Selective Amnesia There was a point to this. But I forgot.

Why do I still blog?

Why, because I can get comments like this one, of course. In my hours of gloom and despair, I just have to read Ashok, and others of his ilk, and the world is once more a bright place.

Ashok, replying to my post about an alternative to Flickr, says:

Oh, shut up. Whiner.

Point #2 is bullshit. I receive my flickr comments in indiatimes just fine.

As for the rest… The fact that Flickr is still the most used photo sharing site says it all. Censorship is important after a while. I remember my younger brother accidentally stumbling onto a BDSM pic on Flickr that shocked him out of his skull. Now I don’t know how this is acceptable to you, but it sure as hell not acceptable to millions out there.

So yeah, leave Flickr. Go put your “safe” pictures in pBase or anywhere else and see how long they’ll tolerate it.

Besides, if your pictures are safe… what the hell is your problem? And if they aren’t, do the world a favor and quit flickr.

Thank you, dear Ashok. I have learnt my lesson, and have eaten the humble pie. I shall no more whine.
