C’mon folks, let’s move on shall we? Nothing new here.

I hope this tool is of use to some. It has the added benefit of speeding up downloads and reduces resizing/format issues.
Of good grief Simon. Why don’t YOU get over YOURSELF with this. I am NOT spewing hatred of any sort, and for you to blatantly attempt to make it seem like I am is ridiculous.
You know, I know, and CRAN knows (and more than probably knew this BEFORE he even used it) that his avatar might bring about offense. In lieu of that alone, Cran should not have used that avatar…there should have been some consideration to those that he KNEW would take offense, in the same way that HE demands it of every other person here and then has a hissy fit when we don’t comply to his wishes. Many of these same people would prefer not to have pictures of ANYONE kissing in such a way. That is their prerogative. Cran’s use of this avatar, ESPECIALLY on the heels of the lovely little controversy he spawned a few days ago, shows that he has absolutely NO regard for any other person on this board except for himself. Woe to ye hypocrites…
So keep your self righteous diatribes to yourself. This has nothing to do with homosexuality, heterosexuality, or sex in general. It has to do with consideration, of which Cran (yet again) has shown he has none of. I, for one, am tired of it, and I’m sure that I’m not alone in that.
I’ll let it go, but I’d like to be able to defend my comment first, since it’s been assumed I’m homophobic, which I’m certainly not. I have made lots of friends in my lifetime,and their sexual orientation has never been a factor.
Cran’s avatar is a problem for me for one reason only- I choose to try, and believe me it is very difficult in this day and time, to try to let my grandaughter be a child for as long as I can.This does not include an explanation of anything sexual at the age of four. Which means, that the avatar in question prohibts me from checking this site when she’s in the room.
So, my motives are purely selfish, this avatar means less time on this site. 
One last time please, let’s move on, OK?
I, personally, am totally offended that I didn’t even notice the avatar. I miss all the good stuff. Why didn’t any of you point this out earlier? It strikes me as being totally selfish that you wouldn’t point the avatar out at once so I could be appropriately offended in a timely manner. But, ooooooh no, you just had to hog it all to yourselves, didn’t you? 
You must remember this …

A kiss is just a kiss… 
I’m feeling the need to be offended, chris
I would like to be offended many times, please!
ok, j/k
seriously, if we wanna carry this one on, maybe we could take it to Jared’s place, eh?
No, unfortunately there isn’t. Same old calculating provocation from Cranberry to get a reaction so that he can play the injured party once again. I for one am fed up to the back teeth with his victim mentality.
Cranberry, either grow up or clear off. Your constant whining is one of the worst aspects of this site.
(Oh, and please don’t start going on about what a tough life you’ve had. I’d gladly exchange the childhood I had for yours.)
Tyler has a good suggestion, let’s (if we have to) continue this discussion at Jared’s House of Controversy.
Thanks.
