I've already excepted my fate that I will have to take my chances on getting caught with risque avatars on my screen. I will never report anyone nor ask them to take their avatar down, but I will have a civil discussion about it and bring up valid points...
hahaha funny thing i usually do try to scroll past your avatar quickly... i'm sure it would catch the eye of someone passing by. and not because of the 'bawlz in yo mouf' part, but because it's just kind of violent.

Thanks, could you please do so?

My original post that you posted was civil. You only got defensive after I made the pimply faced goons comment about DNF. From there everyone got worked up and decided they would rather just "pwn" me. I've been more civil in this thread than the opposing camp.

this isn't a court of law, it's a forum. just saying. lots of sh*t that happens here isn't fair. threads are closed stating certain TOU violations while others who violate the same section of the TOU continue to live on and thrive. it's just the way it is.

I didn't see the "elyse's ***" pic, but...

You work at Fredricks of Hollywood, and a picture of an *** in a thong or a barely covered nipple is inappropriate? Isn't that your job?

craig come on. you rag on OT people as often as you can, just because we don't post in the z/tech sections as much as you do. we can't convince you that we are knowledgable about cars, that we do read the tech sections, but choose to post in the OT. so any chance you gain you call us attention-seeking post ******.

One does not have to be present in a court of law to practice common sense.

Probably PG13.

I think side-boob bumps it up to PG13.

Lets put it this way... Shrek was PG...

my job isn't to have pictures of almost-naked people on my screen, unless i'm on our site or our competitor's sites. yes, that sounds hypocritical, but if you think about it it's not. fredericks.com and victoriassecret.com are about lingerie, are about my job. my350z.com is not.

Trust me, if I did that at every chance you would never hear the end of it. I actually go out of my way to not post most of the time.

You're reaching now. This argument is well below the scope of the Hawk's intelligence.

I have NO right whatsoever to dictate what others can and can't do. Thank you Sigmund Freud for analyzing me. It makes me tingle in my funny places because I get a stronge sense of accomplishment AND power. No one individual is trying to impose anything. We're asking for the common courtesy (something which you have NO concept of) to maybe follow the rules and the precedent set. Mods have already deemed what isn't appropriate so instead of going against the grain why not try to play it cool and be mindful of the other people on this site?

common sense dictates that a barely-covered human body is not safe for work for probably 85% of work environments.

Common sense hasn't figured into the opposing side of this argument all day.
