With any photo editing software this can be faked, too. In fact there's been at least one faker at LPSG who did this. Erica-something..
I'm real, but there's absolutely no way to prove it, and I really don't care if any of you believe me or not. In fact I'd say you're smarter not to believe me or anyone else for that matter.
Agreed NineInch. Remember the addage:

Whereas I highly doubt anyone would go to these degrees here, you never know who has what at their disposal. As SP said in another thread, they are getting better about their fakery.
As to friend DeeBlackthorne, I think your idea is good and noble in theory so I have posted a picture to support your cause. The problem with your theory is that inadvertently you give the Proof Posse even greater ground to mount their stand. So now a long time member will be considered fake for not producing a pic.
The unfortunate part of this is it's a lose - lose. New members may shun the sight for fear of being judged too heavily on their pics. Then the site doesn't flourish because people no longer want anything to do with it because it becomes all about pictures.
Over in the Veronica Divine - woman thread I posted my disgust for the picture issue and probably didn't bring what I was trying to say out clearly.
My point was I am insecure about my looks and I had a large penis issue which I got resolved by talking to members on this site (the main one being Veronica) and reading past posts. I am truthful, I think the majority of the regulars here are. We've talked on the phone with each other, shared drinks and meals with each other and have bonded even stronger because of the interaction from this forum.
The more the faker/picture issue carries on, the more angry I get at the person who made me reveal when I was trying to escape reality a bit. Face it, there are people out there that have hideous lives. We see them on the news every night, bruised and bloody from spousal abuse. Shot inadvertenly for being in the wrong office or mall at the wrong time. Enduring a life of ridicule for whatever reason. The net, even for the most truthful, is an escape from one's reality for a little bit.
People always ask why I am so peaceful and share my experiences so openly, because I have been at a point in my life where living a fantasy was more appealing than the day to day. Did I go down that path? No, because another peaceful woman in another forum long ago was gentle and comforting to me.
I'll make this promise. If there is a fake that has been talking to me and has become close to me, feel free to tell me you are and I will not publicly out you and candidly talk it out if you need to.
Dee, you have a heart of gold brother. I applaud you for that and your peaceful ways as well.
