It is a real flower ,it is called a Princess Moccasin ,it takes 10 years to flower,hardly worth the wait IMO.
I deleted it cause I thought people were offended. Not because I was trying to get people to look at my profile. It is not my usual type of shot.

Your first reply asks "Where's the photo?" When did you get the idea people were offended? (Are you living in some alternative reality-like time warp?)
Edit: Correction, 2nd post...but the first replier hadn't seen it either. (And I still think you're buckin' for attention.)

It's a beautiful flower. I saw the title and came looking for a rare flower. You silly people who are just looking for some x rated content are uhhh silly!
I am glad you posted it. and reposted it.
I like the flower, but I don't see anything that is x rated about it. |

Man, people sure are on edge today. Is it a full moon?
I can believe he was concerned about people being offended. My first thought when I saw it was "I wonder if he's going to catch *)%$ for that title?"
I'm guessing he thought it would be clever and get people's attention, and then had second thoughts after posting and pulled it. I know I've done things like that plenty of times in my life.

No full moon!
(xrated to some ) more as a warning then to get attention ,I posted the shot ,then did some voteing ,changed my mind about the shot ,then deleted it ,I had a nap came back on line to and saw all of the postings to the thread ,so I reposted it! Now I am just p****ed off!
It was just a funky over sharpened flower shot that could go either way and not my usual type of photography |

Don't be P**&#&d off.
It falls short of stunning, but it is a very nice capture of a very rare and beautiful flower.
I was just in another thread and I saw a quote from Ansel Adams that said "A true photograph need not be described by words, nor can it be contained by them" (or something very similar to that - apologies to Ansel and fans).
Don't worry about the words, neither the ones hastily written by you, nor the silly words written by other people. Heck, one could just as quickly take issue with the semantics of the choice of words in Ansel's statement. That's missing the point.
This is a forum that you intended to use to share a picture with others. Others have shared and enjoyed the Princess Moccasin who otherwise would not have.
I consider myself to be benefited sufficiently.
Let it be about the picture.

Sheesh! Randy, I was defending you, really. Good thing I'm not a lawyer.
I saw the post right after it came up and thought it was a cool looking flower. Wouldn't have made the sexual reference without the title. Didn't make the judgement as to whether it was meant to sensationalize or caution, but I assumed it was meant to get attention in some manner.
No titles were changed. The picture just disappeared, and everyone speculated that it was pulled. When it reappeared the accusations began to appear. I felt this unjustified because they didn't mesh with what I had "witnessed".
Sorry that this whole thing caused you so much aggravation. We live in a sensitive society.
Cheers,
Roxanne

It wasn't because the picture "reappeared" that I said what I said. It was because when Randy posted the picture the second time (which I had not seen in the first place), he said, "I deleted it cause I thought people were offended." I simply failed to see how he could draw this conclusion as there is not one reply to his post that indicated offense--and so I further pointed out that the first few replies actually ask where the picture is. So where's the perceived offense? |

Oh. Well, I guess I can see where you are coming from. However, I'm prone to giving everyone the benefit of the doubt. I guess I just read over it and assumed it was a syntax error. (Is syntax the right word?)
I still believe that he inteded the thread title to be clever and eye-catching and then pulled the image because he was afraid of causing offense (regardless of how he worded it); and feel that you might have been a little harsh on him. His perceived offense may have simply been an after-the-fact bout of objectivity. That's how I saw it.
It seems like it would have been just as easy to ask him to explain himself before putting his head on the chopping block.
Please don't take offense at this KaDi. It's just hard for me so see so much negativity in these threads, and I'm guessing the originator of this one is disappointed to see it end up like this.
