> I'd like you to consider something; seeing the backsides of two people was a shock, considering that not too long ago, in my recent memory, in fact, within the last couple of years, there was a rear-end experience that many babblers had to see, unfortunately, and I was completely triggered by this photo and unfortunately, didn't realize it until afterwards. So that is why I posted it was unattractive. It was far too reminiscent of what recently happened here, which was a Crime. A true crime. A crime which was really really sick, and when I come onto Babble, I still wonder what photo I'm going to see.
Thanks for explaining. I'm sorry you were triggered, and about what happened here before. But I consider you-statements like:
> it was unattractive.
to be uncivil, whereas I consider I-statements like:
> seeing the backsides of two people was a shock
> I was completely triggered by this phototo be civil. Here's a post by Dinah about the difference that might help:

Please don't post anything that could lead others (such as those who have religious faith) to feel put down.
But please don't take this personally, either, this doesn't mean I don't like you or think you're a bad person, and I'm sorry if this hurts you. I hope that you choose to remain a member of this community and that this community helps you, if needed, to avoid future blocks.

Thanks,
