Just waiting for Lindsay Lohan's pictures - I think unlike Paul, it may not scar me for life! I am willing to take the risk - frankly as for good old Britney getting her beaver out for the cameras, it's a pretty poor showing to be honest!

Actually I have seen that, and its does look a bit like a partially defrosted turkey.

Not nice.

Kenny, it has indeed gone way off topic, but a much more pleasant one!

We want to be pretty hands-off in moderation, but if something offends you - PM Ed, Simon, robin, Simon I or me. It'll then be removed unless the request is totally unreasonable (which this would not have been)

A new thread was started because I wanted to address the community and moderators openly about what I feel is a greatly important issue.

Most members will not have seen these sorts of images for real, nor will have had to deal with the devastating consequences for loved ones.

Sending a PM to the author or moderator may have resulted in the thread being moderated, but would not have allowed my strong feelings on the matter to be conveyed to all.

I therefore felt a dedicated thread was necessary under the circumstances, in response to the suggestions above.

Fair and reasonable mate. But the manner in which the image was posted was not sensationalist and was, indeed, intended to shock people with the horrible truth.

Again, it's a free forum and I was in no way meaning you shouldn't post, I was not sure that you were aware of the alternative option to just PM us.

The image link has ben pulled by the original poster, but I do believe it was posted for the right reasons. If it offended you, of course it's right that it was pulled and I'd have done it myself if the original poster hadn't beat me to it.
