Thank you Vexis for a truly productive post at this point.
A late-comer to this thread, so I haven't seen any of the pictures in question, but to Babbles:
Your argument was sound, and you gave him a viable "checklist" of what to rule out, but your tone comes across as arrogant, confrontational, and above all, rude. Your quip about someone "worried they'll lose their child pornography" (or something to that effect) was an unnecessary personal attack, and it lost you a lot of support, including my own.
If you want to speak out against something, do so with a calm and logical argument, and try to avoid caps, bold lettering, and flaming.
Really? Nice of you to chime in now with a judgemental tone, quoting me out of context.
If people are defending what is clearly a depiction of a child in a distressing and sexual situation
they are defending child porn, and I damn well had every right to be not only angry about it, since it remained and multiplied,
but about those who were annoyed I was ruining their fun.
Because they were getting off on images of children tied up and tickled in a sexual context, in a fetish forum ----
and some of the more sexual pictures involved the obviously pre-pubescent in large underpants,
with a focus there in particular.
I'm sickened just writing this. And that imagery was scored into my head in more than
bold print.
Like I also said, most of the images were excellent --- too many were clearcut "jail bait".
Those who defended the images I described and were annoyed at the idea there may be SOME censorship -- were again annoyed that I protesting the presence of such images.
Therefore they were asking for the child pornography to remain for their viewing pleasure.
That's not an exaggeration.
And FINALLY, a statement calling out that disturbing tendency was quite "necessary" thank you.
Sorry if I didn't sugarcoat that well enough for you. I doubt law enforcement would have.
And I have also said, here and/or elsewhere,
I use CAPS and bold to either emphasize and/or break up longer posts into more easily digestible segments when the posts are longer....
often whether or not I'm justifiably incensed.
Aside from the fact you overlooked several "calm and logical" responses with did not have "caps,
bold lettering and" what YOU consider "flaming,"
(-- did you even bother looking at the posts on this very page?
No, you ignored them since they weren't convenient, and you wanted to cause trouble...)
if there
ever was a reason to be pissed off it would be with images of CHILD PORNOGRAPHY which are ignored, allowed to remain, added, and
celebrated.
I was more and more upset by the acceptance of child porn here --- that was justified, and yes it needed to be said.
Your comments, out of context, are not.
If you were following your own supposedly lofty advice you'd have sent a PM.
"(Flaming) arrogance" is your coming well after the fact --
without even seeing what I was referring to ---
and having the
audacity to insinuate your interpretation of my writing style
and your support are of utmost importance.
Why not just remove this thread? There is obviously nothing to see here.
That probably would've been a good idea some time ago.
