Hear, hear! Well said, Sock Puppet. I have kept out of these debates up till now, but the time has come for people to declare just how objectionale and unacceptable Mr Flynn's ravings have become. The position that he constantly presents is that modelling is only acceptable on his particular terms, and that anyone who chooses to do differently is some sort of blight on society. I suggest that the only relevant blight on society is his arrogance, narrow-mindedness and intolerance. Modelling is a hobby. People are entitled to do it however THEY like, and Mr Flynn has no right at all to be an arbiter of other people's actions.
