My offensive avatar!

[VJ]

The way I see it, she's tough, but still feminine, can keep other women from laying claim to her man, and she's ... "open to new things".

Da iz righ' on, dude!

And who says I'm not "contributing"? This avatar (not the fat guy, the scary girl) generated more "complaint" button presses than anything to happen on MURC since... well... since I left.

Complaints in what way? I mean, people could be complaining that she isn't on the forum (just as an example) .

Fo shizzle, my bizzle!

I dunno. Apparently a bunch of prudish whiney b**ches got all up in moral arms and hit their complaint button or some s**t.

I think they should probably just go f**k themselves in the a** with the spikey c**k from her costume, but that's my personal opinion and in no way represents the official stance of the moderators of this fine forum - whose official stance is more or less that they don't like getting dozens of complaints from whiney b**ches about my avatar.

You wouldn't have complaints if you weren't being so damn offensive as a whole. The old GURM was short and to the point, and only offensive when attacked...the new ebonics gurm can go away

Uhm, the way I see it she'd liked you to be open to uhm, you know what.

Otherwise, what Dil said.

I was kinda hoping you intended to hang around here, rather than get yourself banninanted off the boards again.

Yep, same here... I do hope it doesn't come to something like that.

Personally, I wasn't offended by anything in this thread, or even in other postings by Gurm (but perhaps I missed some ). But seeing that there have been some complaints on that picture, and judging by the general tendency of the posts, I can't help but feel a bit sadened: have we gotten this narrow-minded ? Perhaps I'm a bit too open minded on some things, but I could see the humour in some of his postings. And concerning the picture: one could expect a controversial picture from the general tone of the post. Please, let's not start a witch hunt. I'm not saying you are a witch, Gurm

Just my 2 cents.

edit: Ok, I didn't know the "lady" was set as an avatar... I would agree that to be a bit over the top (as it could appear in all threads without warning).

All criticism of me has been deemed "offensive" speech and shall be reported using the little biohazard button. Free speech be damned!

Hehe - all foolishness aside, I'm surprised that certain people fail to see a statement that's pretty blatant.

You'll note that I have a tendency to get offensive in proportion to perception of offense. For example, let's review recent events:

0:00 Hours - Ebonics post. Zero offensiveness, just irritating.
0:01 Hours - Avatar changed to spikey-penised real-life anime lady.
0:05 Hours - Dozens of complaints about spikey-penised real-life anime lady.
0:10 Hours - "You think that was offensive? I'll show you offensive!"

See how that works? B**ch about something that's tame and harmless, and things get ratcheted up a notch. B**ch about that level, and get personally targeted. Simple, really!

[Dilitante1]

Immature....REALLY!

[Gurm]

Immature....REALLY!

You're free to feel that way, but honestly look at it from this point of view:

A picture, which was NOT vulgar, was posted. It generated more complaints than practically any other post on this board.

How sad is that? That there are enough intolerant a**holes here that would rather immediately IM a moderator or hit their "complain" button than tolerate a PG-rated picture that, mind you, is so small at 75x75 pixels that you couldn't have seen anything even if it WERE offensive!

That's what's childish. The "OFMGHI2U!!!1ONE Gurm posted something obscene I have to complain and WHINE LIKE A LITTLE RETARDED BABY!!!!!!!!!!!11111ONE11111ONE".

The fact that, in response to that, those people get called out for being the whiney, f***tards that they are... is irrelevant in comparison.

In other words you are flame baiting, and as such tempting the ire of the Mods here with your recent appearance. You pushed your luck before and were chill-boxed, I remind you a second cool-down is coming if your antics continue.......

Nope. I'm absolutely NOT flame-baiting. I like that picture, I thought I'd share. I had no intention of getting flamed, and was pretty surprised when I did.

And why, do you think, after my previous "I'm not coming back until I'm invited back", did I reappear? Use your brain, put two and two together.

Besides, a certain ex-mod is also on the outs around here, which means that I'm unlikely to get THAT riled up.

So seriously - what is it that gets your goat so much? Scantily clad women? Self-censored faux-foul language? Implied sexuality? C'mon - open up. Let us all know just how repressed you are!

[xortam]

... banninanted ...

Onh-uh??? (In my best Scooby Doo voice).


Lay down the pipe Gurm. Oh well ... useless banter is better than nothing I guess. The forums had gotten so boring this last year or so.

[Lizzard[MPE]]

all of you shut up. there. situation handled. gurm- stop reporting your own posts. lol

[xortam]

Shhhh Gurm ... you woke up Lizzie.

[KvHagedorn]

Most people here, I am supposing, just don't like looking at cartoon cocks on Asian BDSM leather matrons, even when presented at tiny resolutions. (One is always bound to see the worst when you can't quite make out what it is.) Nothing weird at taking offense at that. If I had a 5yo daughter sitting with me when browsing these forums, I would not want to have to explain what that was all about either. Nothing against you looking at this sort of thing all day if it floats your boat, but c'mon.. discretion is the better part of valor.
