Yes, I realize the photos are not iron-clad evidence that underage drinking occurred in a bar, but a reasonable association could be drawn circumstantially. You can't deny that. So if people draw that conclusion, it is for a reason. As such, I think you overreacted and said some hurtful things in the heat of the moment. Yes, there is an element of snark somewhere among the responses. But this is the Ledge- we are snark-mongers. We dish it, we take it.

Fully, 110% understood. I think I'm just really sick of this happening every freaking time I post on the Ledge, especially since 90% of the time it comes from people who I never actually talk to, and they do it in a very condescending way about really tiny things. I've been keeping my mouth shut about it for 2 years now and it's just gotten really old.

That being said, I'm sorry it escalated, especially with Bee who doesn't understand my sensitivity to this subject because she hasn't been around long enough to see how long it's been going on. I don't go vocalizing my thoughts on people I don't know's decisions (although I do so in my head frequently) and I'd like the same courtesy.

Thanks, v and MLL.

Nikolaj · #**1878** 01-20-2011, 03:03 AM

Some nice photos

Nikolaj,
How come every time someone makes a thread you always have to apologize by the end of the thread?
Just saying...

Nikolaj · #**1880** 01-20-2011, 03:35 AM

I wasn't apologizing. You didn't miss much.
"Sorry" you misunderstood!

I wasn't being nasty in anyway, I was just annoyed that this uber cool thread is getting tossed and filled with silliness.

^ I agree with you that it should be a fun thread.

Meowi · #**1883** 01-20-2011, 03:59 AM

I know you care,
But I guess people just got the wrong impressions.

daniellaaarisen · #**1884** 01-20-2011, 11:20 AM

If you really want this to go away, stop posting about it.

And that is the way it is in real life too, I'm still the same person and everything to people, talking the same, acting the same, I just have two different looks when I want to. I don't try to become Stevie in those clothes, I still stay myself, unlike some of the others who do the dress up. For me, what changes you is the way you feel in all that stuff. It's a gypsy-witchyness you wouldn't know unless you've dressed in it. Others who do, know what I'm talking about. I've had grown straight men ask me how all that stuff must feel?

But yeah, I need to put some (normal) pics of me on here. I'm overdue. I have before on 7W I think.

Shane, you did post some pictures of you in srteet clothes on 7W.
Your a cutie pie both ways!
Now lets get back to posting pic. of ourselfs!

Lets see what I can dig up!

Me last summer at my Aunts pool, am longing for summer to come back!

Random dumb picture

^ Cutie!

Jumped on "every time you log on?"

By who? And people have threatened to leave The Ledge before - they're never serious. They just want 20 people to chime in "oh no, please don't leave, we need you here, blah blah blah."

So true. Public message board, sweetie. You want it private between friends? Take it to PM.

Did you get the OK to make a comment?

Why don't you? Who's stopping you? This is, after all, a PUBLIC MESSAGE BOARD. If you're going to post personal info, you should expect people to react & comment and *gasp* judge.

As long as nobody's calling eachother nasty names or threatening eachother, who cares? See your post:

I know. The 1 thread that's stayed alive all these years (or at least, some variation of the original thread anyway.) More pics, people!

Here. Me & the kid, New Year's Eve at a friends. Unfortunately, removing the red eye gave me Supernatural demon eyes:

So which is hotter... Sam or Dean? I think I've finally been converted to Sam:

And so to purge the whole silly derailment of this thread once and for all, here I am apparently taking a 30 foot tall boulder for the team:
