I'm not being a facist dictator, but I am making you aware that there is a Code of Conduct here at this site and in it, it asks for people not to be insulting of other members on the forums.

Now, even though people have requested that this obviously vulgar and thoughtless thread be closed, I have allowed it to remain as a topic for discussion because it actually took on a thought-provoking conversational atmosphere. This served two purposes, in my opinion. First, it allowed something usually only discussed delicately to be discussed under and indelicate flag so people were more likely to communicate their views. Second, it thumbed the general nose at the thread creator, who was only looking to stir people up and create turmoil. That works just fine for me.

And, if you feel he is correct, then don't look at the pictures. Keep your negative comments to yourself. I don't want to hear them and neither do the people with the guts enough to post them to this site. In fact, if you bothered to read the Personal Photography thread, you'd see that it comes with its own set of rules. One of which is to not be insulting to the people posting or the people within the photographs taken. The resultant action should have been an immediate ban for you and the removal of all your posts from these forums. Consider yourself lucky for even getting a warning. The guy that started this thread did not.

So, if you want to play nice and share well with others, by all means continue to post threads like your Latex Rot one. If you want to be an asshole and get kicked, then keep posting replies like the one quoted here and the reply previously posted in this thread. There, you now have a polite reminder to not say anything if you can't say anything nice.

Sieg heil!
