it don't matter to me what folks use in their avatars. I learnt, in the first week nic enabled 'em, that many were ugly or offensive, so I disabled 'em. same goes for tawdry giant-boobs, no-shadow nostril-glow renders, senseless violence, et al. - nobody's forcing me to look at 'em. :lol: however, it takes considerably less testicular fortitude to use 'rosity (or some other poser- related site) as a platform for one's hostility, than it does to set up one's own site somewhere else, and be prepared for the attacks by hackers and extemists. clearly, if one wants to use such a popular site as this for one's political platform, the only purpose is to offend the maximum number of people with the minimum effort.
