I'm with od... it doesn't particularly offend me personally, I just think it's a disrespectful thing to do... and like earthleakage said, his whole attitude behind the avatar is just lame... goodness man, it's almost like you're glorifying what happened... and that's not right...

Sadly Reflex, I agree......but I respect your right to choose whatever avatar you want. We'll have to agree to disagreee on this one.

well whatever im glad that some people have realized that its not so bad, and deal with it.
I was never right, but i never said I was. I was just defending my pic, because I have a right to depict what I want. Im sorry to those of you who do not like it, but Im going to keep it for a while, until I feel like I dont want it anymore, like all my others.

I've been asked by a mod to change an avatar before, and also had one taken off - the fact that Reflex's is still around means the webmaster's plainly don't care. I don't either, it's just another image as far as I'm concerned. Sure it was an horrific incident, but having the pic as an avatar isn't necessarily in bad taste. Bad taste was that comedy sketch I saw which set the attacks to music, man alive that was funny...

LEAVE IT BE!
talk about something different, this MB was made to discuss music and all that, not cheap shots to ppl and complaints.
I FEEL LIKE IM IN TEEN CHAT FULL OF DUMB PREPEUBECENTS FIGHTING OVER WHAT THEIR PERSPECTIVE OF RIGHT IS.

I dont think anybody would have complained if the avatar showed a pic of bagdad destroyed.
on the other hand.... would the mods allow a nazi avatar? this is a complicated subject indeed.
personally reflex avatar doesnt bother me even though I feel respect for the victims and their relatives

i think people most certainly would take offense if someone had an avatar depicting a blown up building in bagdad, and expressed the reason they had it was because the iraqi people needed to realize that bad things happen, and that most iraqis were morons, etc...
it would be hard for me to care less about what someone on this board chooses for an avatar. it was the attitude behind it that i thought was naive.
seems to me reflex was trying to stir shit... which is exactly what he was able to do. i don't mind debates, and differing viewpoints. i'd say that's probably why most of us come here. the only reason i said anything in that other thread was because i wasn't seeing reflex make a point, just re-expressing his feelings about the people who disagreed with his avvy, and americans in general. which is fine, but it's no exchange of ideas... just elementry school name calling.

i would understand if the avatar was of dead bodies, but its only a plane going into a building, you cant see the death or feel sorry for a building...buildings being blown up are funny and that is what the avatatr is of. if it reminds you of the people that died a few seconds later then thats not reflex's fault.

Think of it this way. If reflex happened to be american and said "i'm using it to pay homage" no one would care.
Why view this picture as bad taste? Those people died. But they didn't die in vein. It alerted our country that people hate us. So we steped up and created a homeland defense department.
Think of all the terrorist attacks we prevented since then. There are a lot.

this avatar is a piece of bad taste - or in other way - very good way to present yourself as a "controversial pesron"
i think that there are better ways to do that
btw , if someone asks politely , like few people here - in good taste is to listen them , i think

it is a picture , but picture that means a lot - its not stupid picture of santa claus or somethin'
what if i put some picture from rotten.con in my avatar ?

That really woundn't matter. Reflex has had some distrubing avatars.

you just annoy me.. the way you always have to defend yourself and apparently looking to get into a fight with someone
dear earthleakage please shut the fuck up - i dont want to argue anymore why i cant see you complaini on onyone else but me ? is it destiny ? hyaku
P.S. waiting for reply
can you see how odd that is, telling him to shut up becuz you dont wanna argue no more.. and after saying you wanna go on. I dont care if its supposed to be ironic, but your way of discussing things just upsets a lot of people, obviously.
thats it, i told what i think about your way of getting your point across.. and im getting tired of this shit
period.

anyway.... why worrying about this? only if a mod wants will he have to change it, if doesnt want to
so if its ok for mods... then it doesnt matter how much you cry for him not changing it.
let the mods do their work... and dont look at it if you dont like it...

i dont remember tellin u to ,. i asked nicely from the start best i recall, but ill check again... my argument wasnt yellin at u to take it off somuch as it was my beliefs in respecting the dead... i dont think itd be too much .. putting hats on it.. maybe having lil ginger bread men falling would but not hats .. oh no... not hats....
it was a sorta 50/50 placement of me with this conflict ,as alot i do in my life is contraversial i dont really like tellin others what to do ,. and when it grew to what it was , aside from simple asking (it turned into a bloody jihad) i had to back u on it..,

This thread makes me picture a scene of a little boy, sitting in a front yard, burning ants with a magnifying glass - but he only burns the ones who scream. The boy thinks its terribly entertaining, as do the other little boys gathered around him. The adults in the house watch him from the window and worry of the boy's future, fear that he'll never grow up, wonder if he'll ever amount to anything decent. The grandmother sits in the corner and feels sorry for the poor stupid ants - the ones who can't help but to scream, the ones who don't realize that if they'd just be quiet they'd be alright... but, after all, they are just ants...
...screaming ants...
...and that's sort of strange.
