Perhaps this is a good place for me to express a competitive thought. I see on various forums the ideation that tan lines define a "not for real nudists". "A real nudist would not have tan lines." The remarks are often very strongly worde and prejorative.
I feel that instead of putting down those with tan lines, we should feel sorry for them. We should have empathy, sympathy, and understanding.
I live on a small farm near an inland lake and have plenty of opportunities to enjoy the sun as I enjoy it most... naked. I have imperceptible, if any, tan lines at all. i am a "happy camper".
But most American live in the metropolice. If they live in an appartment, their neighbors may be only 6 inches away. If they live in the suburbs their neighbors may be only 20 feet away! If they work a 9-5 job, have a residence to maintain, and other mundane duties, they may not bre able to get away to a secluded spot for nude sun exposure. They may well still be "good nudists". They may be nude whenever they can and enjoy it imensely. The opportunity to get away to a resort or nude beach may occur only 2-3 times a year. Tan lines tell me that these folks are at least getting outside some, even if under restrictive conditions.
A nudist with limited opportunities is still a nudist!!!!!!!! We should feel sorry for them and not condem them. Lets welcome them and give them support. We are not all equally fortunate.
some feel that at nudist should be an activist. NOT SO. Some, like myself, have very sensitive jobs that preclude public knowledge of their nudity. So just because you are not an evangelical activist does that make you not a nudist? I think not.
WELCOM TO ALL WHO PREFER TO BE NUDE AS OFTEN AS FEASABLE WITHIN ACCEPTABLE RISKS.

Agreed! I can't remember where, but there is a post about tan lines somewhere. You should C&Pyour comment/replyto it if you can find it!
For some people a troll is anyone who disagrees with them.
How right you are. I imagine that most of us disagree with a LOT of ideas. And , to me, discussing your ideas is a good thing. You are never gonna see things differently if someone doesn't disagree with you. But, like you said, some use the troll word for anyone who don't agree with their line of thinking....
Maybe there should be a 'troll-o-meter' whereby if one makes an insulting post to others, it bounces back with the 'troll-o-meter' needle reading into the red saying something like "Whooaah! That is a very trolling post you've put there. Please modify it and try again". ;-)
