Blazer-These kind of arguments Always go nowhere but a bad place-BUT-I have to say its people like you and Woodson that are a HUGE problem in our world today...you hide behind this" its only my opinion bullshit" but then continue to "tell" people what should or should not be viewed...you yell about free speech but then insinuate that kind of picture should not be posted-you make me sick.........
Worm-
I disagree; often these types of arguments expose character and create peaceful discussion which may bring true enlightenment. It is the childish libel and bashing that ruin a truly interesting debate. I do not believe I am a (as you so eloquently put it) HUGE problem in the world today. I am not hiding behind anything. I am simply, calmly, and reverently stating an opinion.
The truth is your right to swing your fist ends at the start of my nose. I believe that the avatars are to be shared with the community. The avatars are a wonderful way to express ones personality. Reading any post without an avatar is like speaking to someone with a blindfold. I think this rational bodes to prohibit certain avatars to be placed in public view. To put it another way: Avatars should be your publicly viewed personality. One's avatar should be no less "restricted" than the restrictions one would put on themselves to walk down the street. In my opinion, the avatar in question is not suitable for this site. A post however, may be a bit more risqu? as that is more of a private conservation than the public persona of an avatar.
The question of internet etiquette is still debatable.
Is it ok to leave a ?lol? in a business e-mail?
Should sites be monitored for terrorist plots/actions?
Should any of us be allowed to discuss a hobby that is illegal (most of us) in the place we take residence?
The list is very long and diverse?..
I believe in etiquette, I believe in free speech and I believe in treating others with respect. I?m sorry that ?makes you sick? but maybe with a little bit of calm rationalization and understanding we can both agree to disagree.
Thanks for reading my point.
