Robert Pattinson Out And About with Tom Sturridge in London. First they grabbed lunch at Nando's then did some shopping. The rest of the pictures are really intrusive. THIS one is the only one that is "postable".
Look how happy the Beanie Twins are!
Thanks to Ani for the tip :)
P.S.: We had a 5 minute email convo on how to post these. I gotta say they were funny emails :))
Source because Amber and Heather think we are not being good bloggers. HERE. Go nuts....

He can't even hold a bag like a normal person :D

Thanks, Gozde. Your gut feelings have served you well and your total consideration to Rob is so commendable. That's just one of the many reasons we will always visit here.
Dudes, enjoy your day!!! Hope you can toast the evening as well!
FILTM
My only comment on the negative responses in this thread.
Would you behave this way in real life? Would you speak to another person in this way if you were face to face with them?
Don't hide all your bravado behind the safety of the internet. You just look like fools.
I've been with Goz since day one. I've been helping post on the blog since December. Luckily the nice comments far outweigh the bad... but the bad seem to stand out more. When you're doing this for the love of Rob, it hurts when people trash it. We often can't win... if we had posted the intrusive pictures we would have been slated too.
Thank you all for the wonderful comments each and every day. For those that choose to post negative comments - there are plenty of other Rob sites. If you don't like what we do, go elsewhere.
@ solas-xbox live is when you pay a fee to play with people all over the world with the game of your choice. You can wear a headset and talk to them and what they would say comes out of the speakers of your televsion,my kid has a 50 something flatscreen with great sound in his little room.This guy was playing Guitar Hero (?) and my kid is an expert/level. the guy my kid talked to was GOOD and actually beat my kid once or twice.
He is so cute with that bag, it's like you've given it to 3 year old and told him "Here hold this bag tight, don't drop it!" And he did what you told him! :DDDD
FILTM!!!!!!
@Kat YOU TELL 'EM GIRL! HUGS! :DDD
@annie
lol~Rob looks like he has a death grip on that bag!!!
I agree Kat-your screwed if you do or dont post those pics in its entirety. I love it here. Im stayin.You guys do a great job and you bust your butts off . I appredciate it completely.
Kat,
Amen to that!
he looks happy and oh so yummy *sigh
Posting again, just to say this is a lovely site, the best ever. I'm so sad you felt you had to post the source. And waste time coping with some haters. Let's hope they go to the carrion sites and do not return here.
@Fae LMAO,thats exactly what he looks like doing.
@ solas-crib is slang for house. they have a whole show MTv CRIBS. where super rich people show off their houses.
Thanks Skorpia; that sounds interesting! So it is kind of like fusing internet chat with gameplaying?
I have seen the pics in question, all you have to do is Google and they are there.
I am a professional photographer and no not a pap, I agree that they are obviously taken most likely w/o his knowing if they were using a zoom lens. I would consider it to be slightly intrusive and out of kindness to him I would let him be but they are by far from the worst of the worst.
I seriously have to question why in the WORLD he would choose a window seat in the restaurant???
Who knows, maybe he just really didn't care that day if he was photographed that day or not we don't know.
huh--thanks. So crib is a baby cot AND a house? Doesn't it also mean to cheat?
Omg, people! Those of you who are lamenting the fact that they HAD to post the source...are you for real???
If you take pics from another site, OF COURSE, you have to credit them. And stating that fact isn't rude, or hating, or out of line.
I understand why they didn't at first source it...cause they don't want to endorse the gossip site it came from. But what if someone used pics from Robsessed and chose not to source it because they don't like "fan sites" or whatever the reason?
They know this, here, which is why they decided in the end to do the right thing and site the source, as despicable as that source may be.
But to blame it on me, or anyone else....that's just ridiculous.
Too late Heather if you did not want to be blamed...
time for some sleep,exhausted after so many pics :D
Goodnight and have a nice Rob beanie evening.
Goz and girls, I agree 100% with your decision on posting and non posting. Thank you for sharing the ones you feel are appropriate. I love the updates, but am willing to wait on pics that are non intrusive into what little bit of personal life he has.
Sally, I don't know you, but right now I'm so glad of that. These girls work long hours and post on this blog as a benefit to all of us. If you have no more civility than to come to Goz's blog and act like an ass, then please go to the other blogs that felt nothing at all about posting those pics and you can voice yourself there. Most people would be ashamed to act like that in a public place... apparently it doesn't bother some people.

@whyistherumalwaysgone
Sorry if my post was too rational for you to comprehend.
oh bravo bravo for not posting the pictures...I did see them and ..you know that suck in your breath, close your eyes and grimace feeling...yeah? well, that is how I feel
Yes Rob is gorgeous and sexy and funny and smart and has beautiful eyes and F*ck me hair and blah blah YES YES YES to all of it
but what struck me was here is this normal guy trying to do normal things...the standing in line buying you know what is the one that got me ...he looks...vulnerable??!!! yikes
what if this was my boyfriend or my brother or my son or just my friend I felt super sorry for him It is wrong just all kinds of wrong and I am ashamed and I feel sad for him
SORRY Rob I know you will never see this but sorry really
Heather, sweety darling.
THE
HORSE
IS
DEAD
(quit beating it)
I'm sorry that what I said sounded negative, it wasn't ment to. I was trying to be supportive.
bye :(
I get where heather is coming from. If you post the pics you gotta name the source. Its the polite thing to do. However I get where goz and the crew are coming from. they have the right as to say which ones should go through and be online at their site.
Suz, love muffin, if you haven't noticed...i'm responding to other people's comments.
@Suz-thanks for learning my nick-names AND defining them for everyone..ur really up on ur homework~!!!<333 :)
^5 Kemberly.
At first I thought it might be an insult...
when really, its a compliment!
xxx
@Heather, ma bad. beat away!
@suz Lol Suz, I love your comments.
The beard is gone thank god!!! Beanie back, yessss!!!
Have to agree with everything Kat said. I remember when I first start blogging here and was inexperienced and posted a pic and got slated on twitter for it, it def made me wary about doing it again and is one of the reasons we debate so much about what to post and what not to, I didn't go with my gut feeling with that one pic and I regretted it. Now I always go with my gut and if it doesn't feel right I don't post.
Anyway all that aside,thanks Kat for reminding me why we do this, the love of Rob :-) Sometimes I need reminding!
And LOL Suz :-)
Are you guys gonna fight all night long? Let's have some fun.This was one hell of a day, let's be happy.
Love Peace and Rob
I forgot.
FIL THIS SITE
Peace,love and Rob...lots and lots of ROb :)
Wow, I come here after a quiet supper and all hell has broken loose! I think I'm getting indigestion scanning through the over 200 comments. Yikes!
Poor Godze, Kate and Kat. I've never addressed you before but I'd like to say, thumbs up to you for your decision. Class act.
Just before visiting your blogsite, I googled Robert's name and came across the other intrusive photos inadvertently. I was shocked and saddened that he can't even do things like buy underwear or eat in a restaurant without a telephoto lens spying on him.
This is part of the privacy that he, like any human being, deserves. None of us would like it if our own lives were recorded and spread over the internet that way. We'd be mortified and feel violated. Can we all not think of Rob as a human being first, and treat him as we would want to be treated?
I believe there's a line photographers should not cross, and they know what it is. They know it, we know it, but it is crossed anyway.
I know it sounds stupid but this is the first time I almost cried reading the comments, after I'd seen the photos. Yeah, yeah, I know, I looked and saw too (this is what happens when it is put right in front of you, and Gozde wisely knew that), but I felt creeped out.
Repeat: Rob is a human being first and to pretend this isn't violation is delusion.
Oh, liked the 'Beanie Bromance Babies'. And 'Long Live the Jaw'.
And yes, women have luckily been able to have BFF and enjoy platonic intimacy all along. It's really nice that straight male bonding can go beyond slapping each other on the back while watching football (that is what they do, right).
Dina,
If you're still around later, we'll meet up on another quiet thread and have some fun....
I personally don't see the different with only posting one photo of rob in his private time, as opposed to posting several. All pap photo's are intrusive to me.
I guess one good thing is the British paps seem to stay way back during his private time. It's disgusting when they get right in his face.
Our Robby looks happy because he is Finally Free from 'Slutzilla' who we all know by now have her claws into another brit (good luck to the poor bloke) .......i love seeing him without the beard,.......keep happy my Rob and for all that is Fu.....holy stay away from the evil claws.....ok iam outta here.....oh and check out OCDjen on FF she have the most amazing Jasward love stories.

rptmo,
come on babe, don't go there...
@RPG,cannot wait LOL
Hey, so good to come back home and find all these new thread/treats!!!
Thank you! Loved to see our boy so relaxed and happy :-DDD
Wow. Missed the furor, and will pass by, as not my call.
Thx, ladies, for posting any pic you choose of happy mates. Always good to get a few socks/undies/dvds or whatever, in hand. lol Still hoping I can get to see Tom's film at Santa Barbara.
@rpattz-turns-me-on
Do you believe everything Perez Hilton say?
Do I want to know what Slutzilla is or what rptmo is talking about? is this more ff?
Gozde, Kate, & Kat--
I TOTALLY respect you ladies! You're a class act--major, major KUDOS to you. You ladies do an AMAZING job with this site and I'm thankful, everyday, for it (and you).
Keep on, keeping on!

@skorpia:
Do you know this mysterious player's gamertag? (does your son...?)
and btw a "gamertag" is like their username on Xbox live
WTF is going around here tonight? What did you girls drink??
Oh come on, let's drool on his pix. Did you notice, by any chance, the ones in the threads bellow?? What is this? Rob on Emilie, Rob under Kristen.
OMG! Lucky bitches! Seems like we'll REALLY have the incredible leg hitch!!!
Hey!! I come here to drool! Not to fight!
:)))))
We are so not supposed to judge what people think is suitable to be published on their own blog...
THIS is what is disrespectful to me...
We are guests here, if you don't like it, leave...
Jus'sayin... :(
Yup, they are intrusive and Solas and jmm4832 nicely articulated what "intrusive photos" are. Totally get why the ladies discussed and decided not to post them. I am the one that went ballistic about the taxi cab pic, Rob looking abjectly miserable as the camera was stuck in his face. However, to my knowledge that was not originally posted here. One of the most intrusive ones EVER, was the infamous hand-holding one on the tarmac, in the dark - they had no clue there was a camera around. However, that was bound to be posted all over the damn internet and in every gossip rag on earth (as it was), so choosing not to post it would have been useless. Ironically, it was that photo that led me to this site! (LOL)
Gozde, take heart that the vast majority of the commenters totally support your decision, keep using your gut. To Kat & Kate too.
Isn't anyone excited that Rob actually went shopping and maybe got some new clothes, for crying out loud. Yay.
@rpattz-turns-me-on, WTF? Don't even start that BS here. You will be shut down so fast. This blog is about respect, no hateful name calling based on some warped opinion of someone you know nothing about. This is not the place for you.
@sol,LOL I wanted to ask the same question but then I saw RPG comment and I made up my mind. Just let it be.
@solas, No, presumably she is talking about Kristen. Hence my previous comment
Solas,
No she's talking about Kristen....
She's trying to stir up the fucked up rumors about KS hooking up with Orlando at Sundance...it didn't happen...Gossip Cop already slammed that rumor down...
It's just to stir up more shit...rptmo if you're lurking, you know you like to do that shit....
I will blame it to the moon tonight. Everybody is ready for a fight.
Dina you're a poet and didn't know it.
Hugs
pfft..THAT was a compliment if I have ever seen one..have you SEEN Orlando's gf??? just sayin....
jeeeeezzzzz! A and H. Just enjoy what you get and be thankful!. It's ALL (Rob) GOOD. If you want more find it elsewhere. It's everywhere!
Thanks Gozde!
Oooh, Kemberly, i miss your Rob's butt avi... :)
Is that better???
OH shyte..wait..I think I got the wrong one............
;)
*whistle*
aww :-( I don't want anyone picking on Kristen or spreading rumours. :-(
Kemberly, you are really funny, girl. The second one, please ;-)
sheesh folks-- Didn't your moms ever tell you not to drink the koolaid?
koolaid?
@womadsart
seriously? again? use your eyes!
i said they should be able to post whatever pics they want on their own blog! they just need (as always) to credit the pic(s) they do post.
how is this so difficult to understand?
OK, thread-jacked! Have fun ladies.
@RPG, thanks for MO on RPTMO. Jeesh. At the end of the day, KS is at least a BF and along with his other BFF's doesn't deserve any hate. Loisada, said it in another thread, by respecting him you also respect what's his. (paraphrase).
Go to it gals...I'll be reading about it in my email tomorrow.
Some ppl don't understand that just being on here and commenting IS drinking the kool-aid..stamp hypocrit on the forehead..LOL..Oh well, much more fun than grape flavored flavor-aid in Jonestown..and I'm out like a fat kid in dodge-ball.
Later Chicas
@Kemberly, that was funny!
I often wonder how many people know where the kool-aid reference comes from. Obviously you do. And have to admit you are right. We're all drinking it here :))
re Kool-aid: Everyone is so off the wall today and the moon is not full, so I was thinking in terms of hallucigens, which were put into kool-aid even before JOnestown tragedy. In the 60s they used to call it sunshine koolaid-- and sunshine was the 'acid' put into the koolaid, by the sunshine superman (there is a song of that name). Tragically, the evil ones at JOnestown put poison into the koolaid and many people were killed. But this was a later reference.
You can google it.
And i recall some trippers who were called sunshine supermen as well, because they thought they were indestructible and were 'flyng.'
haha what Drama! Sorry to the ladies who own the blog for going through all of this, how awful for you when all you're doing is trying to update everyone on everything that is Rob!!
All I got to say actually beyond all the drama and the misery lacing this post is, I'm fucking glad that Rob loves Black boxer briefs lol it seems that's all he bought is BLACK ones yay!! My fav color!! Now gray can be nice too but nothing tops a guy in tight junk-hugging BLACK undies ...woohoo! excuse me while I go drool over the image lol!
Goz - You are the "Wizard of Rob".
I love your site.
I also LOVE paparzzi pics (sorry)...but it's your site and you can say or post any damn thing you want - people should respect that.
Forgot to say that this blog is by far the BEST RPatz site out there and I know how much time it takes to run something like this.
I REALLY appreciate all of your hard work.
I have just read the posts on this thread and I am amazed.
Firstly I am amazed that Gozde,Kate and Kat did not show all the pictures. Really they, (other then the one of him seen eating that I totally disagree with) are certainly no worse then many others I have seen on this site before??
Secondly why did you have to headline it with "the others are too intrusive"..of course human nature being what it is I imagine EVERYONE on this site has since gone to another site and checked them out.
Thirdly Amber and Heather should not now be attacked for pointing out what they consider correct protocol to be.
It smacks a little of pettiness to highlight their names as you have.
Other people made comments disagreeing with the way it was done and they were also attacked/chastised by other robsessed fans.
Come on people can we all spell HYPOCRITE. This is a site dedicated to any and everything RP
We come to this and other sites to feed our obsession. We take small glimpses into Robert's life through the power of print and visual media and we are all experts on the man. We think we know where his heart is, what he wants from life, his nature, his family, his friends.
Guess what? We don't!
Whatever truths and ideas he has now at this moment in his life will certainly change as he faces challenges and grows older.
Sad isn't it that a few women are in here arguing about the bloody obvious.
We are all a little bit voyeuristic and a large amount obsessed, craving any new tidbits.
Gozde, Kate and Kat run this blog as they see fit which is their right.. I do not begin to know how these things work so all credit to you for doing it but I guess every hit is a good thing. So when people start to argue it is just so easy to stir that pot and to get the troops rallying hmm...
Call me cynical if you wish. Hell call me whatever you like but lets all be honest for a moment and admit we are all feeding the frenzy.
There really is no use anyone attempting to stand on higher ground here.
I have a feeling that Rob would likely find it very funny that tons of people fight over whether or not posting pictures of him buying black boxer briefs and socks is right or wrong.
I don't usually comment but I wanted to say Robsessed rocks, the women who run it rock and any decision you all make rocks because I know you think about it thoroughly before hand. Thank you for the time and effort you put into this blog. Snaps for all of you!
katykeene, thanks.
thanks for actually reading and comprehending what was posted before commenting. your sentiments are appreciated. :)
BTW - I am just glad Rob didn't choose the multi-colour stripped briefs on that shelf... that was an image of him I would not have wanted LOL
@ Kat on your comment about people going somewhere else if they did not agree with your decisions.
That also sounds a bit petulant.
I get annoyed by this comment because I notice here sometimes that when someone disagrees in any way the troup rally and the standard battle cry is "go somewhere else".
If people are making a point and are not trolls why do you say that?
Is it not the right of everyone to have a say? What is wrong with us that we cannot take any criticism?
Life would be extraordinarily boring if every one agreed ALL the time.
Phew! I am getting down off my soapbox now but not before adding that I have been wanting to say this for some time.
Hey Heather do not mention it. I stand by what I say.
I had already seen the pictures on another blog before I came on here today. I began to read the comments because of Gozde's comments on the original post and just thought WTF.
Wow. Just wow. LOL
I love how all the trolls come out after the fact & disrespect the blog owners...
What a bunch of fucking losers... Ya'all know who you are..
Hey Katykeene, we don't normally tell people to go somewhere else, I think Kat was just emotional because this really got me down last night.
Everyone has a right to their opinion and we appreciate the criticisms.
And Heather, I wasn't being immature, I don't understand why you are so stuck up on the sourcing. I sourced not because I agree with you but because I was fed up.
Okay, I'm really moving on :)
I love pictures where he is smiling and looks relaxed. How great for him to have these pre-idol good friends to keep him level.
Gozde, this is your site and you should follow your instincts and post what you want. Follow your heart and it won't lead you wrong :)
Sadly on my part, out of curiosity, I made the mistake of looking at the photos that you didn't post. I wish I never looked. I actually cried when I saw them, I felt so badly for Rob. It's incredible to me that someone would not only take those photos, but post them. Intrusive isn't a strong enough word for those photos. It makes me sad that our society has devolved to this point.
I wish I could wash my brain out with soap. I'll just have to focus on the happy photo you did post. That's how I want to think of Rob.
Really torn here ...
Love the blog and Kat, Kate and Gozde - thank you.
but ...
calling Heather and Amber out on the front page is girl-on-girl crime.
My recommendation is to bring healing and unity to the sisterhood through a picspam, bloggers choice.
Let's keep the focus on what brings us together, not what tears us apart.
I thought Bel Ami began filming this past weekend, guess not.
It looked like he's buying white underware....I don't see the black. Although black is way hotter! Am I looking at it wrong?
Oh and if you think we can't take criticisms you should let us know how it goes when you criticize any other Rob blog :) And ask people who have sent in criticisms emails to us, ask us how their replies were.
Thanks for the support guys, as people we tend to focus on the negative even when the positive far outweighs it :))
LOL, I never thought these pictures would create so much drama :))
Muah!
For what its worth, I respect the site managers right to select what goes on their blog including pictures and sources. All that really has to be said is that the picture doesn't belong to them. By the way, I tried to follow the link, but the page didn't make any sense to me and I couldn't find anything about rob on it.
Dude I said they think we are not being good bloggers. Is that wrong?!? Didn't they tell me how to be a good blogger by sourcing?
It's not like I called them names on the front page.
This is getting weirder and weirder :)
They told me how they always source, how a good blogger always sources.
why do I keep going? *slaps wrist*stop it Gozde, step away from the computer*
oh wow I have never heard the rumor that Kristen "hooked up" with Orlando Bloom hahaha that is the funniest thing I have ever heard...who started that rumor?? it must have come from Kristen's "camp" have you seen Miranda people??? sweet sexy and orlando is going to cheat on her with kristen hahaha good lord that rumor is the funniest thing ever..one of the reasons that Kristen and Rob seem to get along is because of this hobo/smoking thing they have and Kristen's"I dont give a crap vibe"...really Kristen is definitley an acquired taste like mole or guacamole or something ...ABSOLUTELY not for everyone
Can someone (other than Katykeene( with a clickable/legit link support Heather and Amber? All of your accounts have just been created...
Please....
oh and if you are going to go REALLY technical, the blogs that source each other don't do it right either. The photos belong to the papz and/or the photo agencies they sold it to. So when you think you are doing "good blogging" by sourcing Robertpattinsonforthewin.com you are also sourcing wrongly. You should be paying the photo agency in order to post.
When you do THAT come back and preach on...
Ummm, Gozde, when did I EVER say you are "not a good blogger"? I simply said you should site your source. Something you obviously agree with since you do it, "religiously".
Also, it's quite funny you say you didn't call us names on the front page. That's EXACTLY what you did do. You slandered us and made it seem like WE were your reason for posting the source. No. You posted the source because you know it's the right thing to do. You didn't post it because you were "fed up". If that was the case you would have posted all the pics because there were many more complaints about that.
BTW, go back and read Amber's posts. She was nothing but kind and reasonable. You should be ashamed for calling her out the way you did.
And...because I just read your recent post.... I disagree. You only need to post where you found the pics...NOT the original source. Because as long as everyone posts where they got them from then it can always be traced back to the owner.
Gozde? Are you angry with me? Am I "dude"? I was saying I think it is your right to post or print what ever you believe is right. I don't agree with these criticisms of your blog at all. I hope you were referring to a post further up the line.
@Lall:Rob-flavored-kool-aid..MMMmmmm..kinda salty. Robert, more pineapple~! ;)
..and for ur gasp enjoyment.....
I SMELL PENNIES~!!! o.O
*Thanks Stylez*
^^^^ See I sighted the source like a good girl~! (halo) :)
It's so good to see Rob out and about doing normal things with one of his mates. He looks so happy! :D
Nope sourcing the last person who sourced is not how sourcing is supposed to go.
If NY Times posts something then Twilight Lexicon posts it and after that His Golden Eyes posts it, you are supposed to source NY Times not His Golden Eyes. You can track it back to NY Times is not how it goes.
I didn't say Amber wasn't nice. I didn't say I didn't call you out, I said I didn't call you names.
We are going in circles :) No hard feelings on my part, thanks for the criticisms I take them all to heart :))
Hugs,
Gozde
@ rpattzgirl
there you go expressing just what I was talking about.
I am not sure who you are calling a "F"loser and if you mean me so be it.. but a troll..come on!! a troll never says anything nice, usually about the person in question, who in this case would be Rob, so I think that is inappropriate here as we all love Rob don't we??
@ Gozde maybe we are all being a little emotional at this time. Why you would let comments on your own blog, that are different to yours, get you down I am not sure. Isn't that part of the price you have to pay for putting yourself out there? Don't get me wrong,that is a legitimate question ( I am NOT having a go at you.)
Although I disagree with how this particular thread has been handled, I do however admire your commitment to this site.
I have followed it for well over a year and introduced it to quite a few people.
I hope we can agree to disagree on this subject and move on.
If ever there was a lesson to be learned from that saying 'be careful what you wish for' then this was it. I wrote in my diary last night how excited I was at the new pictures we got from Eclipse and Remember Me and expressed a wish for up to date candid ones. Blow me if I came back and had one more look on this site and there was that one photo of Rob and Tom. I was ecstatic but the fact that there were more pics I had to see. Soeone on IMDB finally posted links to them...how intrusive could they be?
Well I wish I hadn't seen them now...the ones of them walking along the street are fine. Every celeb gets papped like that but they aren't potentially embarrassing. The ones of him in the shop buying underwear and then eating his lunch are. Poor Rob...I am so sorry.
He's going to get a lot of stick about these pics on the sites where they just love to have a go at him.
So GODZE, KAT and KATE you were right not to post...Wish I hadn't succumbed to teptation.
Xcuse the buttin' in, and gonna get in trouble for this, no doubt, but Heather, please, it's driving me nuts: if you're gonna hound someone for not doing this then use the right word. It's "CITE" a source not "site." Site is a noun for a location or place. Cite is a verb and Citation the noun.
And Gozde is correct. If citing you need to name the original source publication. If you are citing a secondary source, then you are also including original material from that secondary source, as well as the original,
or the secondary source has not made the original available.
Oh, Lord. I came here to say I have no hard feelings either, Gozde. :)
But, of course, it seems I have more snarky comments to deal with. *sigh*
So...AP...what "drives you nuts" more? The fact that I used the word "site" improperly? Or the fact that after all your information about proper citing, the truth is, this "site" didn't "cite" any source at all. Not until Amber and I brought it up. ;)
Gimme a break.
It's obvious you have a loyalty to this site. Cool. Then go after the real haters. Not me.
http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/9735/2n055jkk.gif
I fainted when I "sighted" that..LOL
I think more women on this "site" need to be on the other end of that particular action alil more often..just a suggestion.
Heather: don't think I said anything about this site citing or not citing driving me nuts at all. Said it was the incorrect use of 'site,' and said Goz was correct re citing. May have overused 'citing' myself right now, but that's it.
I appreciate your acknowledging the grammatical distinctions in your reply, and certainly don't wish to otherwise get in the way of your conversation with Gozde.
I'll give any breaks in my power to do so, and please carry on... ;)
Citing the correct site aka sourcing 101:
The source is the photographer/photo agency. Look it up or check the big blogs/news sites. That's how you source. Thanking "Robert Pattinson is Awesome" is what we usually do because of courtesy but the truth is they don't pay for the pictures so maybe you should start a campaign and tell people to buy their photos and source the photo agencies 'cause that's how it's REALLY supposed to be. Not the way we "play" blogging or the way people think they source correctly.
Oh and if you post a manip you can't claim copyright on it the ORIGINAL photographer still holds the rights UNLESS you bought the right to post the pictures.
And I'm done...
Whoa, why am I hearing my grandmother's voice in my ear admonishing me "that if I can't be civil, then be silent"?
Goz, I've said it before: Thanks for all the work you Kate and Kat do here to give us a place where I can indulge in my guilty pleasure away from the demands of real life.
That said...umm, I've noticed a delay in my comment posts. I make them early (within the first 50 at least), but they seem to pop up at the most ludicrous times, like in the middle of a verbal battle or a wheelbarrow kidnapping attempt (that was hilarious!). I'm not complaining, just wanted you to know that I'm not as oblivious to the conversations going on around here.
Good night everyone. In my corner of the world it's about 1:30 in the morning and 6am comes along way too soon.
@Gozde & Kate: Thanks for clearing things up for me. LMAO
Glad to know I'm not censored. I really was confused.:D
Feel better soon, Gozde.
In a way, I am hoping no one will read this, and that everyone has moved on. But just in case:
There is a difference between disagreeing in opinions, such as liking Rob with a beard or not, and arguing about how owners of sites run their sites. For the former, it is silly to say, 'if you don't like our opinions, then go to a different site'; but for the latter, it is logical--if you don't like the way a site is run, find one that is run more to your liking.
As for citing on this site: Almost everything is meticulously cited here, and if it is not, it is (at least as far as I can tell) so that this site is not a vehicle from which people travel to obnoxious/noxious stuff. For sure you can make your own decisions about photos, but find them yourselves. The owners of this blog do the immense favour to us by finding material and posting it here, and are in no way obligated to present everything, whether they like or approve of it or not.
Some may feel hypocrisy is displayed because some photos are presented and some not, but aside from the fact that the owners go by the gut and not by a constitution or bible, and dong so are therefore rendering 'hypocrisy' an innaccurate term, it once again is not an opinion of conversation such as Rob having a beard, but becomes an indictment on the people who run the blog, therefore implying this is not the right blog for you.
I appreciate Gozde, Kat, Kate, et al, and most bloggers here so very much. That's all for now, folks. :-)
AMEN jc!!!!!!
and also for someone's information.... posting "the source"... you might as well post the link... cause it's the same. thank you..
FILTM!!!!!!
Thank you :)) We really appreciate you all so much ;))
Hugs!
As for the comments going out of order, I'm afraid it's a problem with blogger and we can't fix it :(( I'm sure blogger will find a solution very soon :)
Solas,
Off topic, but I'm reading a fic I think you'll enjoy. It's all human, but a very engaging E/B story.
I noticed it's rated M, but I've read all chapters (23 of 'em) and there is nothing so far that can't can't be read by a 16yr old. Have a look, see what you think:

Oh, Solas, I just remembered there were a couple of swear words, but it fit in with the frustration of the character. Don't let that deter you from an otherwise fantastic story.
Thanks JUles--i CAN handle swear words, they just really bother me.
Contrary to the belief that words are just words, for me, at least, they carry tones and intent. My first husband was extremely abusive, and accompanied his abuse with 'swear' wrods, and whenever I hear them or read them, I think of them as words of violence, not mere phonemes strung together as any other word.
No prob, Solas. I figured you had your reasons for not liking them, that's why I wanted to warn you.
Enjoy the story, it's a really good one. Some Recommended it on twitter and I was immediately hooked.
Solas, your cursing comment caught my attention. I hate cursing for similar reasons. So I read your profile. Loved what you wrote there.
thanks, Grace. :-)
i screamed for some reason when i heard they went to nando's.... I was at Nando's a few weeks ago!
"Dude I said they think we are not being good bloggers. Is that wrong?!? Didn't they tell me how to be a good blogger by sourcing?
It's not like I called them names on the front page."
I'm assuming that I am "Dude". The line "they think were not good bloggers", just read like a passive aggressive shot at two readers who disagreed with you. Sorry to add to the overall irritation with my lame attempt to lighten things up, back to lurker mode.
How do I see the other pics?? I want to be intrusive...
@ Solas

"What the???"
Oh and inaccurate only has (1)n and can you explain dong to me???
@KatyKeene: Give it a rest. They're obviously typos.
JFC -
If you feel so invested or inclined that you want to offer constructive criticism there is a more appropriate venue for that than publicly chastising the bloggers. There is a link to their email on the main page.
Heather and kk if you have something to say about Goz, Kate, or Kat's blogging practices, or want to suggest an appropriate site, or cite, you could do so in a PM instead of being critical on their blog.
Yes, I'm obviously biased and feel defensive of Robsessed and the people who run it - so I'm sure you'll disregard my comment since it's posted HERE.
I wouldn't have the gall to post this on your site. It sounds like you have one?? I don't need to know who you, are or where your from, to see your original (and subsequent) comments were bitchy.
Kat, I understand your frustration completely.
If someone came into my office and told me they didn't like my work, I'd tell them to get lost.
Unless it was the person paying me.
Oh, that's right, you aren't getting paid for this are you?
It seems like a bigger slap in the face when the people you VOLUNTEER your time to are so blatantly rude.
Ingrates.

@ Twiheart How could I disregard your post or the insult included.
Truth is I did not think about sending an email to Gozde because, this being an open forum, I thought this was where one voiced one's concerns/comments.
No I do NOT have a blog. I am not computer savvy enough to do that ..(the reason I do not know how to go about contacting Godze privately)Also I did try to send this to you privately but it would not go through. I told you I am hampered by my lack of knowledge on how these things work.
I am NOT American either.
I do however get the message loud and clear...
PFFT
Quickie-Twi = cheap-ass~!
It's a good thing undies and socks are inexpensive. ;)
socks...he was buying socks...
and weren't these from the holiays hence no beard?
nice pic of the boyz, tho!
I feel compelled to add my two cents to this debate. I have been lurking for about a month or so, having just recently become "robsessed". I have checked out many Rob fansites and ROBsessed by far is the only one I come to everyday, and often more than once a day for several reasons:
1. The site is updated every single day with latest Rob news, pictures, videos and fan art. No other site is as comprehensive.
2. The comments section is great. You have a mature, respectful, self-policing, open community and great discussions.
3. You so clearly love and respect Rob. Even after all the "Respect Rob" hoohaa, almost every major Rob fansite has the intrusive pap pics posted. And even though you never explicitly joined the campaign, you have shown so much restraint, clearly just out of love and respect for the man, that I admire your site sooo much more.
Thankyou so much Gozde, Kate and Kat for providing us fellow Robsessors with a place where we can indulge without feeling bad.
