Why I quit

The Bottom Line I feel strongly that this type of material does not belong here. This will be my last posted opinion here until this material is removed from the site.

I got an email a few days ago from a friend who wanted to know why I no longer write any reviews. My reasons are many but I thought I would share my "opinion" with others. When Epinion's changed the site I found it a little hard to navigate, I did get use to the site but have yet to post anything. I have several reviews waiting to be posted but just lost track of time with other things going on in my life. Once the email notifications started up again I thought I would start posting more again and then I got a bad rating. While bad ratings are not a new thing I do like to try to find out why someone would have done this. I checked out the member's profile and was utterly disgusted to find an extremely pornographic picture posted on the member's information. I immediately sent Epinion's an email about the member's posted picture and got back a response about just using the block option and "tools" provided (something like that). I was going to refuse to post anything here until this type of material was removed from this site.

The offending member is savoyeur and he/she/it is still on this site. That offending picture is still here. If you can stomach very foul and obscene material I urge you to also report this to Epinion's. I would like to start writing and posting on a regular basis again but feel that this type of material has no place here. If I am wrong please send me comments on this.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.
