Seems more like there is a more of a minority of uber right
wingers trying to batten down art that offends their sensibility. The
actual project members seem to be more or less taking the sensible
approach, in that this is a mountain being made out of a small
molehill.
And if you have done the legal homework to prove that the
package is illegal, please do presernt it. In the meanwhile, I'll
continue to trust my gut that it is innocent, until proven guilty.
