I've known all of the admins here for a long time now and I can't imagine anyone of them cussing or using bad language to any user here.

Could you clarify, please?

There was nothing "pedo" about my avatar. It was a flasher bear which I came across in the humor section of an avatar site. I don't find it anymore "pedo" than Conan's ************ Bear. However, in retrospect, I can see how it would require a weird sense of humour to find amusing, and having said that, I wouldn't use it again. Certainly wouldn't use something I, or anyone else for that matter, considered "pedo" in any way. Like I said earlier, I don't disagree with the request. Only the way it was put.

I've been a member on the forums for 2 years without any previous conflict with the staff. I am used to seeing all kinds of trash talk in forum posts, and frequently lose my temper in them myself. But person-to-person communication is different by definition.

That would get the job done just as well, with no loss of respect towards the author. There's no need to cuss or throw one's weight around.

Never heard of a 4chan bear, but ok.

That aside, the fact that it had a ***** and ********* showing never once crossed your mind as possibly being maybe just a whole lot over the line?

I was the one that asked Kao to request avatar change.

There are several borderline avatars in use on this site that I don't have issues with, but as I told Kao, I reported this because it had the "goods" showing. I personally didn't find your avatar "offensive", but it was against the rules. Next time blur it out before using it.

That's all I've got to say on the subject.

BTW, Kao, that wasn't based on Pedobear. It's from here: Not exactly work safe.

Dude, while you are right about it not really being kid friendly, those statue things have been around since I was about seven. At least, that's the earliest I remember seeing them about town. I don't think 4chan was around that far back?
