Hey guys. I just wanted a preview on my new sig. I don't mean it in a racial way, it is just a part of southern culture and heritage. But I completely understand if someone doesn't like it. Just let me know and I'll be sure to make a new one. Thanks!

It is a part of my southern culture not any radical beliefs. If you find it inappropriate or offensive, please let me know! Thanks for your understanding. -------------------- For old times: Thanks Gene, long live MoH:AA!

SInce I have been mentioned indirectly here, lets stay on topic, and look at this from another perspective....
A few months ago, it was mentioned that certain avatars be removed due to their violent and/or sexual nature. The debate then, was that we are playing a game based on violence, and thet it was hypocritical to encourage violence in the games, yet on the forums, that support said gaming, we are offended by CLOTHED breasts. The debate then turned to, the ability for one to turn off their avatars/sigs. Doing something noble, which is rare for me, since it OFFENDED a small portion of the clan, I removed my avatar. I did not fight it, and I certainly would not have done it this way... If you don't like my 420x180 pixel square, then you need to man up and quit complaining. It isn't a big deal, and it is staying up until a member of {MOB}, [Regs], or someone with some authority asks me to remove it, or until I decide that it is time for me to make a new one. [color=#FFFFFF] Following that, I was asked by several members of the clan to put up not only my original avatar, but it was asked that I rotate different avatars to keep it fresh. There was no 3 page debate on this, and it was open for all to see. Not one person who originally had an issue with it sent me a PM, spoke to me on vent, or posted any follow ups to the choice. I have not had anyone mention that they were offended or bothered by it and by all means, there has been plenty of time for anyone to do so. So, AXEL, since you TWICE used the same quote to back up your point (the same point you have changed your mind on a few times in the same thread) I feel your responses were directed in my general direvtion. I was going to leave it alone until you posted your lovely submission above. Here is the bottom line from MY perspective. I dont care about your flag, or your sig. I can see past that. It haa been stated by a few members of mob and regs that they A. find it offensive yet support your right to use it, and B. believe you knew it would be offensive to some or you would not have had to ask. I have an issue with the way you stated your point in the post above. Please, pretty please, do not come in here and try and piss all over the place. We have several resident "pissers" and are in no need of anymore. |
