  [quote]I am always surprised by comments that certain nudists make when they see clothing on someone.  What I was wondering, though, concerns the friends of these "militant nudists."  I am almost certain that many of these friends are textiles.  How many of these textile friends showed compassion and caring to the budding nudist?  How did this militancy come about? I, personally, don't care if someone is clothed so long as I can go about my life in the nude.  Isn't that the way it should be?  I look forward to reading comments from people.[/quote]   I was always told it is more about being comfortable with yourself (in your own skin) and who you are, and have the FREEDOM dress the way you wish.... That said.... I would wonder about the guy in the three piece suit and dark sunglasses hanging out at the nudist camp... however, where I go to express my freedom and be nude, no would ever say anything to me if I had clothes on (they might crack a joke or two after a while) and I wouldn't expect it to be any different on TN... the pictures you post are YOUR pictures that YOU are sharing... it should always be your choice as to your attire, whether it be clothed or nude... I haven't seen posted anywhere that you MUST publicly post nude photos to be part of TN. I think anyone that comments "you look great in your clothes, now lets see you get naked" (or anything similar) should be automatically flagged! I won't even get into the "sexual" comments that people make, makes me cringe every time I read one... If you wouldn't say it in a "real life" setting... it has no place to be said here...

  [quote] I, personally, don't care if someone is clothed so long as I can go about my life in the nude.  Isn't that the way it should be?  [/quote]  I agree.  I would rather see a clothed picture than an inappropriate nude picture and I respect that individual's choice.  Regarding textile friends (not in the cyber-world) none of the friends I have told of my nudist life have made adverse comments.  Most have no interest in participating in nudism but they respect my choice to do so. I don't think caring and compassion come into it but I don;t thimk it is a big deal to them.

  The Simpsons didn't exactly have Canada apologize for Céline Dion, but there was a sign at the border crossing that said, "Welcome to Canada; Now Céline-Dion-Free!"
