PG Music Home Forums General Discussion User Showcase My Little Man (demo)

In reply to Pat (I double-checked to make sure I'm not confusing him with someone else ):


“Its really a question of censorship on the forum, and which group gets to decide what's not allowed. We've had this discussion several times , and it always ends up that we decide censorship is not what we want...”


Pat, I don't see a post where anyone has called for 'censorship'. Several people commented on the content, language and propriety of the song posted by the OP.

One of Noel's comments was:


“I cannot agree with nor support the views your lyrics express.”


I see no desire to censor, merely a personal statement of opinion. In fact, Noel continues by saying:

“...it has every right to be posted here. ...”

He follows that by saying:

“...Lyrically, I don't think that PG Music's forums are the place for this song.”

Again; opinion. Then, he actually says:

“That's just my view, though. Ultimately, PG Music will make the decision.”

Again; no call for 'censorship'. Only a statement of opinion. I'm not aware of anyone notifying the mods. I know I certainly didn't. I abhor censorship.



“It is another situation in which two groups having opposing and irreconcileable opinions fight for control of the forum.”


I don't see anyone fighting for 'control' of the forum. I don't even see “two groups”; just individuals expressing an opinion on a song that was posted to invite comment and opinion.

“All comments/suggestions appreciated.”

When one posts a song about a 15 year old being seduced by his 32 year old teacher, one should expect controversy. I believe that was the actual intent of the OP.



“The most peaceable response when you don't like a post or a song, is to skip over it.”


Obviously, my responses were the least 'peaceable' of all. Certainly not as peaceable as those who commented on the “grey area” and “relativity” and the definition of “prepubescent”. It is just this sort or moral ambiguity that I find reprehensible, and if someone posts such controversial material, I believe that I have the right, and indeed the responsibility, to comment on it.

I am no 'Puritan', though I do confess to being a gasp....”Christian”; so yes, my views are informed by my belief system. I never have and never will attempt to impose my beliefs on anyone. I could care less what transpires between two consenting adults. I do, however, draw the line at the exploitation of children, whatever the arbitrary age of majority, and reserve my right to comment on it.

Just my opinion; no more valid than anyone else's.
