Peter ask LT to have your own custom Avatar and these kinds of posts won't happen again....FatFreddy said:The reason I chose the Fred Flintstone avatar is simply because folks have referred to me as either "Fred" or "Flintstone" for about 17 years (the nick originated shortly after I completed basic training). As the years and the waistline have increased, some folks have added "Fat" to the nick. Coming from friends, I do not take it as a slight, and I am not so full of myself that I cannot laugh at my own quirks and foibles.
I hope the guy changes his avator as a courtesy
Funny,... where I come from, words like 'please' and 'thank-you' are used when one wishes to make a courteous request.
Perhaps, with a name of Peter, you might explain why that avatar is so important to you that you risk offending a stranger to stake your claim to a cartoon character?
Not that your unfriendly behavior makes you unique on this board, but the next time you perceive that someone may be peeing in your cornflakes, you might try taking a few steps backwards to widen your perspective. Speaking from personal experience: I've found backing-up at the appropriate time greatly reduces the risk of inserting my foot betwixt my chompers.
Fat Freddy I don't think that Peter had any bad intentions here and he was first to have this avatar...
No hard emotional feelings please!
