Rooster_Ties Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 My two cents- I think a poll is pretty irrelevant here. If I felt I was offending anyone, I'd ditch the thing pronto. It's not really a cause worth "going to the mat" for, IMHO. Besides, this is b3er's crib, and he's made his feelings clear (without being "heavy" about it), so let's respect his wishes. Personally, I'm not offended by much of anything I've ever seen or read here, but this is not MY house. I think we can be just a little respectful without sacrificing our rights of speech and expression. Jim generously grants us "carte blanche" around here, let's not take that for granted.

Man with the Golden Arm Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 I'm deeply offended, Tony. I innocently looked up whippets on google image search and look what appeared! http://pages.globetrotter.net/mcordeau/2003/whippet.htm (don't ask why I looked up whippets...its coffee break time, I've been working hard...) Bloody Hell!!! I did the same search and was amazed by the quality of those 'puppy's noses', all on one page. Geez, you Brits got me all confused!

connoisseur series500 Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 I voted yes (and tipped the scales!--don't know if I'd have voted knowing I had that responsibility, I was just expressing my opinion) I voted yes because I'm a prude and hate to be reminded of the existence of sex. Actually, I think it's because I'm a sort of romantic. Your avatar, I think, plays on sex in a way that enhances rather than trashes its power, pleasure and mystery (Yes, I mystify sex, a man's gotta mystify something, for me it's sex). In it's way, it's subtle. The kicking gal is a travesty by comparison. It just reminds me of how cheap carnality can be made. It is to sex what pushing a piano out a window is to music. I think it tramples on something I hold in deep reverence. I don't think you ought to be made to not use kicking lady. I just wish you didn't. Gotta get right with sex! --eric What a bunch of tripe!

A Lark Ascending Posted April 15, 2004 Report Share Posted April 15, 2004 Geez, you Brits got me all confused! Not nearly as confused as you'll be when civilisation collapses. You'll all be desperately dialing phones that don't work and starving. We'll still be communicating via our pigeons and feasting off whippet steaks. Then it'll only be a matter of time before the Royal Navy reappears in Boston Harbour. Be nice to us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris olivarez Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 It doesn't personally bother me but I think it should go if no other reason than out of respect for the female members on the board. If the male board members want to attract more women to the board to share in all this music discussion then these are the type of things that they should be mindful of. l Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BERIGAN Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 (edited) Perhaps a poll of the women on this board might be of interest. I have a feeling Rachel and Maren don't have a problem with it, but I could be wrong. I posted Chris Farley's butt crack Gif and while I was offended, I didn't hear too many complaints.

rachel Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 I think Evan already knows that it doesn't offend me, but I voted to make it official. Actually, since the knee thing was pointed out, I'm kinda mesmerized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted April 16, 2004 Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 I'd only be offended if it was a semi-clad pic of Liz Taylor or Pat Schroeder...................nonetheless, I think that 'Free for All' has made a compelling point.

Bright Moments Posted April 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2004 to quote hall & oates, "she's gone" i decided to close the polls early (i do live in florida!) because my laptop is in the shop and i won't be able to be back on line until monday! a whole weekend without the board i'm getting the shakes already! even though counting the latter 2 catagories the "no" votes probably won, i decided that having her there was fun but it was time to move on. she is still in my personal profile for those who care to visit. thanks to all who participated i think we all learned a little more about each other!
