I like to be not a lemming or sheep!

Thanks everybody. I do feel much better. :-) Sometimes just hearing a little something positive can work wonders.

Sure, we just need your help to do that -- there are far too many posts in the forums for us to be able to read all of them, so we're dependent on people using the Report Post feature to maintain the forums. Going forward, please be sure to report any posts you see which violate that rule, and we'll make the necessary corrections.

Thanks,

Since this is being discussed by an SC member in this thread (which I would assume to be thread-jacking if it was any other thread dedicated to a single topic like this one has or if it was by a non-SC member - not trying to single you out, Terry) I'd like to know what is done when posts are reported for thread-jacking.

When I see people who haven't posted a single self-portrait and haven't commented on any of the images that were thumb'd throughout the thread and then they choose to jump into the thread and stir up trouble because of their children or because of their morality or for whatever reason they want to use I report those posts for thread-jacking but I never receive any response about them.

I can see some point to the original purpose of labeling an image with the "Nude" label but it seems more than convenient that the same members choose to report posts by certain members when they, themselves, haven't contributed either to the thread nor, by way of comment, to any of the images that are central in nature to the thread. What happens to those individuals or their posts?

I want to thank y'all for the positive comments on my shot for today. Bold, powerful, great...those are words I don't hear often with my photos.

Yeah, it was done to back the whole censorship issue on here and to show support to those who are persecuted at times for showing off their bodies. I'm not particularly happy with my body, but then again, who is? Since January, I've lost over 35 pounds and 7 inches around my waist. And my gut was the biggest thing I hated about myself. Now, it's my skinny arms. But, I didn't think about doing this, I just did it as a sign of solidarity and belief that art needs to be unrestricted. If I had thought, it would have never been done.

Also, the comments from y'all have helped me a lot today. Take your worst day multiply it by 50, add 32434 then take that number to the 38th power...and that just about hits how bad it was. I'm not going to get into specifics on it, but believe me, it's bad and unfortunately, this situation is going to be going on for a while. But I'm glad I can get some positive feedback on part of my life here.

And WHAM, just like that, I realized I goofed by not adding your shot to my faves list. So there ya go, Mike. :) And Judi. And Eug. And Shalrath. And Elvis.

I might have an idea similar to Eug's for tomorrow.

Thanks, Jeffrey, but not necessary. Your words were plenty for me.

Has anyone mentioned that this is a pretty darn cool crowd here in this thread?

I'll be honest and say that this whole 30 day SP thing, which is not the easiest to see through, has been some of the most fun I have had on DPC. It is quite fun being oneself whilst hanging out in this particular group.

You peeps rock...

Agree with the people doing this...though I think a few have dropped out! I must admit, it has been fun and I've learnt oodles from it...but I think my ideas are running thin now....I still have 9 days to do and I'm spent. I should of saved my Day 21 for the last day I think! :(

But hell....both -bec- and I have had a ball....though many hours late at night editing!

Edit: fixed my grammar...

Now you can tell your parents that you were right all along and finally found someone to back you up on it.

Agreed! But I wish they were posted here so I could add some to my Fav's like this one! I wanted to do one like it when I saw it, but my feet are much more horrifying than my face and even I have my limits when it comes to shocking people.

AJ - you should at least post thumbs in here with links. You are a great inspiration to me!

Thanks Mike. Although it's too late for that since I am a grown man and can do whatever I want now, don't have to answer to any---

...oops, gotta run - wife wants me to change the baby. :)

Hang in there! I know I'm running on fumes, myself, but we can all pull through together.

By the way: your shots hardly show a "lack" of Photoshop skills. More like "genius." I'm thinking especially of this one:

Cheers for that...but...as I said in the comments...that one I got the idea from a magazine...but it appears I've just had a brainwave for a couple more...perhaps! :)
