if you are on WP for information, that's great.
That's the reason I signed up.

I don't see how criticising people is informative for you, though. so i doubt that's why you are doing it.
What can I say, I get distracted!

posting a photo is a way of sharing a part of ourselves, and if people want to make neutral or positive comments, i think most people would welcome it. but negative or critical comments are not welcome.
I posted this in the 'Post a picture of the real you' thread:
"I don't usually point out my subjective opinion of these people on forums as that can be offensive" - when referring to average or ugly looking people. If you're referring to what I said about AnonymousAnonymous's photos in general you'll notice that I made no comment of my opinion on his physical attractiveness whether that be good or bad. I was commenting on how his pictures seemed inappropriate and I'm entitled to my opinion. You'll also notice that I haven't referred to him in any other thread so it's not like I'm bullying him or being abusive. I simply said what was on my mind at the time in that thread.

the people who post are making themselves vulnerable by posting
Yeah, and I don't make that choice for them.

and you are taking advantage of that
Really? I've commented on a members general posting style (AnonymousAnonymous), complimented AnnaSuzanna and gave some feedback on Hale_Bopps video. I don't really see that as me taking advantage of anything. Hale_Bopp is hardly going to get upset at someone saying she seems awkward in one of her Youtube videos considering she is aware she has Asperger's Syndrome. Also, if she's more awkward in one video than another, that says something good about the other videos I referred to. It's not like I was attacking her entire upload collection.

since you are not even willing to open yourself to the same kind of comments or criticism, then perhaps you might want to refrain from doing it.
Actually, I'm really not bothered about what people think of my physical appearance - on this forum at least. Maybe that will change if I ever become a regular and feel any attachment to any members. I doubt I'll be around that long though. My reason for not posting my picture is because if someone whom I know in real life ever came to this forum, I wouldn't really want them to see that I had been here.
