This topic crops up every now and again and I think the majority of our members are fairly mature people who don't judge solely on apperences.
That being said, we will always have shallow individuals who's first impression of a person's worth is based on their looks.
When these discussions crop up, inveriably they defend themselves and explain their positions (which is ok, even while I disagree), but anyone who goes off on a "fatty" flame will be shown the door, even as anyone who disrespects their fellow members is.
As to the exhibition forum, I totally understand your feelings, but you might try to focus on all the positive comments our bigger female membership has garnered. We have some very beautiful bigger women around here and many of us appreciate them
