    I can also use ABP so I dont think its worthy of complaining about. Freedom of expression and all that I think you should go with what you feel comfortable with.
    your kids are going to see a lot worse.............

    just an avatar - isn't? Have I missed something?

    Edit - yes I just missed 5 mins of my life reading this.

    I can see how some may see in bad taste in say a biker down thread. But let's keep it in perspective. Its just an avitar. There is a wholelot more offensive shit on kb like katmans post for example.

    Fuck it, the Avatar stays.

    If people don't like it, block the image through your browser. I like it. Here's some of the cartoon.

    I can see why some people might be bothered by what the picture is depicting. My reaction is that it is not one that I would choose for myself and I have seen it once and after that I don't look at it again cause I know what it looks like. I think some peoples' avatars are worse. I don't come here to look at avatars.

    And yeah it does look like Geezer Butler....

    It's only an cartoon avatar, so why the angst?
    If your avatar was a jpg of a freshly-binned and badly injured rider, it would probably be a bit offensive.
    Wouldn't worry if I was you.

    A stark reminder that I am sure the gear police would love...
    If you love it, let it go. If it comes back to you, you've just high-sided!
