I must admit that I fail to understand why it's clownish behavior to post the covers I assume you're talking about in this thread which is about ugly, distasteful and otherwise bad cover art. I acknowledge the NSFW restriction, I know my own boundary (Virgin Killer for instance), but the Blind Faith cover? It's very distasteful, yes, but I surely would identify a prohibition against it as an instance of being way too uptight, and if someone were to post a picture of it, I'd certainly feel that it would be an appropriate addition.

The cover itself is not the reason for me to regard it as clownish behaviour, what is clownish is reason behind the desire to post it. People post that cover for the reaction, not for the image itself.

Ok. We differ on that then.

Isn't that a little too speculative? I mean, guesswork concerning what kind of intention(s) people have while posting a picture, well, does it matter? And why should anyone engage themselves with such kind of speculations when there is no way one can adequately and reasonably be aware of the actual intentions? Surely one can make qualified guesses, but I couldn't care less about intentions behind making a post, I only pay attention to what is actually posted.

Of course. Forum moderation is not an exact science and personally I would not act as a result of anyone posting the image - believe it or not - I don't act on hunches and guess work. As you say, I cannot read minds, however, my personal opinion of why the person posted it and my opinion of that person as a result will forever remain unchanged - they are a clown.

Well okay. I didn't address you as a moderator and I trust that you know what you are doing and I have no reason to believe otherwise.
I disagree (very much) that people posting the covers you spoke about should be considered clowns in any way. |

some people think it is, some people get uptight about pictures of topless pubescent girls and other people will post the cover in order to get a reaction out of those people.

I'm not doubting that for a moment.

I'd like to attach a few notes:
It's the cover of a spectacular Danish left-wing gay-activisme record from 1975, presumeably the very first of its kind in the world. 'Bøsse' means "gay," and 'bøssernes befrielses front' means "the gays' liberation front". The record basically believes that we are born with the same degree of likelihood of turning either hetero- or homosexual. The society is the main problem, it promotes a suppressing hetero-normality and marks homosexuality a deviant disease.
I don't agree that hetero-sexuality exclusively is brought upon by the society, I'm not gay, but I have much sympathy for this record, it's very courageous and the lyrics are very straight-forward in your face accounts of gay-activities as well as attempts at converting the listener: How do you know you aren't gay if you have never tried kissing a man? is a rhetorical question repeated in various alternations in one of the most remarkable songs on the record, How do you know?
But the cover is horrible.
