View Profile Apex-Predator has reported a post.
Reason:
I'd like my photo to stop being used as his avatar. I've already reported this before and nothing has been done. It was done without consent.
Post:
So yeah, the supreme court legalized gay marriage in the USA.

God must be pretty miffed about the whole thing, it's almost as if he had no say in the matter
Perhaps it is all part of His grand design.

View Profile Err, he has a valid concern. Why are you guys being so critical? Your self image is a very personal thing, I wouldn't want my face to show up whenever someone posted especially if that person posts things I disagree with. Would you care if someone used a picture of you as their avatar without permission?

View Profile Not really honestly
Why is that? I'm curious.
EDIT: Also I've gone ahead and removed the avatar. I think it's reasonable in this instance to remove it but only because it's a picture of one of our members and that member has enough of a problem with it to ask for it's removal. If it was literally anything else I don't think I'd agree. I talked to Apex and it seems like it came out of a joke about his photo, so I can definitely see why that would bother him.

View Profile Hm. I can't exactly put into words why I feel that way, it's probably just the difference in the environment we were raised. It just feels trivial to me, nothing to get up in arms about. I agree with your decision to remove it since he asked you to and it was affecting his on site experience to some extent, it's a valid complaint in that regard, I just think that he's being overly sensitive about the whole thing.

View Profile That makes sense. I guess for me it would depend on the context in which it happens. This seems to stem from a slightly mean joke at Apex's expense so I can see why he would be tired of it's been played out.

View Profile I think it's a valid complaint personally.
