I replaced the pic with a link. Return to your comfortable lives, now.

OK, I'll fess up. It was I who sent that pm to Ty. I don't need any visual reminder of that day, trust me. Barely a day goes by that I don't think about the horror of that day and the dread and fear I felt. I need to be able to block it out to get on with my day-to-day life; if I didn't, I don't think I could leave my house. I'm not kidding. I can feel the pit in my stomach like it was yesterday when I look out my office window and see the gaping hole in the downtown skyline from the absence of the towers (where I once worked). I don't need continuing visual evidence of the unspeakable suffering those people went through to keep it in my memory; much in the same way I didn't need to see the video of that poor kid's beheading.
To each his (or in my case, her) own, I guess, but I think it's disrespectful to the memory of the person depicted in that photo. But, by all means, use it as your soapbox.
