        Why...

Yes, why indeed...

I would posit that you would have served the entire community a lot better
by dropping a note to Kevin about this pic instead of posting a link to it
to ***.GENERAL***, for goodness sake, with nary a word of warning that it's
inappropriate.

C'mon Richard, show a little common sense, will you?

I did what I could to make a bad situation better.
I didn't know what else to do but knew that resolution was needed.
I just wanted to find help, and didn't know how else to do it.

Seemed like the best "common sense" at that time...

          <To "all" except LFB>
But what's the sense in re-posting the link?
What's the sense in leaving the conversation in general.
What's the sense in creating a provocative title to draw attention?
(I posted there for "general" help... why did y'all post
here and not in off-topic?)
What's the sense in discussing the issue here,
I don't spam-block my e-mail, anyone can reach me!
(For people speak about "what's best for the community,"
well privately e-mailing me to discuss options would have
been far more productive)

  I'll just be going away now, sorry to have bothered y'all with this!

                                        it'll be awhile,

Why’d I leave the post in .general & .admin? Honestly, because a general-community outline is needed for these type of situations. We’re the ones that’ll likely encounter these incidents first, so we should have some measures in place. Because (...) (23 years ago, 20-Feb-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) Nah, don't hide because of one silly newsgroup tripup. The eyeball-biting monkey shall surely gnaw this too into oblivion by the time the morning sun rises.

(...) And we applaud you for that. (...) Now you know what else can be done to fix the problem. (...) I, for one, think you did the right thing.

Put up or shut up. Everyone that reposted the link and jumped down his throat needs to apologize to Richard for doing the same thing he did. Now there is some common sense. (23 years ago, 20-Feb-02, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
