Home Forums Etc... Related Issues Photo hosting...

If anyone is using www.mypicgallery.com to host there photos I ask that you boycott them and delete your photos. I was using them and they banned me becuase I had photos of myself breastfeeding my child. Mind you these photos were all with clothing on from the waist down and a bra on top. You see more on the beach. They said that my photos are grouped with the PORN and it being a family site they could not have that kind of photographs on there site. Please pass this along to all breastfeeding moms.

Dear Robin,

How dreadful!!! Please feel free to post your photos here. When you post you'll notice a box "I want to preview my post and/or attach a file" Check the box and then attach your file.

I have contacted the above site and sent the following email to them:

Dear Sirs/Madames,

One of the members from my website www.asklenore.info was banned from posting her photos on your website because she was breastfeeding her infant in the photo. This mother spent many months inducing lactation and wanted to share her success with her family and friends. Your conduct is dehumanizing and humiliating to this mother. To imply that her photos were somehow pornographic and that breastfeeding in some way injures family values is rediculous and sends the wrong message to every breastfeeding mother and baby out there.

Sincerely yours,

Hope this helps. Fondly,

I don't blame them! Who wants to see YOUR breasts anyhow??? NOT me. Good job MyPicGallery!

Scorp, it is people like you that give ignorance it's face. If you knew anything you would know this isn't about seeing someones breasts, but about nourishing a child in the best way possible.

Ditto! Lalle.. .well said!

Attention SCORP!!

We do not tollerate the bashing of breastfeeding or breastfeeding mothers on this site. You are hereby banned from posting on this website. We have a zero tollerance for posts such as yours.

Go Lenore! This is the best, most supportive board and I'm glad to see that respect is required to post ... what a concept!

Thanks Chris,

One of the administrative functions that comes with the programing of these message boards is the ability to ban a user or IP address. And since SCORP is not registered, I banned their IP address. So hopefully we won't hear from them again. But if they should sneak through, I'm prepared to delete their posts. I left this one up for the time being so everyone can see what type of post is considered unacceptable. I'm planning on deleting it soon because it is so insulting to Robin....Robin, thank you for your patience...

I want all the ladies on this site to feel as safe and secure as possible in spite of the fact that these are public posts. We do count on a certain measure of privacy.

Fondly,
