More importantly are cameras banned, or should everyone sign release forms?

Quote: Godot Taxis @ September 29 2009, 12:46 AM BSTI said the picture was 'a good mixture of beauties and fuglies.' It's obviously a throw away remark. At worst I would expect people to assume that they were a beauty and other people were fugly. But it clearly isn't a serious comment. In fact I'd go so far as to say if someone else had posted it you wouldn't give a toss.
Kenneth said that you looked like Jeremy Beadle.
I didn't 'label you all fuglies', I said that the picture contained a mixture of 'beauties and fuglies'. So you might have been a beauty. Even so it was not meant to be taken seriously. As no doubt your post wasn't.
Incidentally, the only reason I wasn't at the meet was because it clashed with a prior engagement. I got back to London at 9.00ish and I toyed with the idea of coming along. I was at both of the previous meets. I live in London and I would ordinarily attend these things.
I have to defend myself against this because it is totally wrong. Firstly, I didn't take the picture down, it was removed by a mod. Secondly I did not post any of Billwill's pictures. I would never do that. I am able to understand the protocol around having a password protected gallery. I posted a composite picture of nine small heads in B + W. I also covered the eyes. I posted them to find out who they were as they were not people I had met. 2 admins sent me a list of who they were incidentally. I didn't post the picture with any derogatory remarks at all, and clearly it wasn't a picture designed to amuse anyone. It never once crossed my mind that anyone would use the picture to make jokes with. The people who made fun of the images were Kenneth, Marc P and KJSmyling, not me. I have seen no posts making any criticism of them, presumably because they are friends of the people complaining.
Actually Nil was a bit rude to me, but I can take it. Obviously it isn't up to you to decide wether I am 'the bad guy of BCG', and I am more than willing to apologise if I do something that offends a lot of people. I have no idea what the incident is you are referring to with Danny, but I don't think it has any bearing on me. I like this forum and I've been a member of it for a long time, longer than most people who post regularly for what it's worth. I joined a month after Leevil, and a month before Ben. I don't say that for any other reason than to say that I think my commitment to it is well understood.
Finally I would like to say, I understand very well that some people on here are very shy, chronically lacking in confidence, introverted and/or have issues with other people seeing images of them. I would like to point out that my picture added nothing to the visibility of these people, and I would also like to suggest that almost no-one in the world is looking at the images from the meet. Billwill can tell you the stats but the only people who have seen these images are other BCG members, and they were surely looking at them with the interest you might have in pictures of your 'friends.'
I never got to see the pics and I wanted to. Booooooo Hoooooo However, if one does not wish to share one should respect that. SO THERE!!!

I hate it when people edit quotes.
IS Godot's biggest crime being good at Pictionary?

If I come to another meet I'm gonna bring this:
I'll shove anything pointed at me up your arse. 
Aaron, careful where you point that thing!
Nooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

You sort of missed the point - I meant to defend myself.

My-my, it's been a hot-blooded day or so on this thread!
To be fair to all, I really can't see that anyone has been deliberately rude, mendacious or irresponsible as regards the issues raised. The nicest thing to do (and the most sensible) would be to just let this debate fizzle out now.
What does seem to be obvious is that these kind of photographic issues need to be addressed before a meet, not after.
Can someone tell me when the next one is going to be. I think that I will have money then as I have just started a new job.

But I never! I only looked at a darkened montage of anonymous censored faces and put some celebrity names to them.

It really isn't anything personal Godot, I just thought these were supposed to be private.
Was I? I really don't remember being rude. Sorry I've upset you, it really wasn't what I was trying to get across.

The password should, maybe, just be PM'd to the relevant people as previously done. Even if it's in Pictionary form. But if people do find it out through other members, maybe they could just look and not post them.
Well if someone called me fugly I wouldn't be offended. The fact that people speak to me is a result in my world. Me being Welsh and everything
