It is taken as a joke and those involved are in on the laugh. To compare it to threads about "this is my collection" etc is crazy.

People are passionate about their collection of guns etc and therefore the posts are serious. The problem is, not everybody is as passionate about these things and maybe some are even offended.

The OP made a pithy comment about people being frightened by a picture of a gun...that is not the case. People aren't frightened by them, they are just concerned by them and the safety of the owners, their families and those around them.

I'm not bothered and concerned about a picture of a sheep in JJ's kitchen and I'm pretty sure a chunk of the membership aren't.

How do I have the audacity to say I know that?

The thread is still there! If enough people were upset about it and complained to the admin, I'm sure measures would be taken.

That's the sum of it all really, just like real life. If something offends, contact those in charge.

If you lived next door to somebody giving you grief, you'd talk to the authorities.

If you went to a restaurant and the people at the table next to you were swearing, smoking or whatever, you'd talk to the manager.

As I said before, it's simple really.

Well said

Damn, looks like I ain't moving to Florida anytime soon. Guess I will take my crab snacks down to the local YMCA and go all Village People on them.

Man, 13 pages of gobblygook... yawn.

There's your problem. If you went with the sheep costume you'd have been golden.

Art would you mind backing up what you just stated with a link?

Yeah, I did and I also explained the historical significance of the FS as a symbol, not a weapon.

You're preaching to the choir, chief. I know all about that fine blade.

That is one heck of an achievement, too.
