Gorillas avatar offends me.
 
I have a friend that used to do coke and it strongly offends me. The fact that something like that is allowed on this site reflects so negatively on this site and the people who run it i don't even wanna be a member. I think that things like this will turn people away. I don't understand how cursing can be against the rules, but drug use can be used as a joke. Take this seriously or not but that is the way i feel.

do you think posting a thread publicly in off topic is the proper way to go about this?

HatchSurfer3 06-08-2006 02:53 AM

wow, if u honestly truly were offended by that, then i think u would've pm'ed him and asked him politely to take it down. And if he didn't then maybe go to a moderator. What is the purpose of this thread? I had someone that was like a brother to me almost die and ruin many people lives, including my own, because of drugs. But i don't have to publicly whine about it. Seriously i mean no offense, but ur acting extremely childish about this whole thing.

:iagree: This thread only brings more attention to his avatar and possible scrutiny. Also, sorry about your lost bra.

This isn't the first time someone's gotten upset over an avatar, so you should rethink your insult.

Life is too short to be offended by trivial things.

Develop a thicker skin and remember that the entire world doesn't revolve around you and you'll live longer due to a much reduced stress level.

BlackBulletTSi 06-08-2006 08:37 AM

no that avatar was just down right wrong. I honestly think a few people were offended by it and just didn't say nothing.

:iagree:

and I have a family member that is currently struggling with heroin addiction, It didn't bother me. I'm sure it wasn't meant to come acrossed the way you interpreted it.

poolmike 06-08-2006 08:47 AM

I found it to be disappointing.

hummerman88 06-08-2006 08:47 AM

do you mind telling me what the avatar was? i didnt pay much attention before.

But here's what you have to remember, it's AN AVATAR. It has NO impact whatsoever on anyones life on this board. Period.

If you get offended over things like avatars, pictures or stories posted on the internet in general, or other such trivial items, you should just toss the computer in the trash. It'll save you loads of heartache and hurt feelings.

Scapegoat 06-08-2006 09:44 AM

I'm offended by your lack of mammary glands

So I should be able have an avatar of some chicks twat, and no one should complain?

R33P3R007 06-08-2006 09:49 AM

sure, but then we would all have to pay to see any threads you post in

Someone will always find something offensive.

IMO, sure.

However, given that this site censors curse words, I'd say that things that are R rated or higher due to being sexually explicit should not be used.

I recall Nickmahhh getting banned for the explicit avatars.

drugs are illegal
at 18+ looking at pussy is legal
at any age, cursing is legal (though frowned upon)

twat > drugs

Oddly enough, pictures of drugs are not.

boostinsidewayz 06-08-2006 10:23 AM

what was it, i remember seeing it, but don't remember it being something offensive. i never took much notice.

gorilla, can you put up a link to it?

Broken5hift 06-08-2006 10:35 AM

dont rush to post up the pic or anything..........

doug 06-08-2006 10:37 AM

it's threads like this that make me want to punch an infant.

Broken5hift 06-08-2006 10:39 AM

i dont need an excuse to punch an infant. i do it because i can, and because theres a good chance they will grow up to piss me off

Evolved 06-08-2006 11:06 AM

I can't believe all the people trashing S4toSTI just because he stated his opinion. Maybe he just wanted to see if others felt the same way as he did.

Broken5hift 06-08-2006 11:09 AM

maybe i just wanna see the pic

Well its better ways he could have handled it, instead of putting Lj in the spotlight.

MPowerKai 06-08-2006 11:43 AM

yea, what was the picture?

Gohan 06-08-2006 12:31 PM

i think people on here take things a little too seriously. of course, everyone is going to have different levels of tolerance. it's the INTERNET for christ's sake, **** happens and you may see things that may or may not offend people. best thing to do is just turn the other cheek. hell, I remember I got flamed for having an avatar of a dog barking at another dog and the motto was: "STFU NOOB!". a moderator considered it "derogatory to newcomers and could possibly ward them from the site". I was threatened to be banned if it wasn't taken down, but yet somebody could have a squirrel smoking a joint as an avatar, or half naked girls and whatnot. it's the stupid, trivial stuff like that which makes my visits to this forum very infrequent
