I'm not deleting my journal. (1) It's my lifeline, (2) I have a permanent account anyway, and (3) I'm a wimp.

In other news, I've recently been called a Militant Attachment Parent. Pass the camo gear, please.

Typical LJ drama.

without wishing to appear in any way to condone lj's apparent fit of truly pathetic coyness over photo-icons of human mammaries fulfilling their prime purpose,

it does rather seem to be something of
a storm in a c-cup...

Yes and no. Had LJ gone 'no tits, full stop', then I'd have been far less irritated by it.

Instead, they amended their TOS to say 'no nudity'. Which wipes out a significant additional chunk of visual expression at a stroke, to my considerable discomfort.

Free speech and so forth; I might not have any particular feelings about the topic in question, but if I don't stand up for what I perceive as a breach (even if it doesn't affect me directly), then I really don't merit any support if someone decides to take offence to my normal userpic at some point in the future.

The nipple thing? I was happy to use a photo of me feeding Holls as my default icon for a couple of weeks as it was taken from a distance & nothing is on view. I hadn't realised that they had been suspended as I'm not in the community where it all kicked off, I saw a link from the loos.

What purpose does a group of us suspedning our ljs for 1 day serve?

As you, I get a lot out of lj & if I ever decided to suspend mine, it'll be for a reason personal to me. I do go through phases of taking a week's break from it when something or someone has peed me off & I don't use it while on holiday, so will have a 10 day break shortly.

I was rather hoping your next icon thingy has a camoflauge sling on it.

Um, I'm so sleepy that I first read this comment as "I hope I get big boobs."

LMAO.

My next door neighbour came across a photo of me in my early 30's this afty, so 7 / 8 years or so ago & said where on earth are your boobs? I was an A cup then before mother nature stepped in. I admired my slim tummy too in the photo :/

I'm not deleting either. I'd be really lonely without LJ and I don't want to switch to Greatestjournal.

I'm not quite sure what this is EXACTLY about but it seems from the comments as though someone has complained about a picture of a nipple, and probably a breastfeeding nipple at that.
Let she/he who is without nipples cast the first stone, say I. Breastfeeding is a perfectly normal activity and how people can be shocked by it in 2006 I really don't know.
I'm not quite sure how to leave comments on this blog so I hope this works.
