Wow!!! It looks like I missed all of the fun. Lucia, I am very strict in my standards of dress code but I do not see that your clothing in your avatar is indecent. Maybe the guy thinks you are attractive and doesn �t know how to approach you so instead he REPROACHES you. :) It �s like my Ss getting negative attention to get noticed. Weird huh? Like we say in America: consider the source.
Lucia, you look pretty well to me, and thus, what does it have to do with your work and colaboration for this site. I �m sorry about those who can �t focus into work but find anything less important to bother. just be who you are....and keep up with the good work.
I am really sorry to read about Luisa �s incident. I certainly agree with my dear friend Silke remarks in both cases. I agree with Domnitza also, that is everyone �s prerogative to put or not their avatar. For example, in Domnitza �s case, I have been able to see Didi (her son) growing up through the pictures that he uploads as her avatar, and I think thas is great!, her choice, our blessing :) (because we learned to know each other, and create a stronger bond among community members). We need to understand that we come from different cultures with different customs, with smallest differences, and huge ones. However what I love more about this community is that we leave those differences behind and we care more about that we have in common: our love for teaching, and for making this world a different place through education.
Dear Lucia, you look perfectly good in the picture so don �t pay so much attention to this rude person �s comments. There are such people everywhere and we meet them around us every day. It �s more important to turn your back to them and ignore them. We can �t get rid of them, unfortunately, but the thought that so many people support you and appreciate you and your work is much more important than the comments of a mean person. So, look ahead and remember there are more people who are kind and helpful than rude ones in the world.
Am I missing something here? What was posted to support Lucia? A message from this same member to you, Nabila? Or perhaps from the same country, "two" members says Bouabdellah ( �goodnesses �) (- btw - good night every body - great!!! )
Maybe it �s not such a good idea to paste on the picture and the flag of these sick people - because after all they are individuals and not spoksmen or representative of their countries or their cultures. I think it �s fine and normal to complain on the forum and receive support, we �re friends after all, but the harasser should be reported directly to Victor and the p.m. box blocked of course. I �m not sure that there is a need to "hang him in public" and lead to conclusions of the type "that´s the way they are"... because we are never a "they" - we are a "he" or a "she" - we are individuals.
I understand that Lucia got very upset, I would have been as upset of course, but I would think twice before pasting on the name, picture, flag and exact words on this forum. Just a thought.
