At the bottom of the email there should be a response stating that you aren't allowed to repost the conversations.

My emails don't have a disclaimer like that. Can you post a link to this rule? Thx.

LJ Abuse replies used to have that by default, but they don't anymore, so you're fine.

Excellent summation of the issue, btw. :)

Translation from rahaeli-Speak to English: "We're too lazy or stupid to tell the difference between a baby and an adult fetishist, so we'll punish nursing mothers for our laziness or stupidity."

In the meantime, rahaeli has a default icon with a visible nipple.
