Poo smearing is yukky and horrible. Poo is smelly and spreads diseases so I don't see anything good about painting it around the place. The proper place for it is to be flushed down the toilet. It really annoys me going to public toilets and finding big skid marks down the side of the bowl or worse still, on the seat. This has even happened at work. It would be far worse if somebody actually decided to paint on the walls with poo.
Most people give up doing poo smearing when they are about two years old. If it is a matter of sensation, letting kids or adults smear brown paint or clay would be better and wouldn't cause diseases.
Most people don't like cleaning up other people's poo and it is a real deal breaker for a child starting school if they still regularly poo their pants. I also remember a massive kerfuffle when I was in grade 1 because somebody had the effrontery to paint poo in the girls toilet (maybe it was a bit more expected in the boys toilets). Rumour had it that it was a little girl in my class who was known to be more than a little disturbed.
I agree that it is a terrible shame if people with LFA were known as poop-smearers and there was no recognition of the talents they have.
