I can no longer in good conscience be part of a community which is supported by pornographic ads and banners.  This has continued to be an issue for me, especially for the past few years, but when I came in by "the front door" today, I was absolutely disgusted.  I'm fairly certain that my complaining (because I have before) or my leaving will not change the choice of ads/banners Renderosity chooses to display.  Pornography using real models is demeaning and immoral, in my opinion, and because the models are computer-generated doesn't make the display a lesser issue for me.  Pornography is reprehensible and a destroyer of lives- of children, adults and families.  There is no gray area- no middle ground for me.

My friendships here mean a great deal to me, and I apologize if I'm letting any of you down.  I will miss so many here, but several consider friends have my email addresses, and I have yours.  Please keep in touch.  I have especially been concerned about our friend, Dirk Monteny.  Please let me know how he's doing, if you know.  For those of you who don't have my email addresses, you can write to either fractalinda@yahoo.com or lindalmcc@gmail.com .

All the best to each of you.

Linda
