As long as Diogenes' lamp doesn't look like THAT one.

Man.. I totally dig your avatar.

1. You post a deliberately provocative icon.
2. People complain.
3. I politely request that you remove it.
4. You post another deliberately provocative icon.
5. People complain.
6. You blame me.
Am I understanding this logic chain correctly?

The difference between your understanding and mine is:
2. No one complained to -me-, I have to take your word that they complained to you.
3.5 I /did/ remove the original avatar.
4. I don't see any "provocation" as such in the current one. If creepiness is grounds for objection, then what are we doing celebrating Halloween?
5. Again, no one complained to -me-. I did read that some do not like it, but so what? Are we seriously supposed to find stuff everyone likes?
6. Without expecting to have that "blame" taken seriously. Shecky apparently saw the bit of humor I was trying for, and his post was the end of that discussion. I didn't think there was anything much to add beyond that, do you?

(FM) you are aware that this should be discussed in private, not in open, but if you want it in the open so others can comment...

Most people just complain to the mods, as that is anonymous, and complaining to the person who is disturbing/creeping out/etc you can get a bad reaction depending on things like the persons maturity level, and wither the offense is deliberate or not.
Anonymous is safer, and works just as well, if not better.

There are different levels of creepiness, and Halloween is not about anything majorly creepy/disturbing, most Halloween avatars/images do not disturb people on any deep level, while other things can.
