Apologize

Hi all,
it happened to me to read MBF's post about a way not to show someone else's avatar...
I think...no, this time i'm pretty sure that lately i went far beyond the line of humorism and mutual respect for others' sensibilities.
I'm sorry guys. It all started as a joke some months ago with CanoeRebel in one of my AAR pages...and, like many other times in my life, i simply let the joke go too much longer...till i started to feel a little bit too much confortable here...as if this is my place and not everybody's place.
Went way beyond...and not just with my avatars.
My speeches about girls...my pics...
Ok, i agree. I understood my mistake and won't do it again.
Believe me that there wasn't any "bad will" in it...was just an attempt of a "laugh togheder"...but it's clear - as it should be - that we don't have all the same feelings and the same sensibility...and it was a demonstration of ignorance and ineducate behavior on my part not to understand it.
Hope you can excuse me.
Thanks
GJ

Hey, GJ, I don't think the "hairy armpits" lady is any reason to apologize. There's nothing inappropriate about that. If people don't like hairy armpits, well, my goodness, they don't need to go and get offended about it.
Some of our other jokes from time to time have gotten a bit out of hand, considering that there are (very nice) ladies around, but all of this has been done in good humor and by good guys being "guys" and getting a bit out of hand, as guys are wont to do on occasion.
As for what started this all, I don't want to leave people with the impression that I started something. I think it all began with an innocent comment about a classy and beautiful actress (Madelaine Stowe?) from Pakistan. You said you preferred women with more hair. It became a very humorous and perfectly fine thread. Some people like hairy armpits. Some don't. Big deal.

Why are you apologizing? Your avatar was hilarious. My girlfriend thought it was funny.

Well guys, i too thought it was a funny joke. But some people found it disturbing and didn't enjoy the "humorism" behind it...and considering that it doesn't cost me anything to change it, i did it and apologized if i, in some unwanted ways, offended anyone (not only with my avatar).
That's all.

Hairy armpits no reason to apologize. But I do really prefer to see something else! [:D]

I dont believe it was your avatar that caused the problem. (It was all CR's fault anyway[:'(])
It was more the picture of the very flexible young lady that was posted after your comment about your perfect assistant.
Then the 10 year olds couldnt help themselves.

Actually as I peruse the recent posts, I find David Hasselhoffs recent debut here far more offensive.[8D]

demonstration of ignorance
For an example of this please refer to my AAR GJ.
