There are some sick people on Flickr.

I recently posted some pics on Flickr and TPF of the osprey I recently saw on vacation. I just recently joined Flickr so I was optimistic about posting some of my favorite shots on there...but as many cool pics as I had on there, I cancelled my account this morning.

What happened? For the pic, I was below the osprey, so my pic of the osprey was from a lower and rearward angle. Somebody on flickr commented on it this morning and started following my flickr page. I had no clue who this person was, so I clicked on their profile....turns out this person takes and posts pics of animal butts and close-ups of their sphincter and genitals. What a sick f#*k! I was so appalled by somebody so sick in the head following me, that I just deleted my account. I don't care to share my pics that much....

Sorry for the rant, but has anybody else come across this type of profile on Flickr?

no. But I am not on flckr and have no large desire to be on it. I prefer my bubble it keeps me away from the people natural selection missed.

Yuck...

I need to format my brain now. ):

Format (space) C;U Make sure to add the U. It works so much better that way.

Is that sort of like the *nix command "rm -rf *"?

On Flickr, you can lock people out from following you, uploading your pictures, etc if you think they're weird.

Dizz-actly. No need to pull a major overreaction and jump ship just because you posted a picture of a bird's butt and some weirdo started drooling; just BLOCK the weirdo. Why let whackos run your life for you?

I am the evidence of the atrocity that the evil internet can do! HIDE YO WIF! HIDE YO KIDZ!

Let me preface this by saying that I am in total agreement with the folks who say simply block the perv and don't let him or her determine your choices.

Having said that, it can be super creepy to encounter this level of deviance personally rather than just knowing intellectually that it exists.

A couple of years ago, I wrote a couple of posts about Lolita. About a year or so later, I got notification that I had a new comment on one of the posts and it needed approval. The comment was from someone who claimed that I wrote a horrible review of the book because I didn't even know the difference between pedophilia - being sexually attracted to children - and hebephilia - being sexually attracted to adolescents aged 11-14. He then went on to say that of course I would be as short-sighted as everyone else because people just don't understand the beauty of love between a grown adult and a pre-pubescent child.

Needless to say, I did NOT approve the message. I reported it to WordPress, I closed comments on the Lolita posts, and I deleted the notification email. I didn't take down the blog, or even the posts. It didn't stop me from using WordPress.

It DID, however, creep me out to no end for days.

There is a website for people who like to chew ice.

It recommends the best places to get ice to chew.

Once such an item existed, I realized that there could be no end to man's depravity.

seems like bit of a overreaction.

Never heard of that but it's quite bizarre. Seems like the anonymity often available on the internet gives people like that a chance to have a field day. I haven't used my Flickr page too much lately (I don't like it so well since the changes that started with the new CEO) but I have it set just for people I know to be able to see my page. That's enough for me to follow and view their photos as well.
