I'm not going to got back and forth publicly-its redundant and ridiculous. Everyone is going to post their thoughts and opinions. But not everyone has to agree with them. That's one of the points of a public forum. Most people would do well to remember the clearly stated site rules and regulations regarding interaction between members and the matter of respect for said thoughts/opinions.

I will address the BSA question though.

Simply put, this site is owned by Hammerfel. His son is a member of the BSA. If someone came across his site and saw something untoward and lodged a sexual complaint, there would be a great deal of aggravation that came down on the site owner, up to and possibly including fines and/or jail time. In turn that would force him to close the site altogether. I suppose that would end all this drama once and for all wouldn't it??

The BSA is geared toward teaching moral and ethical treatment of one's self and through that, everyone else. In layman's terms, using good common sense at all times. Additionally, the military looks to the BSA to work toward new recruits (much the same way they do with HS Marching Bands and the like), to continue to fill the ranks of the military. Guns, explosions and violence are 'the norm' in the military-gratuitous sexual innuendo isn't, at least not publicly.
That's the whole point I'm making. Use some common sense and don't attempt to be asinine just to 'win friends and be cool'. Watching the Joes blow up a Cobra base is a whole lot different than watching the figures bump 'n grind, clothed or otherwise.
And its not about 'seeing things that aren't really there'. Its about knowing the difference between what's right and wrong. Obviously the picture was wrong (and the last in a long line of infractions by the member, according to the Admin staff). As such, the actions determined the outcome. Its no one else's business what transpired between Cory and the staff.
