Fugh, I'm sorry for voicing my concerns openly - I do belive that moderating a multi-national, history and art oriented forum does require a lot of restrictions to be imposed on the participants, but when it comes to gore:
I was moved by many gore images posted here, but at the same time I have to ask a question:
currently I sponsor (translation - offer a small prize money) a search for photographs of certain georgian semi-pagan warriors, famous for wearing armor that had human heads and other body parts attached to it (symbolizing how many victories the warrior had). The project received outstanding and enthusiastic support from modern descendants of these tribes (who obviously don't find this practise to be brutal or unusual), and I truly hope to eventually receive photographs of these warriors.
Could they be posted here ? Could they be discussed here ?
I do belive in the restrictions or it's better to say - fair warnings when it comes to gore, but was not 99% of weapon's history - blood, gore and death ?
