It recently came to my attention that the picture of a tattoo peace symbol on my chest that I have been using as a signature logo at the end of all my posts is in violation of the guidelines regarding avatars.

To anyone who has been triggered by this picture, I would say I am sorry that you were triggered and such was not my intent.

To anyone who would hold it against me as being inappropriately immodest to post it, I would have to say that your feelings are probably based on cultural/religious views that I do not share and, though I am sensitive to the issue of avoiding unnecessarily triggering people with anything relating to sex or violence, I can honestly say I did not foresee anyone being triggered by said picture.

And, just to clarify, I am not in any way disputing the guidelines/policies of MS, just addressing any members who may have felt offended by the picture I was posting.

Peace,
Doug

Doug,

I appreciate your posting this response.

I have wanted to ask about it but, not in here.
