NoScript is another good Firefox add-on.
About the clown thing? Clowns are not worrisome for me. Could someone come up with a way to make one extra creepy? Definitely. Can I ignore it or find a way to avoid it? yes.

Also those old style china dolls and the like, where they have big life sized heads and dead empty eyes staring forward, those are wierd. They kinda creep me out too. All dolls should be, like, Barbie sized(not necessarily shaped mind you don't attack me!) in my opinion. I think the avatar in question isn't bad it's in keeping with the Halloween season and as was mentioned earlier even Toy Story had a creepier one.

I think Evil clowns are creepy. But they wear all that facepaint, so it's hard to tell the evil ones at first.

Exactly. Any of them could be evil clowns, and the only way to tell the difference is to get to know them, thereby opening yourself up to some freaky evil clown attack. Probably something involving knives, or big, pointy metal teeth. Why risk it? It's safest to assume they're all evil, and therefore creepy.

Pretty much the way I look at things. Whatever our avatars, someone somewhere will be creeped out by it. There are options to block avatars, those who have serious issues can do so should they so choose. It's like watching TV. Most reality tv "drama" fills me with rage and hate. (I frequently pray for cleansing nuclear fire to obliterate Bret Michaels and anyone, ever, who has appeared on Rock of Love. It's the only way to be sure that the evil dies.) Even the commercials make my teeth wiggle. Point being, there'll be commercials for things one finds icky, offensive or annoying. One can TIVO skip right past them, but if one wants to watch the commercials because they find the one with the scrubbing bubbles to be cute, then they pays their money and they takes their chances.
Because we have teenly and tweenly members and no age check, we have a PG-13 (Or is it 14?) policy, and we might step in on something borderline... but we're really not in the business of stomping out everything someone somewhere will find creepy, icky, ookey, or offensive.
