I hope wont offend any one

Vicky, Do you have a url for your blog?

Patti

I do find this offensive, please advertise for your sex business elsewhere!

Trust me, it has NOTHING to do with beads! You don't want to go there! YUCK.

Ditto....I am fairly new to beading and also a lurker on here. I quite enjoy looking at all of the lovely creations, but this person was offensive. And I don't offend that easily.

Heather (Canada)

Excuse me but my blog doesnt even have sex on it its about me personally

I dont see any thing offensive about it I am a Beader as well and have been for 10 years there are no nude photos and its just about my life your a bit easy to affend arent your then UH

thank you Kalera I do many things in my life not just beads thanks for having a open mind! This one wont have the naughty pictures it just saves me writting to many places ! I am also Handicaped and writting does Hurt so i trying to cut down on that and let all my friends be they beaders or others know whats happing with me! My beading Jewelry making is part of my life but not all I very creative in all my work strange as that may seem to some! If If i put a link to adult stuff on it it usually says what it is i do plan to put some jewelry examples as well! I been in this group on and off for 8 years i figure i was first on as snipped-for-privacy@webtv.com so i not just a spammer or weirdo invading a bead group Victoria

no

You know Linda, it's this kind of post that starts flame wars. You're entitled to your opinion of what she posted, I'm entitled to mine. You are welcome to choose anyone you want for a friend. So can I. I have no idea why Vicky posted a link that she KNEW would be offensive in the first place on a beading group. She could have posted a blog WITHOUT a link to her nursenancy site. She chose to do so. Since it is a commercial site, the only conclusion I can come to about it is that she WANTED people to click thru to there and perhaps snare some new customers. I happen to find phone sex and bondage offensive. It has nothing to do with beads. SHE should apologize to ME and others she offended by her callous and thoughtless post.

I stated my opinion. Nuff said.

Why would my post to you start a flame war?????? Yes, you have a right to post whatever you want, but than again so do I. And a disagreement between

2 people is hardly a flame war!

For the record, I didn't know that Vicki was an Adult entertainer before her blog either. I just know that she's a funny and kind woman whom I enjoy trading emails with; we talk about jewelry making, bead and cats. And I'm not into bondage or phone sex either, but I'm certainly more tolerant of people than you are, especially people who have long belonged to a usenet group that I've been a part of for years and who have showed me only kindness. I'm certainly not going to change my opinion of her now, just because she does phone sex.

As far as having the link in her blog, well duh... again, I repeat... blogs are "a day in the life of". I also don't believe, as you stated, that Vicki "KNEW" it would be offensive to post her blog in here. To what purpose would that serve her??? To alienate people that she enjoys talking to??? I don't think so. And as for "snaring new customers"... again DUH... like,

*how* many men are in this group that she could get new business from???

Most experienced usenet people would know that the term "Naughty Nurse" is a dead giveaway that it's going to link you with an Adult website. It was YOUR CHOICE and YOUR CURIOSITY that led you to click on the link. Then to come back in here and rail at Vicki for being offensive and now demand an apology from her... that's what *I* find offensive.

Yer the one who seems to be set on that. Otherwise, I think you'd quit being such a judgemental & intolerant bitch and just let it go!
