Being a "parent" has nothing to do with squeezing a kid out, or depositing sperm at the right moment. It's an argument that insults people like Allah because you're a hysterical Tennessee Williams heroine who can't deal with me accurately expressing people not understanding risk. Why insult every adoptive parent in the world because you can't handle me?


When did I say "physically procreate"? I said "decide to have kids." That includes making a willful choice to adopt. Perhaps you've seen one of the number of times I mentioned my husband and I intend to adopt in a few years, preferable a non-caucasion, special-needs child, the sort of which isn't likely to find a home.

But you knew that already, you're just trolling again, pulling sh'it out of your *** to fling at me because I called you on the fact that you're an @#%^ who doesn't have the first f'ucking qualification for telling others how they should or should not raise a kid.

Pikko's precaution, or her husband's, is very sensible given her position. As an admin here at Alla, she's in a position to be much more likely to attract the ire of some disgruntled whacko who didn't get their gaming magazine on time. Furthermore, the chances that her identity could be discerned are also increased (her real name was on an email she sent me once, so I'm sure others could get the information as well.) She faces more risk from the chance that there could be a nutjob on these boards than you or I do, and YES, that risk also applies to her family.

If you were less busy being a prick and more busy actually THINKING about things, instead of reacting like the liberal movements answer to a premenstrual Dr. Laura, you would get that.

Now go take your Midol, stick to subjects you actually KNOW something about, and STFU.

You know, generally, I don't let much get to me on these forums, but I would like to make it clear that I have *never* insulted another person's child. To me, that's off limits. I think it's so far beyond rude and detrimental to the community that we've created here that I simply wouldn't go there.

How is saying she is hapless an insult? If Smash in anything IRL like he behaves on these fora, then she is, in fact, very unlucky to have him in her life, because he's a complete prick. She has my deepest sympathy. There was no insult intended, nor do I think there is really one that may be inferred.


I suppose if you weren't an ignorant self-righteous ****, you'd be able to figure out how it's insulting. As you're apparently incapable, I'll let it go.

No, you stupid *****, it does not.

I'll be doing every legal thing in my power to prevent that from happening, including offering your posts here as evidence of your unfitness. Good luck, though. :-)

No, I can't magically "know already" when you decide to improperly use phrases. I don't have some sort of magical clairvoyance into the writing style of unfit parents. Also, idiot, it's not what you meant at all. You just realized your overreach when I pointed it out to you and know you're backpedaling ludicrously.

No, cumbucket. It's an irrational fear. It makes no sense, *at all*. It's identical to being frightened meteors will hit the children and buying them meteor umbrellas. Anyone who wanted to kidnap Piko's children would be hindered, oh let me think now, NOT AT ALL by her decision not to post their photos online. Any psychopath who were going to fly to ******* Hawaii (or already lived there) to harm them wouldn't have much difficulty finding out what they looked like.



If you were less busy being a prick and more busy actually THINKING about things, instead of reacting like the liberal movements answer to a premenstrual Dr. Laura, you would get that.

I know more about raising children than you ever will. You're a terrible mother. Absolutely horrible. It' impossible your children won't grow to hate you, though if you're lucky they'll try to avoid telling you. You are a bad parent, and I think you know this. You're unqualified, and dangerously unwilling to learn any parenting skills.

I don't pray, but if I did, it would be that your husband is the diametric opposite of you who just likes sticking it in your *** so much that he's willing to put up with a 10 year old child in a fat old woman's body.

Smash, a lot of factors go into why I can't post pictures of them anymore and what Nexa said touches a lot on it. I personally would like to post pics of them, but at the same time, I have no real counter argument for the reasoning behind Mr. Pikko's request other than my own personal gain because really, what benefit does it do for my kids for me to post their pics here? I'm pretty sure everyone here understands that I am not ragging on them for posting their own kids' pictures simply because I wish I could do the same.

It's just a matter of opinion and Mr. Pikko happens to have a strong one about his own pictures on the internet, so it's understandable that he'd feel even stronger about our kids.

I'm sorry that my comments ended up derailing so hard. Carry on! Smiley: grin

Further to Pikko's post, I don't post pics of my kids on the interwebs because they don't want me to.

The fact that they're old enough to take that decision is barely relevant. If they're too young to give consent, then posting photos is an assumption they'd be OK with it.

As for their current images. . .

Dracoid looks like Russell Brand but in tighter clothes and with bigger back-combed hair.

The Noblet looks like a blonde muscle-bound surfer.

Yeah. OK. The real reason for no pics is they make me look even fugglier than I am

As I posted earlier, that's fine. I'm not arguing that people should be forced to post pictures of their children, or that it's somehow wrong or silly for them not to. Lots of people have lots of reasons to maintain privacy. The issue I have is that it's somehow "in their best interest" not to. Unless there's some sort of valid reasoning I'm just ignorant of, an actual threat from someone or the implication of same, stating "it's in their best interest" unavoidably argues people who are posting pictures of their children are acting AGAINST their kid's best interests. If there's no specific danger to the Piko kids, then it's a general danger to all children that the people posting pictures are ignoring, against their children's interests.

That's a problem, and I imagine it wasn't your intent. I'm not judging Mr. Piko's reasoning, as I'm ignorant of it, but the implication that it's simply to risky to post photos of children because the world is teeming with wild eyed kidnappers just waiting on the edge of their seats for a target is ******* insane. I'm sure it's probably more complex than that, but I have a limited POV that can't see those complexities.

This stuff?

I had some fairly bad Psoriasis as a child. It was all on my scalp, looked like dandruff but wasn't. The doctors told my mother to use this Seabreeze cleanser on it. I had to was my hair with that stuff all the time, I absolutely hated the smell.

I hated getting lice checks in elementary school because of it. One day I was stopped in line, and the principal comes up and looks, saying "Oh, that's just dandruff, you really should be using a dandruff shampoo young man". Stupid *****, I hated my elementary school principal, competely ignorant of the fact that I had a skin disorder and just assumed I didn't bath properly.

I really should have sued her... woulda made life much easier.

I've gotten into the habit of posting pics of the kids with Sanrio faces on them, so that I can become famous for being Bad Badtz Maru's mommy. Think of the power I'd have at my fingertips once this news goes worldwide! I also photoshop a tarutaru face onto pic of me and Mr. Pikko, which makes him crazy, but hey, I'm just abiding by his wishes right? Smiley: laughSmiley: sly

Vewwwy intewesting. I just must comment.

I agree with Smash that people seldom spend the time or money on protecting or planning for, what are statistically, the greatest threats to their, and/or their families, health and safety.

Also, Smash may have a better perspective than actual parents on this, as he's not as emotionally involved - you know clouded judgement and all that.

There may well be other reasons for not posting kids pics besides just internet stalkers though, and parents could indeed claim that those reasons are in 'the childs best interest' - whatever they may be.

Almost lastly, Ambrya having a one year old does't make you any more qualified to discuss general parenting than Smash, or even Katie...or even KOA!! (and I seriously doubt that Smash calls Hannah an 'ignorant fucking twunt...unless it's really called for).

Lovely children all:D

(Katie, how'd you get your dog in that tree?)

Or becoming a step parent? As much as Nexa posts about how close Smash and Hannah are, I think it's pretty obvious he's going to be an involved caregiver. And may I point out, he's known Hannah longer than you've known your kid.

I dunno, I can't see your remarks as anything but insulting. You don't see it because you're invested in being right and Smash being wrong, but step parents can and do contribute to child raising all the time.

At any rate, cute kids abound.
