Thank you! But I really need to point out that I’m am part of a team and there are several other CC members who have been and will work very hard to make an INF-FNI that, with the federations, promotes and support naturism throughout the world!

was appealed several time and never reinstated, we’re not holding our breath
Twitter moderation is definitely broken. So much for the whole free speech idea.
@BareOaksPark
and
@NaturistLiving
are both still banned. Multiple appeals and no response.
My wife's Twitter has been locked for a week for posting a baby picture. She appealed the ban. I mentioned it to
@TwitterSupport
. I mentioned it to
@ElonMusk
. Zero response.
Instagram etc have no prob with the same pic.
You can put *porn* on Twitter, but not a baby? Bad policy.
@JoNMattJay
I keep asking the same question but I never get an answer: what harm comes to children when they see nudity? So many people seem to agree that it’s a problem yet can’t explain the danger.
It’s not just
@BareOaksPark
that seems to be the target of the narrow-minded, puritan algorithm. I am assuming that it’s a computer because I’d be very worried about a human who sees something dirty in that image.
Does this look like pornography to you,
@ElonMusk
? If you have a machine handing out bans for pictures that could be on a Hallmark Card, it's time to dial back the algorithm.
Just my opinion.
@_Hector_Mtz
For me, normalizing nudity is just a very small part of promoting naturism. I think that without the full explanation of the benefits of being free of clothing in a social setting, nudity just seems eccentric and capricious to the general public.

It’s nice that there are options for people. The most common compliment we get at Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park is that participation in naturism is expected of everyone. (we allow for an adjustment period for first time visitors) There’s no question it’s one of the reasons we

When I say that transit is much better in Europe, often the reply is that it's due distances being shorter. But it's not. It's an attitude. Here's a business park that could easily be in any North American city EXCEPT that it is much nicer.

Porn is created by the intention of the creator and/or the perception of the consumer. If a person gets turned on by bare feet then any such photos is porn for them regardless of the intent of the creator and publisher.
I’m seeing more and more Twitter polls. The problem is that so many are completely loaded. People either don’t understand objectivity or are being intentionally biased. Let me provide an example: Are you the only gullible person amongst your friends?

It worked for me. Terrible migraines caused by a subdural hematoma. A little hole in my skull and I was back to normal. I kept saying they were doing a trapanning but they insisted on calling it a craniotomy.

The issue should be consent not censorship. In a global discussion forum the definition of porn varies; it should be up to the individual to decide based on their values. e.g. I might not want to see women in string bikinis because I find that more pornographic than mere nudity.

Sieglinde and I had to speak and agree. I feel confident it will work. There is a lot of work to be done. This will split the duties (we will agree on the division) and ensure a smooth transition. With the new limit of two terms, she couldn’t be re-elected in 3 years anyways.

Many people wanted change in the leadership in 2016 and they want it still today. This year should have seen an election for president but the pandemic go in the way. I would like to think that my report had some influence in 2016:

There are a few places/languages where that is the case. But whatever word you use, the key is to define it and then forever keep promoting the definition because others will continuously try to change it.

Parts of the ship were too cold but main areas were fine. It was like that 5 years ago too. (same ship) Swingers are always around but generally didn’t notice them - they kept their activities quiet. Saw a few outrageous people but out of 2,000 it wasn’t a big deal.

It will most certainly make the transition easier. The current statutes do not provide for transition time. (something to fix) Of course that does not take 3 years. But there are many things to do and two leaders working together should make that easier.

When I’m in Paris, I can get to Marseille (downtown to downtown) in 3 and a half hours for a 775km trip. The view is beautiful, lots of legroom, there’s cell service the whole time, and I can wander to the bar car.

That is of course if we agree on the definition of pornographic: to me it means that it is sexually arousing. But I am staying away from any concept of indecency as that is a different subject. Not everyone is offended by pornography.
@OurNaturistLife
@nakedwanderings
Oh I see. My view is different. A Volvo would indeed be porn, in my opinion, if viewed by a person with a Volvo fetish. It would be porn to them but not to the rest of us. That’s why it’s pretty much impossible to define because it’s based on what arouses a person.

I do agree that the INF-FNI should be present on social media but in my opinion only with news about what the organization itself is doing. To effectively promote naturism to all countries, cultures, and in all languages is too big of a job for a small org.

As I said, I’m not debating on Twitter. But since you asked me a direct question: I wasn’t aware of the allegations against Tim. Next time I chat with him I’ll ask. Perhaps other will say that it is well known but I don’t have time to follow all the social media discussions.
@NikkiFalk1
There were models on the ship for the photography group. It’s a SIG that spends most of their time developing their skills. Heard after the fact that some got COVID but it didn’t seem like a lot. Generally a fun cruise with great people.

There is, but it often depends on the perception of the consumer. That’s my point, the imagery is often innocent because it is the consumer that makes it into porn. But there is also imagery made to be porn because of the intent of the creator.

There is nothing simple about bringing people together from dozens of countries each with its own culture and representing a multitude of languages. Humanity is complicated!

Yes of course we can just do it but without explaining the benefits, we just look like crazy people which makes it harder to gain tolerance and acceptance.

I don’t think there’s a simple list with sources. But there are many academic books and studies out there. The most recent ones being from Dr Keon West.

I think it makes you realize that censorship impossible because almost anything can be considered porn if it arouses someone. The object of concern becomes the consumer not the imagery itself.

It is interesting that anyone would be upset by my report. It does not criticize anyone personally. It simply offers an alternative direction for the organization. These should be points for discussion and debate not anger.
@Dogoegma
I really like the idea (I’m a fan of cartoons or BD in French) but that would best be done at the country level through your federation. The INF-FNI is funded by the federations and coordinates their efforts which helps amplify their voices.
@OurNaturistLife
@_Hector_Mtz
The INF is a federation of federations. While it is possible to be a direct member, that’s not its purpose. It exists to bring together the various countries and to support the federations.
@ToplessTopics
The fact you are writing all this means you do feel it. But because you lost someone close previously, you may have adapted to death. I lost my first wife when I was 28. Now I am much more calm about death. It does not mean I don’t feel it but it might look that way.
