I have to agree with Tim (although there is no reason to offend someone
by insinuating they're a teenager... now that's offensive! he he)
The internet is full of things you might find offensive and frankly you
can't do squat about something like this... I have no interest in fake
pornographic
photos of Pat, therefore I don't follow the link. the subject line said
Pat Fakes, so I didn't even need to open it and follow the link - I just
deleted it with the rest of the junk in my inbox. To me the spam filling
up my mailbox everyday is more offensive than some guy, who thinks its hot
to put Pat's head on someone else's body...
and maybe you could have summed up all those messages into one...

This flurry of messages in itself is pretty bizarre. Are you sure you're<BR>
33 years old, and not 13?<BR>
<BR>
First off, nothing offensive was posted here in this group. There was a<BR>
link, which no one had their arm twisted
>to follow. And it was clearly<BR>
marked as "fakes", so you could have no delusions that you'd be seeing<BR>
real publicity shots of Pat, or vidcaps from her shows, as many of us<BR>
here look forward to.<BR>
<BR>
Secondly, "f
>kes" are just that. Fakes. Doctored photos, usually with<BR>
a celebrity's head pasted on another body, with varying degrees of finesse.<BR>
Soemtimes, these are very tastefully done, and respectful to the actor.<BR>
Other times the
>'re really crude and disgusting, and none of the true Pat<BR>
fans here would be interested in that. But that goes with the territory.<BR>
<BR>
In your case, it doesn't seem like you'd have any interest in fakes of<BR>
Pat under any circumsta
>ces (regardless of how tasteful), so it's hard<BR>
to comprehend why you'd ever click on such a link in the first place.<BR>
(Or deluge the group with your rantings afterwards.)<BR>
<BR>
Quoting and re-disseminating the link again was a real faux-p
>x. You<BR>
should have known better than that. Hopefully, you've learned something.<BR>
<BR>

<BR>
P.S. I definitely don't want any Pat fakes posted here in this group.<BR>
However, I don't have any problem with posting
>of links to anything that<BR>
is Pat-related, as long as they're not deceptive as to what is at the<BR>
other end.<BR>
