The Blender of Love is a forum for Romance-- please don't send

So much for tolerance and artistic freedom. Goodbye Blender.
Artistic freedom? You seem to be confusing your freedom to create with our freedom of what to publish, and focus on.
I threw that clause in there to prevent this place from being a soapbox for any kind of rant, poetic or otherwise. If it's love of God or love of an unborn child or love of family or whatever, I didn't want to feel I had a mandate to keep it on the site.
In practice its been a LONG time since I've removed ANYTHING for being off-topic. Even then it's much more likely for people who are blatantly abusing the board, personal vendettas leaving to message board and/or submitted work spam.
So, sorry you feel the way that you do, but I don't feel your umbrage is particularly warranted.
