OK, and I can get that, but why e-mail back swearing at the person and hoping they burn in hell? I'm not saying you have to like the site or idea or whatever, I really don't care if you do. I just think the things said were hurtful and unnecessary.

Why get down on this site? Okay Kristi, I'll give my 2 cents here.
The reason I (and I'll bet most) joined this group is people having something in common, sharing information, telling of conquests we have made in the battles of SCI. And even sharing a joke or two. For me, couple folks from here have even become contacts on a level outside this yahoo group. And on the other side, some exchanges have gotten a little robust.
However, I'll bet most DIDN'T join this to get dragnet solicitations from the gimp modeling agency. With the simplest searches through Google or Bing, you can find such places in seconds. It's one of those "dont call us, we'll call you" things.
It's tough enough to keep groups together for the intended purposes, and solicitation wasn't the intended purpose.

OK, I can understand your disgust with devotees, however these people do it for their own reasons. I do it for my own reasons. I'm not doing it for devotees, I'm doing it because modeling makes ME feel good, I know that even though I'm an incomplete para, I'm still attractive and wanted. I'm still the same person from before, and I have enough self confidence to know that it's not "disgusting" if I choose to model. I'm no longer applicable for suicide girls as I once was, and to me and many of the other girls it's the same concept. Believe it or not, if a devotee wants to look at your pics, they're going to. Even with tough security, not everyone is who they say they are. Again, I completely understand your distaste for devs, however why punish the creator of a site that allows models to be just that, models? Who else or where else could disabled people be models? They rarely use actual disabled people in modeling when they need a
disabled
model as is. And the owner of the site created it because she understood that. She is very beautiful, but because she's disabled her dreams of modeling were crushed, so she created this site to empower some of those that feel the same as her. Some of the models share your opinion about devs by the way. Why is it that only a devotee would enjoy the pictures? Art and modeling is just that. In a lot of the sets, it's not obvious that there is a disability. Even if you don't agree with the site, that is TOTALLY your right, however why e-mail the owner cruel hurtful things such as swearing at them. How would you feel if someone did that to you simply because you somehow don't fit their views (such as being disabled. How would you like it if someone said those things to you because of your disability and yes there are people out there that feel that way about the disabled). I have said my bit, I'm sure it doesn't matter. My main point being tolerance... ...if
you don't like something, ignore it.....or don't model. It's pretty simple...... .

I checked out their myspace Kristi. I am not high and mighty and I do not believe disabled persons are non-sexual. I think it is disgusting because of all the "devotees" out there. It's like sex with a midget, it's a freakish infatuation. I for one do not want to be one of the fools posting myself on sites like that to be a jerk off for some devotee!

What's the problem? What's wrong with GGW asking about anyone that might like to model? Do you see disabled people as non-sexual beings? Or perhaps as not worthy or pretty enough to be models? Did you even check out the site? Just saying, before you become judgmental and have a high and mighty attitude, maybe you should learn about things, take the time to gain knowledge instead of judging something that you are ignorant to.
