Ok... I'm new here. But I spent the better part of 2 hours reading this thread and the thread that caused this thread to be posted. I think that gives me the right to comment.
Both are very entertaining reading, thought provoking, and some posts even witty. But when witty turns to malice the entertainment value diminishes. The only thing Janus did wrong, IMO, was stupping to Mules level. I thought his 'essay' was very well written and yes thought provoking. But was it worthy of the threat of litigation? GEEZZZZ boys and girls. In the words of the famous Rodney King.... "Can't we all just get along?" Unfortunately the answer is no. It's not in humans nature to be a kinder, gentler person. We will always have the Mules of the world to keep us honest to our true nature.
I also went through the 31 pages of pics in the Jack Olsen self-portrait thread to see how many actually have the testicles/ovaries to post their pictures. Put a face with the sword if you will. Not to many. I'd wager to say if everyone had to put their picture up prior to a post we'd have way less bickering. But then where's the entertainment in that?
FWIW...
