Bbach1 Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 Is mine offending anyone? I thought the dog drinking from the bowl was funny, because that is exactly what they do, but someone mentioned that is was bad.

ani Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 CW, I think that the offensive avatar that was being discussed in another thread was about the actual USER NAME Hound Dog and not about your little toilet water lapping pooch. Hound Dog has an avatar that was not mentioned until the eruption of the Bill Cosby thread surrounding racial issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bbach1 Posted June 19, 2004 Author Share Posted June 19, 2004 Well that's good to know. By the way, it is a clean bowl. Just been flushed. bbach Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ani Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 When I first read the comments about Hound Dog's avatar, your little pooch was the only dog that was on the thread at the time and I thought the same thing as you did until I actually saw Hound Dog retaliate with his comments about the Cosby thread.

doug osborne Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 The doggy doesn't offend me...I was just eating lunch at the time. Hound Dog's AV offends me...and makes me laugh. It's wrong on sooo many levels. Doug Osborne Music on Bandcamp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antimatter Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 I think 99% of the people on this forum would change their avatars if it offended somebody. That's a good Golden Rule kinda thing. cwfno, thanks for asking. Yours falls under the 'slightly crude but funny, and not offensive' variety.

Hound Dog Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 You folks should ressurect the "cosby" thread and read it because in between the ridiculous attacks on my avatar there was some very relevant discussion. Yum, Yum! Eat em up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ani Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 I didn't read much of the Cosby thread, as I'm not at all a racist. My opinion about racism is... The best way to defeat racism, is to ignore racial slurs and remarks. If however, racism results in physical violence; one should take measures to remedy the situation in as much of a non-violent way as possible.

Hound Dog Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 I agree. I am not a violent person. And I do not consider my self a racist. Yum, Yum! Eat em up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nawledge Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 I think the fact that no one has actualy asked HoundDog to remove his avatar speaks volumes about the integrity of the forum, much more so than Hounddog speaks for himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ani Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 Perhaps it is because I do not seek things to stir up issues over races, Hound Dog, but I do not see the offense in your avatar. I have seen many avatars on these forums that are similar in ways where no one has mention them. This is not to get a racial debate going in this thread; I just don't see where the avatar is anything other than a black man that is acting a bit goofy and jumped on the wagon of body piercing and implants. For all I know, the horns might be affixed with clamps, material behind the ears, or adhesive. I don't SEEK for a racial debate, so therefore, I don't research ammunition to fire back with.

Hound Dog Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 I think you are right about the integrity part, Naw. Most people realize that by trying to dictate someone else's avatar, they expose themselves to the same thing. Yum, Yum! Eat em up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nawledge Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 I do seek a racial debate and have no problem with it. I neither fear people of different races or dialogue about racial issues. the thread where this came up was one I started about a famous black man who I felt made a comment that was partially inappropriate so I don't care what color you are. I don't think you and hounddog have that much in common, if you go over his post where this started and since you'll see that he does lots and lots of research, which you say you don't. so he knows that the uncle george character is not about mimicking the artform of body piercings. he also knows what blackface and minstreling is all about as well as caractures of black folk at the time and their origins.
