First of all, I never asked that the cartoon of the girl needed to be covered up, or gone altogether... jokingly, and in good faith I asked to make it smaller (as much as anything it made the loading of the pages 187 responded to VERY slow with my dial-up connection, and I didn't want the site to run into overuse of bandwidth due to loading suck a large gif over and over).
Taking a shot at my wife was low... I asked you to use a smaller version, and I was nice enough to meet you halfway and provide that smaller version for you...
Your signature was editted because you felt like playing the victim... not because my ol lady had anything to say, she didn't come to your house and hold you at gunpoint, making you change it... but seeing what kind of art you like , that may have been a thrill for you, had she done so...
Scattergunner,
I don't see what the big deal is if a member mentions he has a website... they don't need to point it out to me.
You see up top here, there are some icons which are in all of my posts...
One of them is a little house... this, if you click it will take you to my "homepage"... where I do sell a product (not an ad, so don't attack my integrity now either).
I have known all along that this is what these icons are for... and have visited many of you guys sites.
And after the hype over the Loudmouth, I don't see what is so wrong about a guy promoting his product a little, as long as those he compeats against don't complain.
I know I welcome, and assist other call makers as much as I can, to promote and sell their products even though it might interfere with a sale.
What right do you have to "run a guy out on a rail" for attempting to get a little business interest going... perhaps WR can't yet afford an ad on this site (just like I cannot) and after business picks up he intends to (again, just as I intend to)?
As for cartoon characters made sexy, I don't feel that these should be exempt from the rules here... Jessica Rabbit's racy look and nature earned Roger Rabbit (the cartoon) one of the first PG ratings for a Disney cartoon (if I remember correctly).
The rules here basically state that any materials deemed objectionable, by any member here, would not be tolerated...
If our wives were to join would this, which they find objectionable, still be acceptable?
187, clean her up, make her full page... post a whole topic devoted to her and the artist... I truly don't give a rat's ***...
But don't turn this around on me, bringing my integrity into question... or make me/my ol lady out to be the bad guy... the posting of the girl as obviously raised eyebrows in not just my home!
Next time I have an issue with the rules I'll approach the problem from the other end... I will not ask you politely, but will just write the moderators/admins and tell them directly of my feelings...
I won't be like the cool neighbor, who comes over and asks nicely you hold down the noise of your party... I'll just go to "the cops"!!!
Jeff
