Forum rules
Like the original Silk Road, we also prohibit the sale of “anything whose purpose is to harm or defraud.” This includes child pornography, stolen credit cards, assassinations and weapons of mass destruction. Unlike the original Silk Road we will also have to delete posts advertising things that are illegal in most jurisdictions. This isn't because we don't support your right to engage in these peaceful transactions, but because violent people we have never met, calling themselves the state, would likely use violence against us if we were to allow those things.

If you post an offering in this forum, and are using an ID that previously was in use on BitcoinTalk, you MUST digitally sign a message on both venues verifying your identity as being the same.

If you are unable, or unwilling to do this, you may still use this forum, but you must choose a unique user name.

Please post your verification in the-suggestion-box/signed-message-verif ... =signature.

No, you absolutely cannot sell child pornography here but the t-shirt you wish to sell is certainly permitted within the rules of an open and free marketplace which exists in line with the Non Aggression Principle, and also legally speaking in line with the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which our servers are based.

You're also completely misinterpreting / intentionally misrepresenting Vitalik's statement in your thread topic to read as though he supports child pornography; to any mind with even a mild degree of intelligence, however, it is clear that he was making a statement (from a somewhat naive standpoint given the nature of the trolls that he should have known would twist it) that simple possession of something does not impose a risk on others whereas acting something out (though heroin use was perhaps a poor choice to have standing opposite child pornography) does impose a risk on others.

To use a very simple analogy and remove the abhorrent topic of child pornography: "Actively swinging a pick-axe around in a crowded place imposes risks on others; simple possession of a gun in a safe in one's home does not."

I'm not going to feed your troll-like behaviour by responding to any further posts you make, but I feel it's important to provide an analogy for Vitalik's statement which you have presented entirely out of context so as immature people such as yourself can try to understand the point he was attempting to get across.
