OK, I feel better now.

(I tried to find things to please most people. I'll have you know I spend hours just looking at sites, trying to find pictures that would make you happy. You'd better appreciate my hard (no pun) work!)

1. Your "warning" maybe should also have included

some kind of advisory that gay soft-porn was involved.

I'm not particularly "offended" , it's just a waste of my
time an attention not being gay and all.

[gadjitfreek]

2. Seconded.

Enjoy these on your own...personally I get no enjoyment out of looking at semi-nude pictures of ripped guys. I could post an analogous picture of myself but I fear you would run screaming from the room in terror tearing your eyes out.

[HillWilliam]

3. Then why are you posting in this thread?

The "NSFW" should have been a tip-off.

[Behind the Aegis]

4. The "NSFW" was added upon edit.

Of course, given the poster has only posted twice in the LGBT forum, it makes wonder what about the subject line even attracted his attention, his not being gay and all. As for the second poster, it is his first post here in LGBT.

[WillParkinson]

5. The NSFW...

Was added after the first "I'm not gay and don't want to look at softcore porn" so well before the second post. As for the first, you say it's a waste of your time, but you needed to scroll through all the pictures just to be able to tell me you wasted your time? Um...k.

[Behind the Aegis]

6. Confusing ain't it?!

I am also confused...how are those pictures "soft-core porn?" There isn't even nudity.

[WillParkinson]

7. That's what I was wondering...

But couldn't think of a nice way to say it. I'm grateful that you and HillWilliam helped me out on that part.

[Behind the Aegis]

8. I love lending a helping hand.

Oh dear...is that too pornographic?! Shame upon me!

[WillParkinson]

9. Given the subject matter...

I think it's a perfectly gentlemanly thing to do! Very chivalrous.



I'm sure you could make his Knight.

10. What were they expecting... kittens? Sheesh!

Thanks for cheering me up, too, by the way

[HillWilliam]

14. It could be his last if s/he makes a habit of

coming into our SAFE-HAVEN group just to piss on threads.

[closeupready]

19. This. And Will Parkinson is a long-time valued member here.

I think the thread is totally fine, and further, the title is "I'm in a mood' - well, that's part of what this group is for - community support. If posting pictures here and chatting about them helps build the GLBT community and relationships, it is certainly a valuable topic.

[HillWilliam]

24. For real

What I read this morning was disruption pure and simple. Amongst ourselves, we seem to be handling things just fine. No need for strangers to come in and disrupt.

Look, these threads are usually pretty clearly marked. I treat them the same as I do any thread on DU: if I want to read it, I do. If I don't I don't. No need to piss on a thread. If I look at some thread and don't like what I see, I'm free to go anywhere else, so I do. Nothing to get all tore-up about. The same applies to anyone else.

I'd welcome the anyone else to post similar if they're so inclined. This is our safe-haven. My take is, so long as explicit bits aren't showing, it's art. If someone doesn't like LGBT art and interests, there are tons of other forums and groups. Go there.

11. You're not gay?????????

Holy shit someone alert the media!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry we forgot to add in the group purpose that posts should be specifically designed to "not waste 99th_Monkeys time." Cause of course it is, all about you.

[Call Me Wesley]

12. And you know what,

it took some extra minutes to scroll all the way down, too! The outrage!

[William769]

17. This is a celebration of the male art form done in a tasteful & respectful way.

Got it?

[Jamastiene]

18. Considering your "not being gay and all"

why are you in the LGBT Group to complain about what we post here?

Also, if it was such a waste of time, then why did you take EXTRA time to post a reply? You wasted your own time doing that. Don't blame us for that. You could have just hidden the thread and went back to the thousands of straight threads in other parts of DU.

[dbackjon]

13. Thank you Thank you Thank you

[beyurslf]

15. Yummy!!!!

The only problem I see is that there are too many clothes on those men.

[WillParkinson]

16. Oh, believe me...

When I was looking at some of the pictures there were some I'd LOVE to use, but those would have gotten this thread locked easier than XChrom!

(Waits for the fallout from that comment...)

[Fearless]

21. What are you locking xchrom to?

Just wondering... for scientific purposes of course.

[mitchtv]

20. thanks Will, but

how do you order one? you forgot the order form

[Jamastiene]

22. Order form

That was a good one.

[WillParkinson]

23. Sorry, but...

They aren't for sale.

At least till I'm done with them. Then I'll put them in the used bin and you can all have your pick of my discards.

[libodem]

25. Yeah bsby
