Does anyone find my current Avatar offensive/sexist/racist/likely to cost them their job?

    1) A copy of that photo is up in the lobby at the Central Library.

    B) Do you need to be an attention whore all the time?

    The problem with the old avatar has been discussed to death, you know very well why many people objected to it, and I think this question is an attempt to stir the whole mess up again.

    If you really want to attract attention to yourself, we can talk about what a fraud you are...

    I've also told you who she is before. And while you may think she's ugly and stern-looking, that image isn't likely to get anyone in trouble at work and it's unlikely anyone would seriously argue that Little Edie Bouvier is pornographic or degrading to women.

    Again, it appears you're only trying to stir shit up with this thread. It's tired. Sorry, but it doesn't appear that many people are jumping in to take the bait this time. I don't understand why you feel the need to do this when, at other times, you have interesting things to contribute to this site. Please cut it out.

    Nope. Nobody's saying (at least not me, anyway) that Edie Bouvier is pornographic or degrading. I merely said i find her ugly. As for me asking whether my Avatar is considered offensive or not, I really did have to ask since some people seem so sensitive.

    Why don't you ask Precious Williams?

    The Rules.
    -Try to pick one username and stick with it. If you start posting under different identities, do not be surprised when people get angry with you, or try to "out" you publicly as masquerading.
    Shouldn't there be some serious consideration of banning her for sock puppetry and for general stirring of shit? It really is tired. I mean, it's amusing when I feel like crushing someone, but give it a rest.

    I've no idea what sock puppetry is but as for "masquerading" - have fun "outing" me. I am 100% sure that you have no idea of my real identity, (although you clearly think that you do, haha) so go ahead and please do "out" me. All you'll do is make a fool of yourself and others, and my true identity will remain a mystery. [/i]

    Nope it's Big Daddy Kane and his barber. Interesting (although hardly surprising, I guess) that nobody recognized him.

    No, I don't know your real identity, and I really don't care to... what I DO know is that you pretend to be someone that you're not and that you use the relative anonymity of the boards as front for your bitchery.

    Just curious - why do you capitalize 'escort'? It's not like being a Realtor. Or is there a National Association of Escorts I'm not familiar with.

    The evidence that you and Precious are one and the same is overwhelming - not that I really care. What I DO care about is your demeaning attitude towards other posters. Stop being a bitch and we'll get off your back; unless you're being a bitch, you're just not interesting enough to despise.

    Ya should probably stick to selling stereos, WF, since detective work doesn't appear to be where your talents lay

    Yes there is an official organization for us Escorts. And I consider my chosen career as an Escort to be every bit as "official" as being a Realtor.

    Oh and a quick aside, several of you complained that this thread was unecessary or that my intention was to "start stuff". If you feel this way, please feel free to IGNORE the thread rather than posting in it. It seems strange and hypocritical that you would post in this thread if you find it so offensive. But then I guess a couple of you are strange and hypocritical. ;)

    Enough with the bickering, guys. This original topic of this thread is flamebait, and even if you disagree about that, it clearly hasn't generated any meaningful discussion, so I'm locking it for now.
