Thats because I never heard of it! |
I've never heard about it either, but if it's illegal, I suppose that this particular signature should be removed just because of the drug reference, right?

Or, doing away with signatures altogether. Do they actually serve any purpose? I find they are extremely irritating, no matter what the subject.

The admin is discussing this issue ...

So de we have to tiptoe around everyone in case it might hurt their feelings or be against their beliefs?

I believe this should be stopped, lately some newbies are trying to cause problems.
I'm sure that if any member made a signature asking for people to tuirn to some religion or cult or even saying Jesus Loves You, there will be a lot of people asking for that sig to be deleted with reason, because this is not a place for religious propaganda.
Please delete this signature and tell the kid to stop asking for troubles.
This is worst IMO.

i really couldn't care less. if that is how he/she wants to display such a symbol as part of a wider belief system then so be it.

I believe that avatar and signature are very personal places for everybody to express themselves. Each to his own. So why should we bother? Let's just pay no heed to them.

I think that all religious or political statements in signatures should be removed - no big discussion about whether or not the particular signature is offensive or not.

Well, it doesn't bother me that much. Though I was a little confused at first I must admit. Maybe I'm not as religious as you Ivan. But if you find it offensive then I believe it certainly should be removed.
