I have ABANDONED MacRumors, where I had about 1500 posts. They have "Demi-God". They forget what it's like to be newer to the forums, and not knowing certain customs. while some don't, they do sometimes.I got sick of this disrespect that creates. Here, it's member, mod, and Admins. I love that.



I LOVE IT HERE! There isn't disrespect!

Except for your Avatar. Studies have shown it kills animals and causes temporary blindness in small children.

Funky to me means, fun/groovy/cool. That avatar sure isn't any of those things. It's more like making fun of minorities, whatever they may be. :radioacti

looked like a girl with down's syndrome in a high wind.
below her face was the word "convicted" - black on yellow.

A fat, mentally retarded woman. When you have someone in your family that is mentally retarded... I don't know, bothers the heck outta me when people make fun of people who can't defend themselves.

If that makes me an avatar nazi, so be it.

Oh. I kind of remember that, but never looked close enough to see it was supposed to be a person with mental problems. On one side, I say you have to be able to laugh at anything because I'm sure everyone has found something funny that offended someone else, but on the other side is the matter of respect and restraint. It's the age-old argument.

are you sure?
do you know who she was?
she only looked like she might have been in her teens or twenties. though sometimes down's will make you look younger than you are.
