That's a fair point. I think calling the pics 'creepy' was a bit mean though. I'd be really hurt if someone said a pic of me trying to look pretty was creepy.

Sorry I missed those posts. Some time, when I'm not at work, I'll move 'em.

well, that's why I didn't say anything at the time, Dana. But for someone who demands tolerance, Ib is pretty goddamn intolerant.

Now, I find myself altering my posts to avoid gendered pronouns, for fucks sake. At what point does enough of the joy get sucked out of this place by all the worrying about who you're going to offend?
