You can protect your wall art or door posters from being torn down. Let Hermann Rorschach show the way!
For once I knew what was coming. I started this blog-post last Friday [2 May 2014] because I knew what febrile minds would command undisciplined censors to do. A poster making fun of the Ku Klux Klan no longer adorns the outside of my office door. Sometime, over the weekend, that poster was torn down.
Alas, I am serious. Perhaps someone too dunderheaded to realize that the poster parodied the KKK or too imbued with zeal to leave others to their own views practiced orthopraxy on my door. Maybe someone hoping to foment conflict or induce me to blame proponents of diversity tore it down. "How would I know why should I care?" [The Zombies, "She's Not There"]
Behold the offending image:
Those who dare to put up posters [or, in this instance, to leave up a poster put up by a sabbatical replacement] could make copies, but silly children or unscrupulous adults might tear the new versions down. Wait until most of the pious and pusillanimous have gone home for summer, then risk returning provocations to your doors.
OR ... put up an inkblot!
No poster is safe from the conjuring of outrage or the simulation of sensitivity. The closest to safety we can get is to mount inkblots. True, one must guard against partisans of the Holtzman inkblot. Still, to object to the Rorschach would require learning, so you should be safe from self-righteous vandals and senseless censors.
May I remind the sanctimonious of Haltom's Eighth Law?
