My point is thus proven. That is why I asked.
We ARE talking about one person. Which is bullying. If it were more than one person, a regular occurence of lots of members, then fair enough. But you've basically admitted that these instances are literally about one person.
I have nothing more to say except I really would've thought we were above this - no matter what we found annoying.
No no no, I don't quite understand what point you've proven? AFAIK, nobody has mentioned names, nobody has linked to specific photos (which is what you were asking), and nobody is saying anything like "oh, there's that photo with x and y in the background", highlighting one or two people.
What people seem to be discussing is a general unease brought on by a certain theme of photos - which at the moment tend to be perpetrated by only one or two people, but to imply that the whole thread is directed at only them takes prejudgement and assumption (unless I've missed specific name-mentioning or situation-mentioning?). Just because it was sparked by a recent situation doesn't mean that it's targeted at only those people, that's how discussions
tend to work.
Say somebody comes on to the forum, sees some photos of a couple kissing, considers posting a photo of themselves kissing, then reads this thread and sees people saying that some members find those photos triggering. Crisis averted, non? Personally, I feel that this thread serves a very good purpose in discussing what people do and don't find upsetting or not-appropriate-for-this-forum. There are no direct mentions and no specific incidents that have been described.
