getting the finger every time I read a thread

#1 Post by AdrianTM »

I don't know about you but this is tiresome, I'm against censorship in general but having pictures even of babies giving you the finger is not witty is just plain stupid -- and that's become annoying and tiresome (seeing stupidity over and over again).

What's next, a goatse avatar and telling people to disable avatars if they don't like it?

So because of somebody who stretches the common sense I have to disable avatars?

Doesn't sound reasonable to me to disable all the avatars because of one idiot.

To add to this, neither making other people miss your avatar is reasonable, people should fully enjoy your personality, I just want to be able to add you on the ignore list, it's not much I ask...

Actually now that I think a bit, I don't think the finger is the main source of my dislike, I probably hate babies more... again, nothing wrong with babies, people should see all the babies in the world in all the avatars and look at them all day long for what I care, I just want the possibility to put you on the ignore list and get rid of your avatar without having to recourse to some inconvenient means like using adblock or having to disable all the avatars.

You can not be serious!?? A baby giving you the finger? Who cares?? What's next? May cat avatar looking at you with lustful eyes?

I'm seriously tired of this crap!

Here is a free tip: Use an adblocker. There are (and have been) a whole bunch of avatars I don't like here, even a few I find offensive. Guess what I do? I block them at my end because it's not fair to demand that every one else should adapt to my personal quirks.

And now some of you probably will try to find something really nasty to use as an avatar. That of course will get it deleted and we'll get a new discussion about how unfair it is that someone can have a baby showing the finger but you can not have tubgirl. Well, that's life...

I now want this to stop. Go outside, get some fresh air, go hiking in the woods, take your wife/ husband/ girlfriend/ boyfriend to dinner, enjoy life for a while... and soon a silly little avatar, or even silly little person, on the internet seem mighty irrelevant.

Ok? Thanks :)

AdrianTM wrote:... I probably hate babies more...
So now you are saying you dislike babies and because of my avatar having a baby in it you expect the forum admins/mods to revoke my spam-buster powers just so you can add me to the foe list....because I have a baby for a avatar...a baby....for a avatar....

Thats it.....I want JoeyHess powers removed because I dislike him and he is shown in his avatar....and I want mzilikazi powers removed because I dislike penguins and his avatar is a penguin...and cats....ugh....dont even get me started....

it is a baby with a little finger sticking up....he cannot possibly know what he is doing....so you have to be taking it out of context and affixing a meaning to it....

...heck, I will change my avatar soon.... I was going to change it tonight (and boy did I have a good one) but I think I will keep this one a while now...unless you ask... :wink:

I like cats, I don't mind if they look lustful at me.

OK, if the site admin said that's fine to be given the finger then what can we do... Oh, why don't you do the normal and easiest thing that was requested before, take the dude out of the admin list and then we can deal with his posts as we want.

Too bad that my browser doesn't have adblock but I won't change my browser for this reason alone.

Last I recall, you used Opera. You can do individual image blocking with Opera very easily (no add-on required). It's dead easy: http://operawiki.info/BlockAdvertisements. (There are fancier methods too, but this one works well for one-off blocking of a single image or item.)

It's funny: I saw that image a lot too (when it was Dean's avatar), but I never thought the kid was giving me the finger. I leave it as an exercise for the reader to decide who I thought the baby was flipping off...
