Our friend The Feetosopher is a great collaborator of the Forum, sharing the beauty of her lovely, finest Italian barefoot beauties. I am not a big fan of the nudity pictures, but that doesn't change my opinion that he should stay here and that his posts are always welcome. The Feetoshoper is a great friend and a gentleman.

Thank you very much, nani.. don't worry, I am not the kind of guy who gets discouraged easily, and I can be quite of a hard-nosed son of a bitch, if needed..
I have my own idea of what the two wanted from me.. and I must conclude that I was stupid enough to give it to them.. it's called "visibility".
The true winners in all this sad fuss.. it's them. Not me.

Thank you so much, sir.. I take a deep breath of relief when I see that there are still some guys & gals around who believe in the "live and let live" philosophy..
P.S. In case you need some cucumbers for your salad, I have a wide choice of them.. including ones with added flavoring, if you so prefer..

Sir, you have my appreciation because - contrary to other people who voted against my presence in the forum - you bothered to express your views.
The wording of the question is correct, because the matter was posed in this way. Please read the concerned thread carefully.
This said, I am sorry to inform you that you have to accept the whole "Feetosopher package": I LOVE my BAREFOOT NUDITY project (BTW, like it or not, it's BAREFOOT NUDITY which funds BAREFOOT URBAN GIRLS, not the other way round), so in the (remote) possibility that I will quit posting DULY CENSORED promo stuff for BAREFOOT NUDITY, I will SURELY discontinue also the BAREFOOT URBAN GIRLS updates thread.
No big harm for anyone, as you all will have the "Idontwearshoes cornucopia of barefoot beauties" to feast on..
Sayonara..

Sir.. for your information, I have been taking pics of barefooting beauties since the fucking 1992AD (with an analog camera) and switched to digital photography in 2004.
I have been regularly supplying material to Toes-In-Action website since 2007.
I manage two paysites of my own since 2013.
I have THOUSANDS of followers on DeviantART and on Flickr (in spite of the fact that I barely update those spaces).

Now.. not to sound arrogant but.. do you seriously think that I can be "jealous" of a chap with 22 FOLLOWERS on Flicker and whose posts in his own blog range in the TWO to FIVE LIKES???
That guy showed no respect for me in spite of my 20-plus years of history as a barefootographer, he attacked me and he insulted me like I were a complete nobody.
Sorry, but I am not the kind of guy who can stand this without firing back.

Many thanks for your appreciation of my work and for your vote, sir.
Unfortunately, as I have already said, with me you have to take or leave the full package: I will be staying here only if I can advertise BOTH BAREFOOT NUDITY AND BAREFOOT URBAN GIRLS.
If - for whatever reason - I will no longer be allowed to post my DULY CENSORED PROMO STUFF for BAREFOOT NUDITY.. I will immediately erase also THE ENTIRE BAREFOOT URBAN GIRLS THREAD.
All the best!

Sorry sir, but also given my 20-plus years of history as a barefootographer, I cannot stand lack of respect by a chap who has started doing this yesterday.
Call me a hard-nosed Italian son of a bitch, but I am taking great pleasure in giving him the beating he fully deserves.. cheers!

Obrigado, amigo Sabalanu. You speak words of wisdom.
I have not started this mess, but sure I cannot stand lack of respect by a chap who has gone online two weeks ago. Ciao!

Muchas gracias de mi corazon, amigo.. many thanks from the heart!
Your favorable vote and your kind words are worth twice to me.. because of our long-standing friendship.. and because you are a MODERATOR of this forum.. i.e. the ONLY PERSON (with Paul and your colleagues) who can DECIDE ABOUT MY PRESENCE HERE and ABOUT THE APPROPRIATENESS OF MY POSTS in the forum.
You know that I am a peaceful guy, but you also know that I WILL NOT STAND LACK OF RESPECT TOWARDS ME.. and EVEN MORE SO BY A NEWBIE.
Hasta luego!

Feetstopher,

I love your work and sympathize with your anger and frustration, however you are getting caught up in a useless debate, as always the best way to deal with trolls is not to feed them. I think the best response is to do more of your fantastic work and post it. I think this is the best response, win with pictures!

I agree. I believe the Footosopher should win with pictures. I mean, except to a small subculture who prefers to see fully clothed women who don't wear shoes, and the even smaller sub-subculture who are interested in women who actually don't ever wear shoes as a lifestyle choice, his images ARE objectively more interesting.

I just wish there were a forum for people who belong to those subcultures to gather, share photos, and discuss their interests.

Dear sir, you are absolutely right. I was stupid enough to forget rule N. 1 in social networks: DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS!
Well, it's never too late to get back to the basics, so I will not reply to any post by AlteredDominant anymore (including the one above ).
I will just leave him alone in his pathetic attempts to rule over this forum.
This said, the results in the poll clearly show that there is a significant minority (much bigger than I thought, indeed) of forum members who would like to see me out of here for good.
I will definitely start a reflection about this, also considering that:
1) I am getting very few (if any) positive comments to my updates.. including the "clothed" ones for BAREFOOT URBAN GIRLS.
2) As you know, I can post UNCENSORED pics from BAREFOOT NUDITY updates in a DEDICATED THREAD in the "adult content" section at WU's FEET LINKS forum.. where I am respected and appreciated by true moguls of footography like Patrick of SOLES OF SILK website.. and where NOBODY has ever dared to attack me.
So many thanks for your appreciation and support but.. maybe the time has come for me to focus on web spaces where foot porn geezers like me get the respect they deserve.
Cheers!

Feetosopher has contributed to the barefoot community for a long time. I respect his work. Look at this as a menu in a diner. It offers a wide variety of choices to please as many people as possible. If the diner had many chefs each preparing a specific style of food, Feetosopher would be one of the chefs. If we did not wish to order the style of meal being offered we would simply pass by it and make another selection.
Respect each others work, preference and contribution. Everyone is entitle to their opinion and can make their own choices. Let us respect their opinions as they should also respect yours.
This discussion is a waste of bandwidth that could be much better served by positive contributions instead of criticisms.

Dear friend, many thanks for your wise words. Sadly, it seems that the forum members have a different attitude towards diversity and freedom of expression.
Look at the results of this poll: it's nearly split 50%-50%.
Half of the voters want my ass out of here.
True, very few had the courage to stand against me in public, whereas people who know me and respect me have all stood out to defend my right to advertise both sites of mine here in the forum.
I think that I am gonna let this people enjoy a City Feet forum WITHOUT A SINGLE PICTURE OF MINE POSTED.
People who know me and who appreciate me as a footographer know where to enjoy free sample pics from my sites.. and I will continue to inform the others about developments in my projects through this forum.
But.. NO PICTURE POSTINGS ANYMORE, I think. I am frankly fed up with this surge of trolls showing no respect for me. Once all my pictures will be gone from here, all the people who appreciate me will surely know whom to thank for this sad outcome.
Take care, all the best from Italy!

THIS POLL WILL BE CLOSED on TUESDAY, JUNE 23, 2015, at 11pm Central European Time.
IF AT THAT DATE THE MAJORITY OF VOTERS WILL BE AGAINST ME AND MY POSTS, I WILL DELETE ALL THE PICTURES I HAVE POSTED IN THE FORUM, AND I WILL QUIT POSTING ANY PICTURES HERE.
I will only post "pictureless" ads for my sites.
