

Here's part of what Wikipedia has to say about Rocky Mountain Oysters.

Rocky Mountain oysters, mountain oysters, prairie oysters, Montana tendergroin or swinging sirloin are culinary names given to boar or bull testicles. They are usually peeled, coated in flour, pepper and salt, sometimes pounded flat, then deep-fried. Boar (hog) "Mountain oysters" or "Rocky Mountain oysters" are served in some Mid-west areas such as in Illinois, and Iowa.

So, this proves that "Rocky Mountain Oysters" are not ONLY Bull's Balls. I like to think of them more as "Swinging Sirloin." It's the "pounded flat" part that gets me, if you see what I mean.

Censorship and protecting children cannot be equated.

I have used the process provided by the website to report the thread as inappropriate.

I assume that the process is there for a reason.

It is not true that "anything goes" or that procedure would not be offered.

Thank you for tolerating my right to express my opinion to the moderators. Just click off if you do not like it.

I see your point, there are a lot of child lap-banders here who need protection. (And I mean that in a jocular, friendly way). And by the way, I fully and completely support your right to ask for censorship.

From wiki:

A childlover is a non-sadistic pedophile or ephebophile, though the term may also encompass people who are not primarily attracted to children, or those whose attraction to children is only romantic. The terms girllover and boylover are used to specifically indicate a childlover's sexual orientation.

So while it could mean someone who is acting on a sexual attraction to a child, in this website's case (as I have gone there and read some of the archives) it appears that the majority of the posts (actually I couldn't find any that discussed having a sexual relationship with a child) are about loving children and just adoring to spend time with children.

Some of the posts are about protecting children.

Do I think it's darned weird? You bet I do! But I did take the time to research it a little more before being offended by the post. I'm not saying that's what everyone should do! Absolutely not! But for me, I wanted to understand just what "boylove" in this context referred to. I think most of us who have watched South Park know about NAMBLA and their strangeness. Am I offended by NAMBLA? Yup, pretty much. But I did want to find out what these guys were about in the context of the thread.

The concept is beyond my ability to grasp, but I guess that's why it's in Rants.
