Farewell Flux0r!

What's funny is that if you knew her at all, you could guess the second sentence there just by reading the first.

Not sure what you mean, but I did not know her it all. I don't really have extravagant amounts of time to get to know people I don't have actual access to. I just think it's sad that when one person asks if anyone knows what happened with her (by the way, not me) his polite question is met with nothing but arrogance from a community I thought was about support and encouraging those viewed as outsiders. It's just that sometimes when I see how many of the outsiders act, I realize why they are outsiders in the first place: because they want to be.

Is this gonna be an "I knew Flux better than you" competition? Sad!

I'm more sorry than I can express if it is, in fact, the case that you (or the poster to which you allude) fail to comprehend the vast multitude of reasons why a woman might opt no longer to pose nude on the intarwebz on a given site and stop doing so, and subsequently might not want people insisting upon following her to other intarwebz forums or other areas of her life to keep her tied to the identity y'all opted to see whilst viewing her nude on the intarwebz (in other words, subsequently might hope that SG members will realize that it's none the fuck of their business why she opts no longer to pose nude on the intarwebz/on SG). "Encouraging those viewed as outsiders" does not equate to being a-okay with the idea that the viewers of Flux's erstwhile SG-sponsored tits feel some entitlement to tracking her down elsewhere. I'm not saying that the poster to which you're referring honestly felt that entitlement; what I'm saying is that the reasons why his post may have come off the wrong way are not at all incomprehensible.

I'm also saying: please get the fuck off of your high horse, because what you're responding to has jack shit to do with anyone being "outsiders." It has to do with having basic respect for a human being's privacy. I don't think it's out of line for one person to inform another that said respect is important to keep in mind.

It's interesting how when someone else had a similar comment near the beginning of this, everyone was very positive. If you feel like a site about news, politics, and empowerment is nothing but a 'nudie site,' then I feel kind of sorry for you. Flux wasn't just a model, she was also a very important contributor on the staff. I kind of feel like it's views like yours that may have led to her disillusionment and departure. I had no "connection" to her, I'm happily married. I did, however, respect her. I just get amazed by how much hate there is when everyone becomes anonymous.

You're a nice lady and all, but just for the record: I don't feel entitled to anything at all, and the only way whatsisname misinterpreted my response to him is that he didn't realize I was making fun of him.

Necia said:

Oh, whatever. Don't even. You've felt entitled since, like . . . (*checks*) . . . August 2002.
