Whether my site is a hobby or a job, it has no bearing on the respect I deserve. It's not illegal. I don't degrade myself on it (quite the opposite, actually). I do it because I enjoy it. If I didn't want to do it, I simply wouldn't. End of story. I demand just as respect knowing I run my site as I would if I didn't.
Does a garbage man deserve any less respect than an accountant? No, at least not in my mind.
The day someone comes up to me and tells me I don't deserve respect because I've decided to pose nude is the day I get offended. That's just the way it is.
And it's NOT easy to offend me.

Yeah I don't blame you Elli. That's like people saying that you don't deserve respect because you're born naked. Well sure, when you're born you don't have a choice, but it's no less normal and natural. It's only dumb society that has made it taboo or unacceptable to be in our natural states. In Europe they tend to be more open, but it's like a primitive backwater in the west sometimes.
