offensive avatar

D.Puffy is sporting this gem

Beyond tasteless IMO.

Seeing as its an account that has never posted in a strategy forum, I think we could all benefit from a little less of him.

Yes, because having a picture of Phil Spector makes you Mr. Model Citizen.

Get over yourself dude.

that was impressively fast, almost makes me think you've been anxiously waiting for someone to be offended.

he's entitled to his opinion just like you are , hating VT is not saying he agrees with what happen.

But, yeah, that's pretty tasteless.

WTF does that mean?

I made this post earlier,
I am pretty much never offended and I am an insensitive prick and I thought that avatar was way over the line. Also the free speech stuff is stupid as it is a privately owned forum. I feel this should be stickied as this comes up in every ATF thread.

Im a little confused.

What are you offended by?

Im assuming the guy in question hates VT for soemthing related to college sports or maybe he didnt get accepted or something like that.

Whilst a little distasteful, i just dont see how anyone can be genuinely offended by an avatar that says "I still hate VT".

If it said "VT had it coming" or "Lol @ VT" then sure, but this is tame and you are being oversensitive.

Also, im pretty sure to 2+2 whether he does or doesnt post in strat forums means nothing.

I'm pretty sure by "little" you actually mean "enormously" or "grotesquely". While I don't think the poster should be banned because of his poor taste, I think his avatar should be blocked or forced to be changed as a general goodwill gesture towards those who were actually affected by the tragedy on this forum, and yes, they do exist (no, I'm not one of them, Norway ffs)..

Edit: And changed it has. Nevermind

And xxThe_Lebowskixx's
