1/ Caleb and LS, SPOT ON! Chill everyone! All I did was show attraction for my gf and if the photo album thread WAS NOT LOCKED I would have just posted it there. Sarcasm is the best way to get through the myopic.

2/ Larry, my bad. I didn't imply any serious grudges against you. Although I was held back from a serious flame post. I guess u and and MagiK have some Christian views that you seem to put across too strongly. But nothing I should complain about, part of life. [img]smile.gif[/img] Keep it up, but you should know better when it comes to these things.

3/ Reeka, you are right. Now that I think about it, I have been too public about my feelings for my love. I guess I am wrong about this place, it isn't the understanding IW i am used to. Eternity is 18 and she is underaged for what exactly???

4/ Yorick, you are not WITH this argument. Some people are only ridiculing Larry, NOT because of a different moral code, but he catogorized us as "lower moral minded" and not adult.

5/ Sir. Kenyth, i agree, yes part of life is saying what people want to hear. Otherwise why did I post this thread here? Some of you need inter-person skills.

Thanks, LS. I thought I was right on that one. I guess everything is read at your own risk.

I think this brings up a good question though. We know that IW is "family oriented." Does this apply to Stealthy's Site as well? Just something that I was thinking about.

Avy, I think you misunderstood what I meant. I have no problem with you making your feelings public. It is just that when one does what it invites public comments on the same. IW is a very understanding place, I think. I certainly meant no offense in my comment but was merely stating the obvious I thought.

I stand corrected that Eternity is 18 (I'm sorry I thought she was 17). what I was referring to was Larry's problem with her perhaps being underage in this country (turns out she is not). I was also trying to point out that there were of course cultural differences among the members of the boards and in fact, legal differences as well in such matters as to who is legally a minor or not.

I certainly did not mean to offend anyone, merely trying to point out how these disagreements can occur among reasonable people.

I really don't understand what you mean with this age thingy???????!

I mean she is 18 and I am 19. I took a photo of her wearing a long skirt and a black corset? Even if she was 15 and I was 16 would I be arrested?

Absolutely...couldn't agree more, Grojlach.

People, if you enter a thread and don't like what you see there, here's a three-step exercise for you:


1) You grab hold of your mouse with your index finger over the left-click button,
2) You move the mouse so the pointer is above the "Back" button on your browser's toolbar,
3) and you CLICK it!!


because THAT'S what it's there for!!

Why, in the name of all that's holy, do people feel compelled to make rude editorial comments in someone's thread? If you know it's something that's going to irritate you, then why enter it? I'd hate to think a lot of people are acting like trolls here...because if you enter a thread with the sole reason of posting a negative comment, that's in effect what you are doing.

As far as SPAM goes, that is up for Ziroc and us moderators (Memnoch, Mouse, and I) to decide...it's a judgement call. We can field suggestions from others (hopefully by PM) but the decision ultimately rests with us.

Now everyone please settle down. I'd like to think everyone here is big enough to be able to work this out on their own.

I was referring to Larry's comment about someone's "underage daughter" is all. You wouldn't be arrested here, there or anywhere that I know of for that matter about the pictures. I was merely trying to point out that "underage" is different in different places and therefore, subject to cultural differences.

What could you be arrested for in the US? Well, if she were 17 and you were 18 and you had sex with her, even with her consent, you could be arrested. PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM SPEAKING HYPOTHETICALLY HERE AND NOT IMPLYING ANYTHING ABOUT AVATAR AND ETERNITY. Just wanted to make that clear.

My point has to do with TACT. If you were unhappy about this post, then perhaps the more appropriate thing to do would have been to PM or email Larry, especially when things like people's moderator authority, personal feelings, etc. are involved - rather than questioning his commitment to his morals in public.

Nobody's stopping you from posting your opinion, Mario - but there's an appropriate time, place and method to do it, given the circumstances. [img]smile.gif[/img]

And while we're on the subject of TACT, I'm sure Larry knows not to make a grand proclamation like this next time someone posts photos up. I'm sure he will also be a bit more discreet about the types of derisions. This will minimize the potential for misunderstandings and inadvertent hurt feelings (on all sides) such as this - which has been another big brouhaha about nothing, really.
[/QUOTE]Very funny.

I have PMd you about this, let's continue this discussion in PM.
