Really? You were doing so well at sounding creditable before you had to put that last line in there about me not willing to discuss it, when.. as you see, I am writing back in an attempt of a discussion.
Now I agree, the comments may seem bad, but can one write this off as just being a part of the atitude of this thread? When one goes into a thread lets say about "vampires" one talks of darkness and feeding on the innocent. I find that the feeling around these threads is of highest levels of modesty being the norm. I do not share these feelings on any other thread that are not under this topic
By dismissing my comments, I feel that you showed pretty clearly you had no interest in discussing the matter. There's no need to stoop to ad hominem attacks.
I don't think that's the "attitude of the thread" as a majority of the people posting in this forum do not wear just lolita. Nor do I believe this excuses it, to be honest... Frankly, it feels a little hypocritical. As lolitas or lovers of lolita, we enjoy a fashion that's very far from the mainstream and are often made fun of for it. By putting others down- whether it be to their face or behind their backs- how are we going to convince them to accept us? As the old adage goes, you get more flies with honey than with vinegar... so by being more accepting of all others instead of remaining in our insular groups and gossiping or talking down about others behind their backs, I think we stand a better chance of gaining mainstream acceptance, which I'm sure we can agree all lolitas and lovers of the fashion would like to see ^^

I don't know what the point of the argument is, but please stop. No-one meant any offence, and I will apologise on their behalf as this is my forum post. Everyone is just so lovely, so... CONTINUE WITH THE LOLITA LOVE!! <3 <3 <3
I'm sorry the argument happened to break out in your thread; however, I think it's important that we not tolerate that kind of rude behavior here- even if it's rude to those not within our small group or who might see our posts. Everyone needs a gentle reminder now and then if their behavior is offensive, unintentionally or not, and skunkplayer's comments did get a little out of hand. If we want to be treated with respect, we need to treat others with respect, even if they're not watching us or looking at us ^^
