I Have Stopped Allowing Guests to Post

[neovolatile]

At my XX-Beautiful Women Gallery
http://www.pbase.com/neovolatile/beautiful_women

A "Guest" posted very a childish and demeaning comment to the effect that he wanted to see spread genitalia. Sigh. XX means has two X chromosomes. I think he got mistaken with XXX. Hard when someone does not read well, it seems.

I try to post pictures showing all sorts of women whom I find beautiful. These are not models, but real ladies who live real lives (outside the modelling craziness).

If you have a moment, and are a member of pbase, please stop by, look, comment, and vote if you like.

Whatever you do, try to see the beauty all around you. Do not wait for some hypothetical TV or movie "reality."

Have you had weird posts? Do you let "guests" post?

Sincerely,

Ellsworth, we all have had some mad comments. And we all have had a "moment of fury". But then we remember that great button: delete.
(In other words: I got the power and you got the kick)

Oh!, yes... I do let guest to post. Otherwise my family&friends could not comment, and that´s part of the fun here. I still think there should be a way to "approve" comments. That way we could reduce the amount of sick bastards having fun with our lack of patience. But I´m pretty happy in my general life so the hell with them.

Weird people are there to be ignored. I Shouldn't worry about posts from this type of person, as any normal person reading them, having appreciated your photographs (nice job on the moon, BTW) will simply ignore them. I do however think that your gallery name is slightly unfortunate... It might be worth changing it.

I too have had the odd unconstructive comment made about my gallery. Like Matias, I used the "delete" option.... quite handy.
For now, I don't see the need to restrict anyone from commenting on my pictures, but the choice is yours, Ellsworth.
BTW, your work is excellent!

I've only had to delete one Guest comment so far and haven't had to banish them from any gallery. I guess my galleries are pretty innocuous. The comment I deleted wasn't obscene -- it was actually pretty funny -- but I didn't think the subject would appreciate the humor.

Sometimes I just get a little thin-skinned. Badger is my totem animal and the yapping of dachshunds, so to speak, gets on my nerves.

Again, thank you for looking at my pics. Maybe I should relax the posting restriction. I would like for some of those pictured to be able to comment.

Regards,
Ellsworth
