I can't take credit for what follows. This was part of Philfreeeuk's reply to curiouscpl241's various posts wondering whywe come down so hard on erections shots and sexual banter. I'm posting it here in case the one who started the thread decides to leaveand takes the thread with them. The only changes are italics added by myself for emphasis:
In a perfect world, we could all do anything we pleased, and there would be no repercussions, sadly we are NOT in a perfect world, and we HAVE to conduct ourselves in a manner that will NOT put our rights to practise our beliefs AT RISK. The textile folk that oppose our beliefs, and strive to outlaw our way of life, are NOT bad people, they BELIEVE, that what we stand for IS immoral and disgusting, just as, many of US believe, just as strongly as them, that THEIR MISTAKEN VIEW of what we do and stand for, IS immoral and disgusting. Therefore, the problem is, THAT THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND US. If they DID, they would almost certainly JOIN US. For this reason alone, it is of the UTMOST importance that WE ALL do NOTHING to reinforce and confirm to them that their MISTAKEN beliefs of what naturism is all about are true. THAT IS WHY, we HAVE to disassociate ourselves from ANYTHING remotely connected to the sex industry, even though parts of it ARE (in many peoples view) just Wholesome, and innocent, harmless fun. Many nudists, seem to fail to understand this, and don't even realise, that their conduct, is the biggest threat, to the very lifestyle that they want to pursue.
