Who is on a fence?  I thought my last statement was clear:

    "We do not approve of gawkers or those who want 
    to exploit what we regard as entirely natural."

I quite agree with your assertation that the law of the excluded middle
still holds:

> Either people have a right to do what they want with thier bodies 
> (including nude olympics, nude bathing, and posing for magazines) or 
> they *don't* because they might offend someone.

Although I did not say anything about being offended.  The trouble is that
there is more to consider than a "either I can do it or I can't" attitude
will permit.  I was objecting to what I see as exploitive and degrading, not
to someone posing in the nude.  In my judgement, there is a difference in
kind between an art class and "swank" magazine.

> Get serious.  I presume that you have never posed in the nude, but I used
> to pose for classes of art students a lot.

You presume incorrectly.
