Rants on this thread and inner bitching are a heathy thing, Anger is a normal emotion. By making this thead disappear, would be doing to us by us what the government forcing on us.
I have watched this thread since the start. It is after all the fastest growing thread on Pixes by far.
Just my :cents:

Excuse me....bitching is not accepted here...never has never will...

If i or any other Mod feel the need for this thread or any other for that matter to go then it will...

Alassë,

At the risk of finding out, how does one distinguish between ranting and bitching? :)

Ranting is just that

Bitching is deciding to get personal with ya ranting

I like the point you make about finding alternative ways to share. If you check out WI's new pics in Men's I think you will see he found a fun way to get his er....ummm point..... across. And I noticed that CGT's new pics are every bit as sexy as they were before the change in guidelines! I appreciate those of you seeking solutions and alternatives.

:wave: :hug: :x: :) :lurv:

Good thing smilies are not photographic huh? :bj: :hump:

Ready for Round 2

I really don't think I've seen any personal bitching on this thread, Alassë. Just people ranting about a bad situation which none of us can control. We're angry, like you, that these changes are being forced on Pixies by the government and that there's not a lot any of us can do about it. I can only talk for myself, really, but it seems to me that by discussing amongst our selves what each of us know about the situation we're not trying to have a go at the moderators or the site owners, we're not trying to tell anyone what to do or imply that Pixies hasn't fully looked into the situation, we're just trying to make sense of all of this for ourselves and get things off our (often sizeable) chests. This seems fair enough to me in a thread for Q & A on the new rules.

Sorry if anything I've said has been taken as bitchy or personal. It really wasn't intended that way. This is a subject which interests and affects me and I find it useful to discuss it openly. It helps me clarify my own thoughts on the subject. I don't think that discussing these subjects is going to chase people away from Pixies - all the other erotic message boards are going through exactly the same turmoil, there's no way around it - but censoring free expression when there's been no personal attacks or promotion of hatred between groups involved maybe could drive some folk off to pastures new.

Anyway, I love this site and this forum and I'll keep coming here even if it ends up that all we're allowed to show is pictures of cars, houses and penguins. :)

By the way, one question I meant to ask - is my avator ok by the new guidelines? I'd argue that it's more about hygiene and cleanliness than self pleasuring :lust: but I'm happy to change it if anyone thinks it falls fowl of the new rules.

Whatever...i stand on what you quoted

And, incidentally, I have all the required documentation and paperwork to prove my sigline was over 18 when I created her. ;)

Fair dinkum. :)

do you have a penguin? cause if so I want the pics NOW!!!!!

Look at me Senator!

:) I'm pretty sure I could get hold of one if I put my mind to it. Maybe if I slap its beak playfully with a fish it'll think I'm its wife. (Sometimes the thoughts that pop into my head on a daily basis worry me!)
