I Changed my Avatar

QueenDanceALot · ‎04-18-2013

I was informed by QVC that someone objected to the gun that appeared in my former avatar. I thought the meaning of the Avatar was quite clear and appropriate for a message board - "Don't Shoot the Messenger", and the messenger was a cute orange kitty!

I certainly did not mean to offend anyone here with my avatar and am a bit dismayed that someone felt the need to go to the Powers that Be about it.

Well, I changed it because I was asked (very nicely by the QVC Social people) but kind of wish whoever had a problem with it asked me about it first.

Looks great, I wish I could do that.

Thank you for the update. The new one is better than a gun, in any case.

Serious.

@QueenDanceALot Sheesh. Just another example of how the tail wags the dog. Some people just don't have enough to keep them busy, I guess.

@QueenDanceALot That is nuts! I swear, some people on these boards are so overly sensitive. I do not even notice a persons avatar 99% of the time. These posters must just live their lives looking to make issues about them day in and day out. Complaining about everything. Makes them feel important. How could a gun and a kitten make you feel worried or scared? PLEASE.

It wasn't just a gun.

It was a kitty being held up, a really cute kitty! "Don't Shoot the Messenger" is universally understood, isn't it? It wasn't any kind of social commentary or anything.
