Gemfyre's Jewellery!

[gemfyre]

Yokay - Most of this stuff is for sale. If you are interested e-mail me, message me, reply, whatever. For those overseas we'll have to work out payment options - I don't have Paypal or anything due to lack of credit card and fear of exchage rate - I think I'd be charged more in fees that I'd make. And conversion costs for USD at least is $7, not sure about other currencies. So it's a tad awkward but I'm sure we can organise something. Prices are tentative (Oz dollars of course) - make an offer.

Some of these are one offs - most can be replicated if more than one person wants the design.


Necklace and earring set - Rose quartz, cherry quartz and mother of pearl on silver - necklace is tigertail. (These are mine.)

Yeah, my comment was childish. But I thought if I made it annoying enough BJ might actually respond to it. Which she did.

I would rather she do what any polite and considerate LJ user does, and post the first pic or two uncut, and then the remaining ones behind an lj-cut. Every community I know of have rules like that...

Yes, it is her own journal and she should be able to post what she likes. But that doesn't mean she shouldn't show a bit of respect for others. I'm sure if I went and posted a pic of goatse or tubgirl on my journal people would be annoyed at me. A "But it's my journal, I'll do what I want!" attitude doesn't make it right.

IMO, It's really quite hypocritical of BJ to condemn smokers for being so inconsiderate of others when she goes and does stuff like this...

Yes because uncut pictures will give me cancer...

Matt got it right - it was uncut because I wanted people to actually see it, it will scroll off friends lists in a few days (or less) and be forgotten.

There is also a format you can use to stop pics (and these ones were relatively small) from screwing up your friends pages - I've needed to use it because a lot of journals I read contain pics and links that are WAY too wide.

And since when have you had dialup?

[jassalol.livejournal.com]

It's the inconsiderate mindset I'm talking about, not the effect. So don't turn this into a debate about smoking vs lj-cut.

If you were to just post the one or two of the pics and then have an lj-cut saying "CLICK HERE TO SEE THE REMAINING 22...", people who care will click on the lj-cut to view the rest. If they don't care, they won't get annoyed at you. Everyone wins.

I was talking about this with a friend, who made the following remark:

"If you want to post graphic pictures of you and 3 sheep.... so be it, but for other peoples sanity's sake learn to lj-cut. Same if you want to post the entire text of "the lord of the rings" (plus the Silmarillion & the hobbit) on your lj. Feel free (though Mr JRR's son may have something to say about this), but don't be surprised if i defriend you."

I may have phrased it badly myself in parts of this discussion, but that's essentially how I feel about it as well.

YOu said: And since when have you had dialup?

I don't. I have ADSL. What's your point? Bandwidth is bandwidth. Besides, I know many of our mutual friends are still on dialup...

Um, she never mentioned smoking. YOU brought that up, and I was the one you were argueing that point with.

What if the 2 pics she chose not to cut were not the nicest ones, or someone wasn't interested in those items, but would have been interested in the other items that they never saw cos they didn't follow the cut (or reply and look at the content, cos LJ shows it all then too).

Posting pictures of a graphic nature, or copywrited text, are breaches of actual laws so would be illegal, even if "hidden" behind a lj-cut. however, if you were really into "you and 3 sheep" then chances are your friends list would either contain like minded people, or would shrink rapidly as people choose to not have you as an LJ friend because they have decided they aren't interested in seeing what you have to say. (I believe i've covered the defriending issue repeatedly in all my comments. you should remember LJ is not real-life)

The beauty of an lj-cut is that there could actually be anything behind it, and doesn't need to be clearly defined by the actual cut. so in effect it could be even more dangerous to cut things, because people are curious by nature and will look.

Oh, and to take up a point BJ raised and you ignored. there are many ways to restrict the pictures. LJ provide a formatting for this themselves, and most browsers have an option to turn off graphics too.

Yes because uncut pictures will give me cancer...

I believe that qualifies as mentioning smoking. She was completely missing the point of my reference to the smoking issue. Hence I was trying to make sure the argument didn't go off on an unrelated tangent.

What if the 2 pics she chose not to cut were not the nicest ones, or someone wasn't interested in those items, but would have been interested in the other items that they never saw cos they didn't follow the cut (or reply and look at the content, cos LJ shows it all then too).

The odds of that happening would be quite low. If the person is interested in jewelry but is too lazy to look at the other pics, then that's their loss. It doesn't mean BJ stoop to accommodate them when marketing her jewelry. It's like a spammer arguing that he needed to email everyone on the 'net just in case they wanted his product but never discovered his online store.

And everyone on her friends list has seen most (if not all) of these pics already, so if they were interested then they probably would have commented to the original post, or clicked on an lj-cut to see if this post had the one they liked.

Posting pictures of a graphic nature, or copywrited text, are breaches of actual laws so would be illegal, even if "hidden" behind a lj-cut.

Redundant point. You know they was just examples.

however, if you were really into "you and 3 sheep" then chances are your friends list would either contain like minded people, or would shrink rapidly as people choose to not have you as an LJ friend because they have decided they aren't interested in seeing what you have to say. (I believe i've covered the defriending issue repeatedly in all my comments. you should remember LJ is not real-life)

Yes, this has been covered elsewhere. And this was the point I was trying to make at the time.

What does the "lj is not real life" comment have to do with anything?

The beauty of an lj-cut is that there could actually be anything behind it, and doesn't need to be clearly defined by the actual cut. so in effect it could be even more dangerous to cut things, because people are curious by nature and will look.

That's the most retarded reasoning I've heard all week. If people post stuff uncut, then their friends will see it (or at least, load it) EVERY TIME they refresh their friends list (which for some of us can be a dozen times a day), until it scrolls off the page. If it's cut, and their friends *do* look, then they only look ONCE. They only load the pics ONCE.

Oh, and to take up a point BJ raised and you ignored. there are many ways to restrict the pictures. LJ provide a formatting for this themselves, and most browsers have an option to turn off graphics too.

I assumed that was a reply to Warwick. It certainly didn't relate to anything I said. Hence why I ignored it.
