With the help with an unnamed co- conspirator....I changed my wimpy avatar on ANOTHER list to one that was ....well....shaiking titties....
Funny THANG.....while back....I had an avatar that was three females that were butt to butt.....REALLY tiny as they limit it to 50x50......
Some tight ass weenie bitched.......BUT NOW....24 hours later....not one complaint.....
Hmmmm, winter keeps the east coast losers in check?????

Personally, I could do without the juvenile antics - makes me think I should shut off the avatars in my profile.

I have to turn them off at work. I turn them on at home! Sure its Juvenile, but I've no need to get older than I am, quicker than I do.

I've always left avatars on - I liked seeing pictures of folks cars & such. But after MikeZ's latest, I'm turning them off. I don't understand the need of folks in this forum to denegrate women. Enough is enough.
Hawktel
Nov 11 2003, 08:50 PM
I'm sorry Ernie. I don't consider me looking at pictures of nakid women to be denegrating to them, anymore than looking at a new 911's to be denegrating to my poor old 70 teener.
My Girlfriend doesn't care if I look, Heck she pays for the Playboy subscription, and the spice channel. Having known alot of women who put it on display, most of them are fine with it also. But, Don't worry, I don't mind if you don't look.

I once posted a shot of my hairy,,,,,,,,,,,,,chest. Everyone ASSumed it was butt cleavage....but I never got a "complaint"......just some nasty comments.
Last time I checked, we have a constitutional right to express an opinion.....dropping your pants and turning around to show an opinion is a age old way to disrespect authority........"I" think dropping trow is funnier than hell.......
But hey, I'm just a minority dickhead with an opinion.......

Nov 11 2003, 09:53 PM
For the record, I find them offensive.
But I haven't complained about them, and I'm not going to complain about them now.
Things that I consider worth fighting for? On a scale of one to ten, getting my degree is a ten. Do not try to get in the way of my finishing college. Human rights, civil rights, equal rights? Those rate about a nine. Keeping my job is about a seven.
But avatars on the 914 club BBS? That's about a 0.0003.
I don't like it, but I don't have to like it. I don't have to agree with everything that's said & done here or be agreed with all the time to be happy reading and posting here.
And in any case, I find that all of the avatars displayed here do exactly what they're supposed to do: reveal an aspect of the poster's personality.

I agree ... it's totally unnecessary, especially when women also view/post on this site; it's just plain disrespectful.
True, the Constitution protects your right to "free speech," but others also have the right NOT to listen, or deal with it.

I expect it from Zois and I know that he knows where the line is. I see Miles' avatars and I know he is a nut case like me.
The cool thing about the avatars... people always change them. I figured out quickly who the 3 people where that would post questionable avatars from time to time. I also know that they wont be "questionable" all the time. They will change it when they are tired of it. I refuse to "control" everything like other sites do. I'm not a good babysitter.
Something I figured out in business that applies to this BBS.. "you will not keep 100% of the people happy with your decisions 100% of the time" Once you get past trying to make "everyone" happy.. life is much easier.

I might be a little more jaded that some here. I work as a bartender in Las Vegas.

I have yet to see an avatar that offends me.

As a relative newbie to this kick azz site, but i would like to weigh in. Cars and women go together like beer and pretzels, or peanut butter and jelly.
Cars are for adults, and the internet is for adults. Kids need to be supervised whenever they are on the internet.
These are tame by comparison, and are in good taste. If your 'work' does not approve, turn them off.

You go Mikey!!!! The one thing that I like about this list is that people can weigh in on anything! It is NPC and in a world of political corectness this is cool. I USED to work for a so called Christian company - what a bunch of winers and backstabers (at least there). Notice I said used to. Where I work now we can look at this site - just know who is looking with you.
I salute you Mikey!!
But I hafta tell you - I really liked Karl's avatar from the other day!

I recall that special 914club "Sticker" that Brad sent Zois a few months back. That one was hella funny. Zois posted the results..
The 914world.com would not be the same without Zios's classic one-liners and silly Avatars.

I like mikez's current avatar (helmet with bunny ears). reminds me of a true story:
John and Judy Boles (former PCA president) were moving. They had the 67 911S packed full. John's helmet, he was a fighter pilot, was sitting on Judy's lap. She got bored and put it on her head. The reaction from other drivers forced her to take it off, to prevent accidents. They got a real laugh out of that.

Queenie,
Nail hit squarely on the head! Everything that one posts is a direct reflection of the perception that is created on the NET. As such, some use the net to create false impressions, or create an image or protrayal of something which they are not and only hope to be. (And) Some merely hide behind its' annonymity. No need to explain yourselves,
cause you've already made it clear who you are.
Queenie, from my perspective, you've always presented an admirable attitude amongst "the guys" on this list. Clever and joyful posts, and you don't mind a little sparring. At my age, I've learned for sure that attitude scores a 9 every time!! The other 10% is just that, 10%. Here's to you!
