A upside down american flag is strongly disrespectfull. Anyone with any military background should be offended by this. Political Statement or not you shouldnt use this. I respect your right to freedom of speech, press, and religion but out of RESPECT TO YOUR COUNTRY I ask that you please change your avatar wes213."

Wow, as If I don't feel a little dorky chatting about XBOXes at times. I do what needs to be done for the sake of my XBOX. This takes the cake.
Dude, does it really matter? What is Wes' avatar your room wallpaper? Just get in and get out when you're looking for answers in the HQ. My parents always taught me to mind my own business and respect that of others. Does my Angry Monkey or Angelina She Devil piss you off too? Live with it. Dropping the flag is disrespectful, not sending a distress signal. _________________

Naw I can't agree with the above post.
First of all thepita23 has been a member for a long time.
And just like some don't find the above mentioned avatar distressing in the least, there are some that do. thepita23 stated his opinion, and he can do that just as much as Wes can fly the avatar.
Agree or disagree but your post is kinda harsh.
There must be some censorship (specfically nudity) for puritan reasons since lots of kids hit these forums and I'd say avatars with foul language too. I don't know that flying a flag upside down is going against common decency but I bet you'd all vote to turn mine off if I had an avatar of me nude! Hell, I'd vote that off myself! _________________ http://twitter.com/HQ_Shark2th

With all due respect, and I am saying, "With all due respect" When did the HQ get so sensitive? When I first started on here everyone seemed very friendly and helpful, and now you guys are defending each other for the sake of an avatar. Sorry if my last post hurt your feelings. I was being honest and to the point. Sorry for being straight forward also. Longtime member or not, everyone has their own given mouth, hands, eyes and brian to do with it as they please. Nobody has the right to tell another that what they did is not right. Hes not murdering anyone, he's expressing himself visually.
If you have a problem with something, go to the source. Don't try to rally troops to gang up on Wes. There is absolutely no need for any of this unless there is a union against Avatars. _________________

I find it funny that this is even a topic but i have removed my first avatar for the nude girl and did so with little bitching so now that i fly this flag to show my hate for censorship if it gose i go with it.
The main power that is Hobbs wold need to tell me i can no longer use this avatar so if pita feels that strong about it he can talk to Hobbs.
