I apologize if you thought my message constituted "expounding." I was merely trying to politely (after all, I did say "please") ask you to cease a discussion that many list members, myself in particular, find offensive.

Obviously, you don't care what others think, nor do you care what impact your words have on others. The fact that someone here may have a teenage daughter who was was the victim of a sexual predator apparently is of no importance to you, so long as you get to express whatever you want, whenever you want, notwithstanding the effect it has on others.

In the future, I'll try my best to not offend you. I hold little hope that you'll extend the same consideration, but that's okay... it's your karma, not mine.

Regards,

Chris

P.S. What *truly* saddens me is that the original comment that started this (to me) offensive thread wasn't sexual in nature at all. As I read it, all the original poster suggested was that the young model might find it fun to participate in a photo shoot that involved "regular" clothes instead of the "high fashion" the model usually wears for a shoot.

Several list members took this original, perhaps poorly-worded, statement to mean, "Yeah, let's get her naked!" Whether the model is 16 or 26, I find that somewhat offensive. The fact that the model is 16 just makes it more so.
