They don't bother me.

Though my little winker seemed to get on people's nerves.

Oh, and besides the eye, LYY didn't like my Nellie Olsen, from the Little Houise on the Prairie, avatar.:D

Re: What avatars annoy you?
 
I dont really mind them either so long as they,re respectable (same reason as cashy)

I love to see the different ones although the real flashy ones can be irritating and a bit strong on the eyes, and to be honest you can choose not to look at them but if theyre in threads then you dont really get chance to avoid them without leaving the site.

So I suppose you got to take in consideration for other users.

I didn't like the walking bear either - but I didn't put in a complaint about it.
It symbolised aggression to me - if you want to invite hostility by using such an avatar, OK.

The ones that I say 'yuk' to are the football related ones which gives me the impression of an obsessive fanatic.

There is only one that I find to be insulting.

accyman – Whose avatar reads: “You are not able to view this user’s picture because you are too stupid”

Now I wonder who is going to be the first person to come back with a comment about no sense of humour?

My complaint was not even answered let alone actually addressed.

Not all that rare. Have you looked at your profile lately? Your comment made on 18-08-2008 at 18:28 reads:
if you have spent enough time looking atthis page to notice this message then you truely are a nosey ….. (the thinly disguised foul language has been deleted)

And then there is that comment that you left when awarding some Karma (which happened to be good Karma :lol: :rofl38:) that reads:
heres some of that bad stuff you moan about you ….. (the thinly disguised foul language has been deleted) I don’t want the self appointed policeman Neil butting in.

All within the space of two weeks. Hardly rare is it? Not that I expect you to agree. You and some others will disagree with me on principle even if they agree.

No Mancie, but I did know what the reaction was likely to be. And I wasn’t wrong.

According to a number of members of this forum I am not supposed to have my own opinion but have to fall in line with theirs and if I don’t then I get vilified and then the sycophants join in.

I would remind you that I didn’t start this thread with the title of “What avatars annoy you?”

I just answered the question. Was that wrong?

An avatar that reads, “You are not able to view this user’s picture because you are too stupid” does annoy me and I found it to be offensive. I complained about it not because it was annoying but because it was offensive. Annoyances - I shrug off.

I see that accyman’s thinly disguised foul language post has been deleted. However the contents of that post gave me the clue as to who it was who tried to award me some negative Karma and making a nasty comment using the same format of thinly disguised foul language, but only succeeded in awarding some positive Karma. Which as far as I am concerned is the joke of the century. :rofl38::rofl38::rofl38:Maybe accyman cannot see the picture in his own avatar?

cashman 02-09-2008 13:29

Re: What avatars annoy you?
 
certainly you are entitled to your opinion jambutty, everyone is. but as no-one else replied to my post- was it offensive? i would seriously question myself as to why i and no-one else thought it was.:rolleyes:

Royboy, I mentioned your avatar to you yourself at one time. There was a faulty frame in it which caused it to flash on and off. It didn't affect everyone but it did give me a blinding headache if I was trying to read your posts. I had the option of ignoring your posts but I didn't really want to do that. I know you said that you couldn't see the problem yourself. You may recall that I copied the gif, edited out the damaged frame and then I think I sent it back to you to substitute for the faulty version. I do know that for a while the none flashing version was used and I really appreciated that.

However, at some later stage you changed it, possible for a football one, and then put the original Butch back again with the faulty frame and I was back to square one so instead of bothering you again about it I asked Mick if he could swap it for the mended version - I know he has swapped avatars in the past when people have posted ones which contravened site regulations.

Instead of doing that though it sounds like he contacted you and asked you to do it yourself.

All I was asking for was the same avatar but without the damaged frame which caused me problems. I'm sorry if you took offence at that as none was intended and you didn't seem to mind the first time round.

WillowTheWhisp 02-09-2008 18:32

Re: What avatars annoy you?
 
I'm sorry Royboy and Len - I thought it was Mick who sorted it out the first time. My memory plays tricks on me sometimes. I didn't ask for it to be removed. I was only wanting the non flashing version instead of the flashing version so that I could read your posts without my eyes going funny and getting a headache from trying to cope with the bit of flashing.

So just because no one else replied to your post you jump to the conclusion that they, like you, didn’t find the avatar offensive.

A bit presumptuous isn’t it?

If ever proof were needed that you and a few others think that I should fall into line with your views, this is it.

Here are a few reasons why no one responded.

No one read your post
No one could be bothered answering.
Frightened of agreeing with me for fear of what the bully clique would say.
They like to be called stupid.

This issue sure does remind me of the story of the King’s new clothes.

A search of the forum members’ list does not reveal a member named Fruit Conserve Sandwich so it is patently obvious that you are addressing an imaginary person. Shame that but it does confirm your location of “The edge of reality”. Anyone who addresses an imaginary person has to have stepped over the edge.

Which would explain the descent into puerile name calling and the lack of understanding what is a royal wave and what is not.

A royal wave is one where the BACK OF THE HAND is towards the people being waved to.

A normal greetings wave is one where the PALM OF THE HAND is towards the person being waved to. Showing the palm of the hand indicates that there is no weapon in the hand and thus a friendly wave.

So that shoots down in flames yet another attempt at trying, and failing, to be smart.

That must be the nearest you have ever come to admitting you can be wrong. Please don't be so hard on yourself in future, it is only a small step so far, but with a little more therapy you might even be seen to agree with someone publicly.

Don't bother to report this post, I'll save you a job and report it myself!

P.S. I for one don't find your avator annoying, self centred yes, but annoying never.

You forgot something.

You forgot that once a post has been made an email goes out to all who subscribe to that thread with the content of your post.

Or maybe you didn’t forget and this is just a childish way of ingratiating yourself with the anti jambutty members to show how brave you are to break the forum rules and slag me off.

Therefore I cannot possibly think of myself as God.

That "fat person", Bee, was the first woman to represent Liverpool in Parliament. You should pay more attention in history lessons!

She was a good person Bee.

A hero to many.

Me included.

'Battling Bessie'

To the working class of Liverpool she was “our Bessie”, but to the media she was “Battling Bessie”. Throughout her life, Elizabeth Braddock campaigned tirelessly, and without restraint, to improve conditions for her home city’s under-privileged. Yet, it is not her work for mental health reforms, the barrow girls or prison conditions for which she is most famously remembered; instead it is her larger-than-life political tactics and frequent clashes with the press.

Bessie used extraordinary tactics to draw attention to causes which she felt passionately about, yet her unconventional methods were used against her by her critics and political opponents. Her legend as fiery female MP, not afraid to use air-rifles and megaphones to get her point across, both helped and hindered her in her work to improve the lot of the working-class.


Bessie’s fearless stance in the face of tradition, etiquette and chauvinism made her a dangerous and unpredictable political opponent. Her critics and opposition were forced to use her physical appearance and unconventional tactics to undermine her.

Besides, it's a good photograph.

A threatening, raised fist, and a wry smile.

Good concept.

:D

Bessie was one of a dying breed- a socialist.

No Cashy, she was a true socialist, in a different class to those who would label themselves such today. These champagne socialists(tories in navvy gear) could learn a lot from her.

I wouldn't rate her chances in the Labour party of today.

Don't think she would have been one of Blair's Babes, or her had her number stored in EdM's BlackBerry.

Not many Battling Bessies today.

More's the pity.

??..must have missed the "moving avatar" but the new one is quite interesting - at first glance I thought it was by Gainsborough but I looked it up and it's by Goya....this nugget of information is now stored and may stand me in good stead for the trivia quiz. After tonight's performance I need all the help I can get.

Thank Heavens, I thought I was loosing it, couldn't work out why Bee thought the blue boy avitar was a winking Chinese, thought it might be too subtle for me.
I thought it was Gainsbouroughs 'Blueboy' although I don't remember him having blond hair.
Very similar?
