So pray for me.
It may not seem so to all those high and mighty folks but there have been quite a few PMs in support of tolerance and parents policing their own kids vs ignorance and bible thumping. Most people just don't want to experience the wrath of the righteous so they let the vocal minority of small minded people have their way. I resepect their decision not to get in the middle of it. I'm just not wired that way so flame away.

Kinda reminds me of another guy we used to know. Whatever happened to "Shortfused" anyway?

I also think something should be done about some peoples quotes that are shown after their posts. For example, "Go Hawks". There is no reason to post this type of profanity!

My apologies to anyone I have offended if the kids have been traumatized. All in good clean fun as nothing I have posted isn't seen in higher quantity at the local shopping mall. I just wonder where it will stop? How about when the kids from daycare don't want to see blood? What will we do? It all needs to be viewed in perspective.

Well I find it just as defamatory that people suggest someone with a clothed female in their avatar is a porn junkie. I find it just as harassing and obscene that a vocal minority are able to express their values on others. We have alot of housecleaning to do if all are held to the same standard. There is an awful lot of posts joking with racial and ethnic slurs.
Anyway- I fixed at least one of the avatars in question.
You've exercised your voice and done your good deed.

And I removed the one that started all of this holyer than thou talk. Maybe I'm an atheist and don't want to read your religous views and see your Jesus Freak avatars, ever think about that.
It's crap like this censorship that you are trying to do that makes me glad I'm an Independant and not a republican. I don't think my current avatar is that bad but if you say so I guess it must be cuz you are much more inlightened than I and have many more morals. Maybe not that many as I'm sure you still let your kids watch TV and listen to the radio.

Maybe I missed something. But when did this become a church debate. It has nothing to do with where you go to church or if you are a Christian or not. It’s about keeping a GREAT Whitetail site safe for families.
My Avatar has been changed. I placed the "Jesus Freak" as a response to some of the others. There are three things in life that I am paasionate about My God, My Family, and Hunting. If I offended you, I apologize.
Bowman did not mention anything about the church in his original post (correct me if I am wrong). We all come to this site on a daily basis to get our "Whitetail" fix. Let’s keep it that way.

Well, I'd say this post has probably outlived it's original life span. Probably should have killed it after the first sarcastic rebuttal, but we figured it would mend itself along the way being as we're all grown ups here........guess it didn't. I think everyone's gotten their point across by now, so let's all be the bigger men here and let this one die, it's not adding anything positive to the site.

At the deerclassic I talked to a magazine publisher that frequents many deerhunting sites (about 20 he said) and he made no bones about this one had the most intelligent topics which IMO is a direct relection on the members here. We all like to have fun but I think it's time to delete this thread, it's going sour fast. Religion is a no win argument.

Man this is a tough one. I haven’t weighed in on the avatar issue because I don’t have a dog in this fight, or do I? I’ve been known to write some very suggestive and potentially immoral posts. I try to make sure you have to think about what was written and then “get it” and not be too explicit. So if we start policing avatars, what is next? Potentially immoral posts?
I dunno, when does censorship replace common sense? When do individual rights replace respect? Bottom line, I can do with out the T&A avatars but I can’t do without the expertise I get on this site from folks on both sides of this issue.
So I guess as individuals you have to decide if you want “family friendly” avatars or the expertise you will loose by either leaving the site or continuing to use “racy” avatars. It is a “lose-lose” situation for us all.
The point is moot, however, if one can indeed turn off the avatars.
