I think you're missing the point (as well as being absurd). "Are there... forums
...  where artists may post their work without any fear of irrational
opposition?" - Uh, well, yes, a few.. ;)

Speaking personally, I would have no objection to viewing images with extreme
sexual content (whether I want to view them is a different matter, but I
certainly don't object). However, these newsgroups are one of the places on the
internet where respect for other's opinions and standards is an implicit
responsibility of those using the groups. IMBJR not only refused to recognise
this, but deliberately, IMHO, subverted this understanding.

I am glad that there are many places on the internet where people may post w/o
restraint or consideration, but I'm also glad that there are places where one
may not. To demand that all public forums work w/o restraint is, IMHO, a more
serious act of suppression the banning of one arrogant troll.
