Wow, I've seen it but hadn't read this thread yet. Had no idea it concerned me.
The avatar stays. My avatar is a reflection of who I am, just like everyone else's. Who I am will not be dictated to me because someone can't handle it. It would be pretty ridiculous to set a standard like that, because everything offends somebody. I have to wonder how anyone who would ask such a thing even functions in this world. And Saddam is an evil man and deserves whatever he gets. You are quite fortunate not to have had to learn that the hard way.
I appreciate the things everyone has said, and I appreciate any of you who are veterans most especially. I am as passionate about this stuff as most anybody, and believe me, part of me would love to get a good debate going on this stuff. However, I have learned it is hopeless. I haven't given up the fight and my beliefs will not waver, but I have decided that for the good of everyone here it is best not to go down this road - not here anyway. You all may do what you wish of course, but I appeal to all of you to consider doing the same. I just don't want to see this wonderful group of people get fractured in a pissing match that ultimately changes nothing for anybody politically but wrecks this VX community. That would be a sad day indeed. It just isn't worth it folks.
