Many thanks to those people who state that I'm not an unreasonable man.
Okay... I'm not here to censor the boards. Yes, one person was particularly offended by the avatar... the picture was of a vagina being pulled apart. I am aware that this is an adult themed site, so I did POLITELY ASK Dom to change his avatar. It was not an imperative.
As it happens, I saved the avatar. However, as luck would have it, my computer crashed yesterday and had to do a system restore. For some reason, in the process the picture (along with several others) had been lost. However, if Dom has a copy of this avatar, he may send this to me and I will reactivate it.
Like I say, I ASKED him and temporarily exchanged it for an alternative avatar. Should he have politley declined, the result would have been the same anyway... I would have heard him out and changed his avatar back anyway. Instead, I received a PM (similar to the comments in the original post) telling me that I've been here for 2 months, etc. and I'm telling people what to do. To be honest, I'm not going to get into an argument about something that could have been easily resolved with good manners.
It seems that the attitude can quite often be, "I don't like it, so I'll start a witch hunt!" Good manners often goes a little further people...
