As to what arnie said, people get all worked up about racists and offensive comments on here all the time, what exactly are you talking about then??

Anyway, I don't think it's a huge issue, but the ladies who voiced their opinion against the avatar thingys do have a point. Is it not worth considering?
St. Luci, I think chevaliers de sion will come out to get you.
