Potentially Upsetting Content The Picture That Got Me Banned From A Facebook Group

[Brian Moore]

Some years ago I posted this picture to some Facebook group I once belonged to (can't recall the name of it but I think it was having to do with street photography). I think I titled it "A Picture of My Dog Sadie" or something like that. Anyway, the admin of the group was apparently a sensitive soul who took offense and booted me for life. I was offended by this because nowhere in the group's rules did it say you couldn't post pictures of your dog.

Haha! Sorry for you and Sadie, Brian. Beautiful and timely catch no doubt.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Hilarious. Too sensitive, indeed.

I recall this picture. I suspect I commented on the palm tree and Sadie’s fine pose.

Thanks Gianluca.

You are a fine judge of poses, Sir!

You needed that leading line between the dog and the palm.

Purely coincidental, Gord.

this is highly offensive. i really can't believe you'd post it with a pier that obviously isn't level. thank god the facebook group had the good sense to ban you. even sadie looks disappointed.

The comments on this photo are very ironic and suggestive. This is understandable. An irony that underlines (perhaps without knowing it) the value of the photo, which to me seems very classic, but also creative, surreal, meditative, complex, out of time, in short artistic. I renew my Hugo High Five.

Please don't mention your observation to the Horizontal Police who frequent this forum because I'll never hear the end of it. I won't name names (@Pete Askew).
