Last night I posted a shot of our son taken during a rest break on patrol in Afganistan. Within an hour, one if my own watchers made a comment about 'baby killers' and how they should come home in ' bodybags'

I could not hide the comment, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

But I did not want a pro / anti war debate either, so I deleted the photo.


I have serious reservations about staying  on this site

Jesu... what a cretin...

I'm sorry you had to see such an infantile and asinine response to your posted photo. My younger cousin returned home from his tour there last year.

Just remember, the anonymity of the internet brings out the "Jerk Response" in waaaaay too many users.

My best wishes for your son and I hope he returns safe and well from his mission. :)

I'm sorry for your upset and truly understand second thoughts about this site. BUT, because you can block the negative, I think you should resubmit the photo of your son.
It looks like most of your comments are supportive...include this as support. PLEASE resubmit your son's pic!

There are wankers of all shapes and sizes out there with opinions that are abhorrent to the 99.9% of us sensible souls. Report the shite to dA and get him booted off the site.

Stay strong xx

I am so sorry to hear that. I know some people on this site just like to stir up trouble and make comments trying to make someone feel bad. I can usually laugh them off when they are directed towards me but when it comes from someone who had you on their friends list it can be more hurtful. Everyone is somebody's baby. Making a veiled threat against your baby (no matter how grown) makes that person a baby killer. I don't understand why people think it is OK to post something they would never say in person.

Try not to let other people influence your art or your feelings in a negative way. Block them and keep posting. If you leave you will make many people very sad. God bless you and your son!
