I didn't mind. You gave proper warning and it was via a link thus no one was forced to see the image in question.
people that dont undertsand pron might click on it however so they didnt have sufficient warning
Nonetheless a warning was provided. An individual - barring certain mitigating circumstances - is not absolved of individual initiative and consequent responsibility. "Freedom under responsibility" as the officers and NCOs used to say to us in the Army.
But that theory would enable it to spread the internet and forums with racist, violent and offending content.
Not having to click the link doesn´t mean it should be forbidden to post it.
Says who? Certain pornography is legal although since this is a privately owned forum they get to make their own rules which is why posting that link did invite a potential ban. I am aware of that, however arguing that posting such links should be banned at all times (if that is what you were laying the ground work for - it may not have been,) then you are infringing upon freedom of expression. You don't have to like nor agree with what someone else is expressing in order to tolerate that person's or group's right to do so. As long as the means of expression do not violate other existing laws (i.e. expressing oneself by blowing up another person's property or beating someone to death, etc. violate this clause).
Freedom and security do not go hand in hand. The more you have of one the less you have of the other. It's a tricky balancing act and since nothing is ever likely to be 100% safe in the physical universe I prefer erroring slightly on the side of freedom and liberty than security. Your priorities may differ of course which is fine - my priorities can tolerate that as long as your priorities do not try and remove my freedom preferring priorities (which is why I consider my priority set superior, if I didn't I probably wouldn't adhere to it).
