Well it was ment as a joke. It started when I was sent a message telling me that my real pic wasn't femm enough because my beard showed through. Well I have a very dark beard. So even with a very close shave the color shows through. I've had some laser done but it didn't work well. Now my beard shows in splotches. But still I didn't see the pic as offensive. Maybe because that was't the intent. 

Karen, I for one don't believe you had malicious intentions posting that picture and that is why I made such a point of addressing it.  When we see posting after posting with inappropriate material, pretty soon we use those as a standard to what is or is not appropriate.  Then without thinking much about it, you can easily say this isn't bad "compared to" the other stuff that gets posted.  It is just a downward spiral.  You are clearly a decent person and my addressing the picture was not intended to attack your character.

But you did attack me

Nope, I atacked the picture you were responsible for, not you.  Yes I clearly attributed it to you and said someone who has been here as long as you should know better, but I see that more as a reprimand for an event, not a character attack.  I think you have now said enough about it to reflect it was clearly a mistake, that is honorable.  You are a good person Karen, your old pic is you, screw those who don't like it.  I much prefer your picture over the legs in nylon shots.

Hugs,

Marsha

First you did it in the open so yes it was an attack.

Second who are you to reprimand anyone.

Why are you doing this Karen?  You know, I tell people that I have no problem with people knowing that I am transgender, but you’re not going to see me walking around carrying a sign saying that I am.  You are just bringing more and more attention to that disgusting picture you chose to post.  Why?  You apparently missed the entire point about my original post so I will go ahead and state it once more for you.  I posted that too much inappropriate stuff was being posted on the front page and listed two examples, one of which was your picture of a bound and gagged woman in the back seat of a car, the other being a sales ad for sexual fetish material.  Yes I mentioned you because you are the one who posted that picture, but the theme of the post was the inappropriate items.

And who am I to reprimand anyone?  I am Marsha Ann, a real person as will as a member of this social/support website which has always used peer pressure to maintain a clean and safe environment for the transgender community to use for support.  So as a member I am therefore one of your peers, and that gives me the right to call you out for your inappropriate post.

If you are confused whether my original post is a personal attack or not, I would be happy to show you a personal attack by pulling some stuff out of your blog from a couple years ago and posting it where everyone can see how full of BS you really are.  I will leave that up to you.  You already apologized for the pic, now let it drop.

Well said marsha!

karen, your going to have to yield on this one!! i totally understand your reason for posting the pic, but you must see whats happening since the photo censorship has been lifted, its getting ridiculous and mar, is just as you are a long time member questioning your reasoning...not attacking you...
