Most of those who have have found fault have disclosed either their lack of understanding of social nudism and/or have promoted an agenda contrary to the generally accepted principles we all accept as part of our lifestyle/pastime. Some are pugnacious, some are respectful. They might be forgiven for their ignorance, but not for their persistence after being educated about basic naturist principles. Our nudist/naturist lifestyle isn't for everyone; only for those who appreciate and accept it! If one desires something which is not social nudism, then why attempt to change what ist is accepted by everyone but YOU? Hey, feel free to start your own movement, ok? We'll see you in another hundred years and compare notes.
Much off-the-cuff dumb stuff comes from Facebook comments, of course. A lot of folks wander in there looking for something else and get mad when they don't find it. But we don't allow trolls there and most people respect that. Trolls don't last long, and don't count at all (well, except when they 'report' us to get even!).
By 'handful', we're talking about those complainants who wish that nudism/naturism was something which would accommodate THEIR desires rather than what naturism IS. We see them pop up everywhere online and some even have a tiny following. 'Handful' means, quite literally, a couple dozen among millions over many years. We could list their names in less than a paragraph, yet they self-righteously purport to represent REAL nudists. All two dozen of of them. They tend to perpetuate their 'philosophy' through photo streams of naked women or penises or s&m or whatever else rings their bells on Tumblr or other lowlife online sources of trash. Of course, they identify themselves as 'Naturists'. Of course they do. And they damage the image of REAL nudists/naturists in the process. We don't like them, and they HATE us when we expose them.
A recent delve into the mysteries of statistics (we try to avoid doing that!) indicates that over 85% of our website visitors arrive there actually looking for good information (as opposed to those who Google 'nudist children', 'naked kids', 'nudist women', etc.in their search; creeps), not by looking for us..
Do you have any idea what that means? Those stats are incredible and illustrate why All-Nudist has become such a valued resource. Good folks, potential and current nudists are finding us even though MOST searches for 'nudist' or 'naturist' result in smut. Nonetheless, many folks ARE finding us and getting a real introduction to nudism! That feels good.
THAT is the reason we created All-Nudist. There's a lot of good information about social nudism on the internet but most is lost and buried under the garbage that pretends to represent our lifestyle; We started All-Nudist to provide some links to the GOOD websites, that's all. Yeah, it's grown a LOT from there. But the idea was to save the newcomer from running into all that crap and being misinformed.
Our editorials can be appreciated or deplored; that's a different subject. We get to express OUR opinions occasionally because it is, after all our website! And we, as nudists, have our own ideas about things which may not be agreeable to every other nudist/naturist. We are a diverse community which shares some common goals, but we don't all think alike!
Take a look around All-Nudist.com and see what you think. You will find ample opportunity to offer suggestions, comments or complaints at various places! We prefer positive input!
That's it, no biggie. Just an appreciation from us that we're reaching the right audience and accomplishing the furthering of our only 'agenda: the promotion of social nudism as one helluva great way to live!
