Oh, brother, how I (as a moderator) can relate to your sentiment!
Wow!
I'm completely surprised (pleasantly) by the direction this thread has gone. If today's date were December the 25th, I'd say this was a nice Christmas present.
Hey, OMGdudeWhat, you're all right!
You're gracious to be such a sport (pun not intended) about the images. You clearly have a sense of humor.

Well, I should hope so, considering that it's not a real person.
OMGdudeWhat wrote:i didn't see the other(s?), maybe they were really offensive? doesn't really matter to me but id like to see them if they're that controversial to some.
There were only three images involved in this controversy: two showing you with the ugly artwork personage and the one of you with the big cheese sitting on your head.

anywaaaaaaaaaaay, yeah, move on from thisssssssss, i was hoping to get to read more interesting replies like i got from earl, seems like a cool guy.
Thank you very much for the compliment.
For what it's worth (probably not much), I posted several times on page 18 of this thread; but you've probably already read those. And I posted twice on the first page of Fat Man's topic entitled "I Propose A Compromise."
Well, what have I learned from this particular episode? Well, I'm glad that I managed to keep a tight reign on my temper and not respond by flaming or making snide comments. Ironically, board messaging is not always the best way to communicate long-distance. Since you're not hearing the other person's voice tone and you're not seeing his face and body posture, sometimes it's easy to misunderstand and get the wrong impression of him. Someone's post may make him to appear harsher than he actually is in real life. You don't get a complete picture of the poster whose comments you're reading. I learned months ago not to be compative online, especially in one's first post in a topic. Of course, that's just me. Since I've got self-improvement to do in my life, I guess I've become a bit mellow and don't have much of a desire to yell at people over the Internet anymore. (Wow, that's meandering for you ... )
Skul, I certainly don't think OMGdudeWhat is deserving of the
dreaded pink-letter treatment. He simply doesn't qualify for it. Of course, I think you know that already.
Good show.
I'm fat and sassy! I love to sing & dance & stomp my feet & really rock your world!
