Disconcerting Comments - Am I Overreacting?

03/09/2006 10:44:27 AM · #51

Okay, can someone set me straight? Someone's complaining about a lude comment about an image of her sister (oh, I mean herself) coming from what appears to be a dog who lives in the same house with the photographer and model - unless the model is really someone else - in the notes of the photo, the photographer thanks a model by another name than the OP. I am VERY confused.

Apparently, the photo was taken by the OP's husband of her (not her sister).
(For the record, I'm going with husband's alter-ego in the bedroom with the keyboard as previously suggested. And, fotoman, there is no butler in the game of Clue.)

Is it just me or does this place reek of fish? Something very weird is going on.

So, the three likeliest possibilities are:

1. Hubby created a ghost account so he could titillate his wife...
2. Manic35 created a ghost account so she could make hubby jealous...
3. They are both in it together and pulling our legs...

Outlier possibilities:

4. Friend of Manic35 and/or hubby did it all at a dinner party last night when they thought s/he was using the loo...
5. The dog is even more special than Karma the Wonderdog...

Anyone want to make book on these?

something isn't right. What I found so funny, and no one has mentioned, is the op starts the thread with "I have received a comment" not "a picture taken by my husband of me". It's as if it was indeed taken by the op. It wasn't until later that she said the picture was herself. At first it was her sister. Not only is there a strange man in the house, there's a mystery woman also.

Okay, now it may be my turn to overreact, but I'm not at all amused by this thread and hope that the Site Council is investigating the actions of the three accounts involved. I think the photography produced by the "husband" and "wife" in this case is really outstanding, but everything the OP said in the original message has turned out to be untrue, which is very dubious since the topic is quite serious.

I hope the people involved in all of this come clean about what's really going on here. If this is a joke, it's not funny.

Okay, so I am not reading it wrong. I thought the same thing. That's what confused me so much. She said she had a comment, but the photo is by GIS_boy who specifically thanks Deirdra " Thanks to Deidre who let me photograph her, sorry it took 2 hours!!!!. The OP's name is Nichole!

hmmm.....

and as someone mentioned, Matt said he was photographing Deidre (usually spelled Deirdre, someone making up the name might misspell it), Nicole said he was photographing her sister, then she said he was photographing Nicole. Marc voted a 10 for Nicole in the Comfort Challenge...

Deidre is accepted and common too.

I think this is just a simple case of a wife taking a step out of her comfort zone, and a husband trying to maybe encourage her on a little, without it coming from her husband. Maybe she was trying to keep the knowledge that the photo was of her because she wasn't so comfortable with everyone knowing it was her. And do you honestly think one 10 vote is going to make that much difference out of 100+ votes?

I think maybe we should just lighten up on the whole "conspiracy" theory here and give the lady a break.

Just my two cents though.

Now I'm not saying that there aren't any duplicates account out there and that things of that nature don't happen. I'm just saying that I don't think that was the case here. I think we just need to keep in mind that this is a site about having some fun, learning some stuff and challenging ourselves. Afterall, they are just "Virtual" ribbons we are competing for people.

So in conclusion, I too will vote for Mr. Hyde in the bedroom with the keyboard. :-)

You're not helping my conspiracy theory!!

Actually, I still see an innocent explanation for this.

A) Nicole was shy about posing nude for the photo. Therefore, the white lie about her sister, and Matt's white lie about Deidre.

B) Some mischievous relative/friend of the family/dog found out about their participation in the site and created his own account on their computer, just to make a few joshing comments on their pics.

This is like a regular Who-dun-it!!!!!

I think SC will clear this up. At least there hasn't been a lot of voting from cushla - didn't even vote on all of the entries, so the 10's don't count (if they were 10's).

You're right! The vote didn't even count! But a dog might not be smart enough to figure that out...

Hey, she opened herself up. She started the post. No one called her out. I think everyone is just having a good time with this one at this point anyway - don't think things could be lightened up any more:-)
