You've used the same argument on me...I was referring to the men that wanted it posted but were too chicken shit to do it in return. You beg for it but when it's time to post up you cower down like a bitch. That's expected, though. ;)
You should have made the assesment what you have to lose or gain by doing it versus not doing it.
I've made the same assesment for myself. You know the outcome. I know how the internet works, what the impact of such a picture of me can be if it is posted on the net. Trust me, my decision is correct for my situation. This is something you can impossible assess.
You and I are in completely different situations, why would it be reasonable to expect the same behaviour from both of us?
