Alright, folks. I appreciate passions. CIVIL passions. If you can't be civil, you get edited. If we have to edit much, you get removed.
Even when I *agree* with you.
@TTD - Your situation makes my old hospital stays seem trivial, brother. Then again, you're FAR more the physically durable type, as I recall. I expect you'll be fully mobile in no time and only you and those of us that have known ya back when will have a hot clue that you used to bounce around like a kinked, adult-sized Tigger. Kick ass and take names, man.
Oh, and, by way of perspective, models aren't all extroverts, and aren't all into this. Some just handle being tickled really well, and have lives outside of here. They took a gig being tickled for 30 minutes or longer, for dime, in many cases. Means they needed dime enough to do a shoot.
Says they gotta work full time, too, else how are they living and looking good (which requires food, rest, and a sane lifestyle).
@All - IF they're here, AND they respond to others, AND you get no response, personal or public, then yes, I might feel annoyed. So I'd say so, politely, and decline to buy such products. That, brothers and sisters, is how one deals with a commercial venture. They're only your friends if they make the effort, else they're sales. *shrug* Positive sales efforts avoid tweaking people. It's hard to not reply as the owner of the venture if the model can't. It's also not something we're taught in school or at home. Wanna help? Ping the owner and express polite disappointment, and ask if someone would please reply.
