4. Lol!

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

2. I would ask them if it was alright. nt

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. Yes.

Of course.

Some folks say you should have their permission, and some won't post pics of children...

I do pics all the time.

It's really fun!

The Lounge is full of such pic threads...

Come have a look!

:hi:

5. I'd say yes

But only if the person says yes.

6. What if the freepers track her down?

-- get permission from your loved one before posting his or her picture

-- freepers have been known to try to find the real identities of DU'ers and harass them, in a few cases actually getting DU'ers fired.

8. Personally, I wouldn't... however

I see DUers posting pics of their loved ones all of the time. I was just curious if they had any concern.

16. In sincerely doubt it.

99.99% of them would never get further than tripping over the molded potato chip crumbs and bacon grease on their basement floors.

7. What would Facebook be

without pics of loved ones? Boring, that's what!

10. Only with that person's permission.

If you don't have it, you're completely out of line putting someone's picture on the Internet without his or her permission.

[demmiblue]

11. OK... why would you post a picture of your child?

I guess that that is really my question.

Who does that? And Why?

There is one who has their child's pic in their sig. How bizarre.

[Peacetrain]

13. If you are curious, it would behoove you to contact that person privately

and not start this in a public forum.. Doing something like this in a public forum is what I consider bizarre. edit for spelling

15. who the fuck cares?

see that pile of stuff over there? That's your business.

mind it.

[DangerousRhythm]

19. If you're talking about who I think you are...

The young child in her sig is now a college grad, as I recall reading once...

I personally see nothing bizarre about it. I think it's sweet. :)

20. I am not sure if you are referring to me or not. If so, please

feel free to PM me if you have a problem with it. And really even if you aren't talking about me, I don't see why it is any of your concern what picture anyone chooses to post. And why would you basically call out those of use who do choose to post our pics in sig lines?

[Peacetrain]

21. I would post a picture of my baby, but since he is 22 and a member of the DU

I had better not. :), hate to be called out by my own son in here.. Your baby is a cutie by the way

[Shell Beau]

22. Thanks!

That is cool that you and your son are both DU members!

[Maine-ah]

23. I guess I don't understand why it's so "bizarre"

:shrug:

[rocktivity]

12. If the loved one gives you permission

I suppose so...
