A gun is an inanimate object that doesn't signify or advocate illegal activity. I hoped my 'cross' example would get that across.
That cross example would have made sense if you compared it with the swastika. In that sense, you should be tolerant towards swastika's either.
I'd like to know how that makes any sense to you.
But why do you think is the purpose (and the statement of the person who use it as his/her avatar) of a (hand)gun? Target practices? :roll:
By the same rationale, someone could have a picture of a dog as their avatar, and someone else could be offended because they once got bit by a dog.
Speel, if this is just a windup, or you're suffering from the worst case of boredom ever, please find something better to do. AO staff have to draw certain lines because this website's audience happens to include younger people. It would be nice if certain AO users didn't just try to "push the boundaries" for the sake of it then cry censorship, but sadly we have people here that like to do that sort of thing. We try to make sure our actions to counter the problem restrict as little as possible.
Is anything important or interesting lost as a result of the new addition to the posting guidelines? I don't think so.
