Simon

Yes, I just read that
Sorry mommy and everyone else for having to put up with those silly comments. If anyone involved would like the posts removed, please let me know.

I have thought all day about this Simon, and it is ok. I put up with it in "normal" life too:)
I am glad I had so many to come to my rescue. Thanx guys! But since you(Simon)put my pic up there for me I wanted to ask you to remove. But after thinking about this I really need the pic to scroll down to my last post. Hee hee I only have limited time on web:)
BTW I have seen FAR worse remarks than that on this forum. My 75lb armor doesn't let it go too deep. So I will stay as I am.

mommy,
I think you made a good decision. We are harmed the most when we are forced to modify our behaviour. That's why I intentionally made myself a large target. I don't think he really meant to hurt you or seven. If he is mad at the responses some of us made maybe he'll just direct his anger at me.

OK, does anyone remember the Twiglight Zone about a boy named Anthony, this boy held hostage people in his home, and whenever someone thought a " bad thought" he would wish them into oblivion. well these people were so scared they forced themselves to only think "happy thoughts" so they wouldnt perish. Reminds me of wol forum. Does anypone remember that episode?

Claudia,
That one gave me nightmares for years.

Mommy, I dont blame you for wanting your pic off, two people actually recognized me. But I was never baptised, thank god.

well, duh......

Where are the offensive posts? I may be the dissenting viewpoint, which isn't that uncommon, btw, but I don't think the women should post particularily pretty pictures of themselves.

Before I'm called whatever, my reasoning is as follows: 1. Some will not take you seriously because they are men or they are women. Remember Patricia? She zeroed in on Seven - imho, partly because she could actually identify with a person - and a pretty one at that. An enemy she could visualize.

We've had several real male idiots on our forum and Seven was the only one with a picure up then. They zeroed in their crudity to her. If no picture - no overt attack would have happened, imo.

If a person is strong enough to handle the attack, and for some reason, feel the need or reason to have a picture up in spite of the ignorant people who attack, so be it.

I, personally, think a flower would be better. Strange people think strange things with pictures they can identify with. I don't feel that persons need to feed the fantasies or hatreds of others at their own private expense.

And, no - I'm not jealous. Just don't like cheap shots at nice people.

waiting,
I understand your concerns. I was very close to a woman who was extremely attractive, and was not happy about it. Every where we went, men would stare at her. She dressed very conservatively. It didn't matter. At first I wanted to fight everyone I saw behaving as a jackass. Eventually I just found it annoying.
I stick with my advice to mommy. At some point, the good people have to take a stand and not be subdued by the unenlightened. Pictures here on this db allow us to get to know each better, more like we are here in person. I thought a long time before exposing myself, but chose to do it because I liked what I saw here. I don't want to retreat. I don't want mommy to retreat either.

Waiting,
I waited a WHOLE day before I even acknowledged whatshisname but I don't need that to reply to you!
I am NOT in control of my looks, yes some may find them pleasing as I said before, I deal with stupidity ALOT!
As I said before I think it is better to see a face as it personalizes a post.
If you don't find it offensive for a grown man wanting to go back to breast milk.....What part of SC are you from? I have heard of the strange parts, but assumed you were not from there!
I am sorry if I am being crass, but this has been a really hard day for me. Then I come on and hear a woman, the mother of a RAPE victim basically condemn me for being pretty, and in no subtle terms say I was asking for it!
Waiting please tell me I am misreading your post, because I am sick to my stomach after I read it!
