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

[Grinch]

Thats the thing it doesnt bother me if someone does take my avitar for some sort violent threat too. Either way im fine with it and stand by it. But honestly a little troubling that you would even make the connection. Dont the men and women in blue protect and serve ? Again a very odd connection, maybe this is more evidence how society is being conditioned to think a certain way by our beloved media

My problem or question is why did you find it confusing that the cracked skull was meant the way you interpreted it ? Do you feel law enforcement harbors such feeling ? That they would harm others thar disagree with them ?

I picked on you and your avatar to make my point partially out of convenience, partially because it was easily/obviously connected it to a real societal hot-button issue, and partially because I knew you could handle it. As for the cracked skull specifically, my point was simply the meaning is ambiguous and therefore open to individual interpretation (as is any avatar, but yours serves the purpose of making this point very well).

I could just as easily have picked Imsobored152 and pointed out that his avatar looks like an ice cream sandwich minus the ice cream, which is offensive to ice cream lovers everywhere.

btw, why is this jonah guy called the rainbow warrior? is he a guy that kicks ass but is a little fruity?

Everyone has been tiptoeing around this, but this guy has accused everyone of being bigots,sexist and racist. He even called me a white supremacist because I stated historical facts.

Picked on ? Dont see it that way but its cool.

Im still dont see a point made. You can take any avatar and find something off with it. How a cracked skull = violent threat is still beyond me...over active imagination?

If we are still referring to tje demonic avatar its the person tjat i dont like...avatar is just icing on the cake

He's likely one of the tumblr users who believes there's more than 2 genders.

2 genders, multiple sexualities. The gender thing is pretty weird

In humans, there are two distinctly different sexes (male and female) based on genotype (chromosomal composition as well as the allele frequency of their genome) and phenotype (outward appearance/behavior). A small percentage of humans have naturally occurring traits of both of the other sexes; these people are classified as "intersex". These mixed traits can be both genotypic and phenotypic.

Gender is not the same as sex.

Sexuality is not the same as gender or sex.

He helped me with some amphibian related issues. Definitely had useful knowledge. What happened? Why was he banned?
