Interesting - in lieu of finding a better location, I eventually posted it on the main LJ Support a few minutes ago, but it's been marked as private. I'm not sure whether they have software to automatically filter out certain words, or if some poor soul is sitting there sifting through all the complaints pouring in :/

It occurs to that, with respect to the FAQ writers, who I understand have a difficult job, this whole argument/flamewar/bad feeling (whatever you want to call it) has been caused by the lack of clarity in the FAQs. As the FAQ leaves "nudity" undefined, it means that people who don't see breastfeeding as nudity have got upset by the idea that livejournal believes that breastfeeding is unacceptable.

I remember when J. was involved with lj abuse that she said something about the livejournal rules sometimes being deliberately vague, to allow flexibility. But it seems that having this rule open for different interpretations is what's caused the ill-feeling. Once someone has already become upset and angry, it becomes difficult to make a rational point to them. And it seems harder still if the rule is open for interpretation.

Amused at sinboy's userpic - of course, being black & white, arty, and covering most of the potentially-obscene parts, it is presumably okay. But we shouldn't have to guess.
