Re: This shouldn't be an issue
BUt in the current posts, as they are right now, combine the sig with the avatar and you can immediately see why it was taken the way it was.
When the sig says "I do not trust Firefox. Spread anything besides that horrid piece of crap." and the avatar states to "Spread the world's most popular browser", one can see just how easy it is to link the two. |

said by Steve :Why do this? He likes one browser, you like another: why make it a religious war? ...neither the posting tag nor avatar you were responding to are preserved over time, so if either one of them changes eventually, your flame will be seen as devoid of any context whatsoever. I thought he was responding (admittedly off-topic) to the sig, which is permanent (unless it's edited later to remove the context).
Besides, with some it *is* a religious war as far as Microsoft is concerned.
Of course the irony here is that Jeremy speaks of Sunbelt: "They're just being greedy, and attempting to cash in on this publicity." Many would agree that Microsoft is in this same category of corparate behavior. Hey, all they're trying to do (Sunbelt) is make a few bucks.
Said elsewhere, accurately, "Pot. Kettle. Black." |

So I guess we are being censored on our opinions now too. I see that DSLR is getting to be a place where you can only say what other people think you should. |

And you also evince a certain lack of awareness for "context": neither the posting tag nor avatar you were responding to are preserved over time, so if either one of them changes eventually, your flame will be seen as devoid of any context whatsoever.
