Bigot no.  Self-righteous control freak yes.

Why is the IRTC absolutely necessary to your raytracing workshop goal? 
And don't talk to me about access to advise etc. When you are dealing 
with a broad base of beginners you will have questionable success just 
tossing a website at them.  You need to take much more responsibility 
for what you are doing beyond limiting the sort of images that might be 
encountered.

And I guess you would know what "porn" is.



n.

    1. Sexually explicit pictures, writing, or other material whose 
primary purpose is to cause sexual arousal.

So you get aroused by poser models?  And I thought I was a perv!  What 
about storefront manikans?  Are they a dirty thrill for you?

So are you 'annoyed' at references to genitalia, or are you trying to 
teach raytracing in a school setting?  I am confused and I suspect you 
maybe too.  I see this as nothing more than an transparent attempt to 
manipulate the situation as much as you possibly can by pandering to the 
stated intentions of the server owner.  You have little other intention 
than to promote your own values to the exclusion of others.  Teaching 
'raytracing' in the school setting is certainly an admirable thing and 
turning the IRTC into an elementary school sandbox has a lot to be said 
for it.  But lets call a spade a spade.  I know you for what you are.
