<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mrbrklyn, post: 471536, member: 4381&quot;]Let me see if I can explain the purpose since its escaping you. I have taught on the university level, so i might have a chance to succeed here. </p><p><br /></p><p>The subject was &quot;I caught a mermaid!&quot; - see it still says it next to the word Thread: in the upper right hand corner.&nbsp; I posted pictures of the Mermaid Parade which is a PG parade with LOTS of little children in it and along the parade route.&nbsp; The images had far less nudity than say the coin that is posted above or the picture posted below and it is a yearly event in Brooklyn, world famous, and which brings people from around the globe to attend.</p><p><br /></p><p>The parade has people who dress as Mermaids and they Parade down Mermaid avenue.&nbsp; Nobody ever gets arrested for public lewdness and fun is had by all.</p><p><br /></p><p>There was no intention to harm anything, or anyone.&nbsp; Nor is it my style to run roughshod with moral proclamations like Hobo is doing here.&nbsp; If anyone wants to see pictures of the Mermaid Parade, the ones I happened to&nbsp; have posted was from a Daily News Photographer, both the papers published pics and his private blog. Your welcome to enjoy them, or stand over them in righteous indignation, or not enjoy them... I don&#039;t really care. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not embarrassed by them, and frankly neither should you be, but this is America and everyone is entitled to their opinion, regardless of how silly it is.&nbsp; But just for your own knowledge Hobo, I pulled them because poster of the thread got upset, and I try to be a nice guy, so I pulled them from the thread and then posted them in the General discussion area where the moderators decided the didn&#039;t want them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now, I think they are wrong, but they have jurisdiction to make that decision, and outside of your sniping at me here, I just don&#039;t care enough about it even if posting deer that was shot dead is considered OK but Brooklyn Mermaids is considered vulgar.&nbsp; Too each their own.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ruben[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
