Not so sure that De Sade actually supported what he wrote about. By the time you get to the one about Justine's sister, its all political satire. But +1 for the idealized De Sade's standards, lol.

And that's why I have a serious problem with PayPal's behavior. I'm fairly confident that what they find obscene is different from what I find obscene, but they force me to follow their definition, and justify it by saying that my definition is wrong or at least less right and less valid, than theirs.
Its not even PayPal's, though. Its the banks that PayPal works with who have imposed that standard.
