"Lest thine eye offend thee" This is the picture that got me kicked off of F.B. for two weeks. I reposted it when they sent it to me as a memory, the S.O.B.s! As you see, there were no "naughty bits" visible. When they let me back on I "fixed" it and sent it back. 
B.T.W., the picture was taken in about 1982. That was me on the left. I have lived in Menorca, on and off since 1976, and the beaches there are still "clothing optional".

Apparently "Agnostic" isn't either.
Heere bigynneth the Pardoners Tale
In Flaundres whilom was a compaignye
Of yonge folk, that haunteden folye,
As riot, hasard, stywes, and tavernes,
Wher as with harpes, lutes, and gyternes
They daunce and pleyen at dees, bothe day and nyght,
And eten also and drynken over hir myght,
Thurgh which they doon the devel sacrifise
Withinne that develes temple in cursed wise,
By superfluytee abhomynable.
Hir othes been so grete and so dampnable
That it is grisly for to heere hem swere.
Oure blissed lordes body they totere -
Hem thoughte that Jewes rente hym noght ynough -
And ech of hem at otheres synne lough.
And right anon thanne comen tombesteres,
Fetys and smale, and yonge frutesteres,
Syngeres with harpes, baudes, wafereres,
Whiche been the verray develes officeres
To kyndle and blowe the fyr of lecherye,
That is annexed unto glotonye.
The hooly writ take I to my witnesse,
That luxurie is in wyn and dronkenesse.

I'm a bit rusty on Chaucer, but prithee, what part do I play in this little scenario, and why was it originally posted by the very person I thought I had blocked, and whom are you, if I may ask. Methinks it is meant to be some kind of a lesson. Apparently "Agnostic" is some sort of a private club of which I am not a member. I don't like cults any more than I do religion. Just tell me and I will leave, or kick me out like Facebook. I have no desire to be a "patsy".
@fishline79 Mayhaps it's a facetious reference to your earlier discussion on prescriptivism vs descriptivism.
Post whatever comes to mind my dear fellow, and enjoy all and any responses.
@waitingforgodo I don't see the connection, but you didn't answer my question as to what part you play in this. Are you an administrator, responding to my message to "Contact"? By the way, what is the meaning of your user-name reference to Beckett. Does it mean you are waiting to "go do" something?
@fishline79 Relax. Post what you want to.
@waitingforgodo Thank you, I will. I was considering dropping out because of the increasing intolerance which seems to be mounting in recent months. Many people seem to take offense at any opinion with which they don't agree, but instead of telling me why, they resort to hurling epithets and insults. I welcome contrary opinions and healthy debate, but it's as if I were trying to defend my point of view to a Jehovah's Witness! Have you noticed that lately there seems to be at least one mass shooting almost daily in this country? (that's rhetorical, of course)
Appearing nude on a clothing optional beach is not the same as consenting to having your image recorded in that state of undress. This picture was taken from behind the woman, she may not even have known it was taken. Do you have a record of her having consented to being photographed at the time and consent for her image to be distributed publicly?

Fuck you, you impertinent cow! We were all best of friends. I am in the picture, something you would know if you had read the comment. Why don't you quit following my posts and criticizing them. Apparently you are jealous and follow me around for a prurient thrill! Go masturbate if that gets you off! Mind your own fucking business and stop harassing me. I wish I could block you, but I have looked everywhere and I see no way. By the way, this was taken in a FREE country, (Spain) and not this puritanical shit-hole of a country. They don't have God on their currency and don't require children to "pray" to a flag.
@fishline79 If you conducted yourself respectfully toward the people around you, there would be nothing to criticize.
The problem here is Zuck's use of AI because I see many things there all the time that show more than your original picture. I think it all depends on whether the AI catches you or not. His AI got me one time for making a remark about women scammers on MeetMe. The thing is, the scammers may not be women but claim to be women. I took a hit for making that remark and had to remove the post but I went back in 3 or more times later to reword things and say it all again.
