A note to those who comment here.

Dear Surface Ripple readers,

Thanks for visiting my site. I welcome feedback on all of my thoughts posted here whether you agree or disagree with my various opinions.

However please know that if your response links to a website that shows pictures of scantily clad, nude or otherwise over-sexualized women (or men for that matter), I will remove your comment no matter how insightful, funny, or relevant you have been.

I take personal offense to pictures which only exist to sexually arouse disconnected viewers. The unconditional value of the individuals in such photos is too important to disregard it by supporting their consenting or unconsenting exploitation.

If you have a comment that you would like to leave, and you insist on using your own website in the aforementioned way, then please avoid linking to your site in my comments.

Thanks for understanding,

Erin
