I'm sad that I was called so many colorful names this week in response to posting a stamp stating that "I do not enjoy being called flesh. kthx."

"I" in my usage refers only to me. I (just me) will continue to express my beliefs, and while I understand that sometimes they will upset people, I hope that in the future my watchers will respect my right to have opinions which are different from theirs (or not). I have been advised to hide all the negative comments left, but I won't. While I do not find their judgments of me to be accurate, each of them has the same right to disagree with me as I have with them. I will not host a flame war, and I did not realize that stating my standards of personal interaction would cause a flame war. I guess maybe I should have.

For the record, I spoke for and from myself. There are several people I know who feel the same, and several people who feel very differently. I never claimed or attempted to speak for the community, or even for my studio. Just for myself, as a model.

I will not apologize to anyone for the way that I feel, or for speaking my mind.

I will also not host or participate in flame wars. Studio policy.
