Banned escalation

I've gotten banned for hearting pics like you posted. Even remember seeing in chat from a mod saying " I don't know why people post nude pictures in here" this is a nudist chat room correct?

Let me try to lay out, without judgement, my best understanding of the mindset that could wonder why people post nude pictures in chat on a nudist website.

Imagine that, for years, you've frequented nude social spaces, all genders / ages / body types, to the point where the nakedness, or not, of a body holds no interest for you, except where you might have a doubt about whether a space is going to be comfortable for you and for the other person for social nudity.

Think about general behaviors in the real, physical world of clothed people. .Conversation is conducted with people looking at one another's faces (or sometimes, for men, with both looking at a fixed point in front of them, as at a bar); when conversation lags, one looks away. It's generally insensitive to comment on people's bodies. It's rude to stare. One offers a self-portrait only if one is famous enough to autograph it, or is offering it to one's mother for her mantel. Sexually suggestive behavior is private, and very sensitive to context. Classical social nudity is premised on the convention that the same behaviors apply among naked people.

ALL of these behaviors commonly differ online.

A person grounded in social nudity and hoping for an ordinary social interaction, seeing these differences, may feel that difference as a profound loss.
