Some people just can't be reasoned with. :rolleyes:

Why someone would bother sending a PM to say they're offended boggles the mind, but I guess that's what the person thought was the right thing to do.

Some people are right though, some things are more offensive to some people than others. There are some things said or pictures posted on this site that I find offensive, but that's life. Everyone's different. Sometimes there's a deeper reason for things being viewed as offensive, but usually if that's the case, the person wont actually say it.

I went through this issue years ago when I came here after someone cracked a joke which to me was offensive.

You need to remember that in this place, if people think you should just suck it up then you'll get no sympathy, even if it's about something that's particularly difficult for you.

eta: oh yeah, flame away. :)

I checked the links. I honestly don't see why someone would be offended by the pics you posted Gravedigr.

I can see why he's aggravated. I can also see the point of the thread. I don;t see that he is telling anybody how to think. He's just venting his frustration and confusion as to why his seemingly inoffensive pics were pounced on as a cause for offense when they are probably three of the mildest pics ever to carry an NSFW tag.

I'm not saying nobody should be offended by them. As has already been stated, people are offended by different things. Whomever it was that sent the private message may have very specific reasons to find those images offensive.

For the record though Gravedigr: without an explanation from the offended party, I honestly cannot see why they were offended by your pics.

An insincere apology is worthless. If you say "I'm sorry" and then complain about the complaint on the board ......worthless, meaningless, hypocritical..... you're not remotely sorry at all. Which is fine. Maybe the complaint was ridiculous. But don't be surprised your apology isn't accepted. Not rocket science.

Awww, the poor downtrodden southern male. We need some tough legislation. :lol2:

He just needs a hug that's all

:grouphug:

HUGS!

sigh - I think the first pic Grav posted that was "NSFW", created a stir and was moved or relabeled "NSFW" by Bruce.

ETA - It may have been the image of the children hanging off the crib. It was certainly around that time.

That was somebody else putting it in IotD.

OMG what must people think of my skin pics? :eek: :right: Read my user line and feel free to use it yourself GD

Do I Look Like I Give A Rat's Ass?

No one is pressing this case more than you. Pick a new paradigm, they're free for the taking.

Like A-Rod.

If they're free I'll take two!

You'd kind of need two to have a pair...duh!

No, I want two paradigms.
