Nor do I expect them to. I'm not demanding that the mods close this thread and stop people from posting any kind of pics they want in it. What I did was post an alternative to the usual in this thread and when questioned about it, I defended my actions. I haven't demanded that anyone stop posting pics, but pointed out when Zaq's pics were unnecessary, and have pointed out sizeism when it appears in the hopes that people might re-think their actions.



Whew, sounds like you need some education. The point of porn is to objectify the people being photographed - mostly women - and to provide visual stimulation to those who like to view porn. If guys here are posting pics of women that they find physically attractive, they're objectifying those women - seeing them as nothing other than body parts and faces. If that's what they want to do, I think it would be better suited to a porn forum. Again, I can't stop people from posting any kind of pics they want, for whatever reason they want to post them. The mods maintain the posting rules here. But I can present an alternative, which is what I did. And I should be able to do it just like anyone else here, without being questioned about what I've posted and why, and without having size hatred thrown in my face.



Your statement that I'm being "an utter arse to a few members" is your opinion. Why should I apologize for your opinion?



I understand your intention behind your statement that I'm "perfectly adequate," Unchained, but it's apparent you didn't think about how those words might be taken. I know you didn't intend to insult, but it is insulting because it plays into the long overused standard that women are here to please and win approval from men, to have everyone like them, etc. That's not what I'm about, as should be clear by now.
