To suggest that somebody got "slapped" in the face is an absurd remark and completely unfounded. The only question that was asked was in relation to the appropriatness of posting what are clearly private photo's. Your over zealous, deflamtory remarks provide absolutley no value to this discussion and are best kept to yourself. What is also quite clear is that it is not acceptable on this board to stand up and question accepted conventions without fear of rebuke.
It would be a slap in the face if these pictures were removed for the sake of one person’s opinion that they are not appropriate. Do you actually know what ‘inappropriate’ means? Maybe you’re not on my wavelength, but there’s nothing ‘inappropriate’ about the pictures that have been posted in this thread.
There might be question surrounding how they came into the public domain, a link is shared, pictures are reposted, other people see and share them, and there you are… you’ve lost your copyright. Whether right or wrong, that’s the harsh reality of it. I would suggest if you really wanted to keep your pictures private, you wouldn’t upload and share them on the internet in the first place.
I take it you came to your decision that the pictures were not appropriate after you saw the first one or two, and therefore putting into practice what you preach, you would not have therefore continued to view the rest of the pictures?
I wish I could care for you not caring for my remarks, but to be honest with you I’m in the same boat as you on that one.
