How considerate should we be when we choose a screen name... and in general?

Surprised no one has complained about this person's avatar as it is borderline nudity.

No please, not that one. That's my all time favorite avatar.

As for thebiggerthebetter being offended I totally understand and respect his feelings. They are a testament to his conviction about his faith and in this case if we had more solid proof the member would be violating TOS. Think of all the people who think you're either crazy or a fool to spend so much time and money on fish. They totally don't get where we're coming from but that doesn't mean we don't deserve their respect.

Waiting for thebiggerthebetter to return here and explain his reasoning

THANK YOU! lol I enjoy seeing that avatar pop up in the marketplace from time to time!

Sorry, I had to. It's something I don't want on my screen when the wife comes to talk to me or is standing behind me.

Hopefully he will but I'm pretty sure it's because he believes the name is a play on a biblical name.

By the way the last part of my post wasn't directed at you in particular just toward anyone who thinks TBTB is overreacting. While they might not feel the same I'm hoping they can still respect his feelings.

I respect his feelings towards the issue I just find being offended by anything trivial in this day and age is all, and will always make fun of it lol.

I know where you're and others are coming from. Society has become overly sensitive. To clarify I'm not saying TBTB is, I'm just generalizing. From participation awards to bullying and everything in between. Is it wrong to bully? Yeah but it's also a part of life. We're teaching our kids to give words more power then they should. You can see that in their reactions. School shootings and suicides because they where picked on.

Back in the day you took your lumps and kept it moving. Your parents taught you to become strong in spite of it. Now people are coddled so much that anything that gets through that protective blanket devastates people. It's like what's happening with medicine. The more we try to prevent and over treat the more fragile our bodies are becoming. Life needs adversity to flourish and grow.

lol my dad's advice to me if I got hit in school was, and I quote, to "swing until either you or them is knocked out, either way make sure they aren't walking away either." lol I'll give my kids the same advice.

With the softening of society comes the softening of bullies too though...they moved from pushing kids into a locker to bringing them down emotionally on social media...thus creating the issue you've stated above with kids acting out violently after being pushed for too long.
