right will try and summarise.. My twins suffer from terrible mystery spots, i have posted about them quite frequently on here in a quest to find some answers as to what they may be. Anyway someone raised a possible cause as something called hydradenitis supperativa, so i did some research and joined a forum. I had to be approved to join and once i'd done so i posted the history etc and some pics (the same as on my profile).
Well anyway someone demanded the photos be taken down as they are porn graphic (deliberately mispelt) , now I'm sure any rational person will see there is nothing offesnive about these pics but the mods duly obliged and took them down. I feel shocked and really quite saddened by this hysteric response, AIBU?

In what way were they deemed offensive? Have you had any contact with the mods?

hunkermunker · 30/04/2008 22:29

How fucked up of them

Sorry you can't get answers re their skin. Have they been referred to a dermatologist?

southeastastra · 30/04/2008 22:29

not at all, see if the board moderators help you with the 'offended' person at all

Carmenere · 30/04/2008 22:30

Oh ffs Quad those pics are totally innocuous, you would have to have a sewer for a mind to find them porn graphic on your behalf.

you could see some knickers I think in one of the pics.
Hunker they have just had an appt with a derm but the spots are not present atm, so have to wait til they flare up again so a swab can be taken

Didn't want to ignore your post though know nothing about this. They don't look pornographic to me! They look like someone trying to collect evidence of a health condition of their DCs. So ignore them. Hope your DCs are ok.

a lot of people could see where offended person was coming from

also one person said it was too much for those who had been abused as children

Oh FGS! They are not remotely offensive. I'm sorry quadrophenia - that your children are suffering and then you get vilified for trying to help them out

PinkTulips · 30/04/2008 22:35

god, some people have horrible minds pics are fine quad

they look a bit like what i get when i get bitten by an insect i'm allergic to. i get a huge lump with a little scab in the centre.

southeastastra · 30/04/2008 22:35

they shouldn't be on the www if they feel that offended quad.

don't take it personally, but i would complain to the board.

hope you find out what they are

PeaMcLean · 30/04/2008 22:35

How very very sad that anyone should be offended by them.

yanbu

crazy hysterical irrational people obviously.

FourPlusOne · 30/04/2008 22:38

That is mad. Totally innocent pictures. Hope you get the spots isue sorted.

SNoraWotzThat · 30/04/2008 22:39

how sad that when you are seeking help you get that response.

they look like a bad reaction to horse fly bites
have you googled that?

theUrbanNixie · 30/04/2008 22:39

hmm - i can see where someone might be offended. but i don't think there's anything wrong with those pics at all.

some people will be offended at the sight of a child's care skin though

nametaken · 30/04/2008 22:39

sheesh, that sounds like some wierd forum you joined, I'd backtrack as fast as I could back to the loving arms of Mumsnet.
