Very interesting comment, Greg. Given the history of cave drawing, marble
sculpture, painting on canvas, the printing press, photography, video tape,
the Internet, and every other communication medium known to man and woman,
there is no question that the popular advent of fabbers will come along with
applications in pornography, both legal and illegal. In ten or 15 years,
we'll probably have prosecutors across the country arresting high school
kids for 3D sexting. (Don't trust the timing of my predictions; they've been
dreadfully off before.)

Brock,
Please explain to me how something can effectively be "banned" on the RPLM?
This incident has me wondering how long it will be before pornography
(perhaps this is the equivalent?) shows up here. IMHO it would not improve
the RPML or reflect well on the AM industry in general if a significant
number of us condone it.
Best Regards

I am guessing the 3-D "scan" of the Nigerian Bomber's head is no more than a
caricature, as other bobble head caricatures have been. Over the years, such
offers have been more or less offensive to one person or another on the
list, no doubt, but at least they have been on topic, in terms of the
ability to make a copy on the types of machines the RP-ML discusses. If you
want to ban this one, you need to go back and ban all of the other ones.
As for being a waste of my time, it is less so than all of the phony
Nigerian e-mails I get asking me to act as an agent in a
multi-million-dollar scheme to launder money, which e-mail has made
annoyingly easier to send than 30 years ago, when they arrived in the
regular mail. Perhaps I have just developed a thick skin that allows these
things to bounce off.

Marshall,
With all due respect, I disagree with you. As it appears to me now,
Sebastien's "complaint" is far more appropriate than the hawking of
tasteless and offensive wares.
Although Sebastien may be a little naive about how the RPML (are we going
to have to change the name to AMML?) functions in situations like this, I
feel he acted in a reasonable and responsible manner. He went so far as to
offer suggestions for alternative and more appropriate venues.

This complaint is inappropriate. Other people have used this list
to offer
STL files to the members. People even occasionally put up commercial
notices, such as for conferences, offering machines for sale, etc.
All of
that is appropriate. I do wonder about the tastefulness of
offering an STL
file of a man facing criminal charges, but such questions of taste
should
not incur censorship here.

Moderators, could you deal with this?
Jack, could you get your own soapbox, or dare I suggest, _pay_ to
put up
some online ads? Blogs are cheap. This list's time is not.
