Now that I recall, I once had a fellow vote 3/10 on one of my "jumping" profile pics. His rationale was that he was crippled, and my picture was demeaning to him. At that time, my profile did not disclose that I was also crippled; that event caused me to change my wording.

Since this has became a beer topic, about these, fitting with this website:
Lone Peak IPA,
Black Mountain Bitter,
Amnesia by Turtle Mountain Brewery,
First Ascent by Forbidden Peak Brewery and
Black Bear Ale by Smokey Mountain Brewery

I haven't had any of these but the names fit

All right!

I like the lighter-colored beers from microbreweries... the ones that taste like wheat, berries, anything but hops. I know this is sacrilege; but I just don't like beers that taste like fermented lawn clippings.

1. I do not care about pictures of llamas or moths but how about Mothra chicks? There is a surf guitar group song that warns us away from them.

2. Do not get emotionally involved with the contests or ratings. Yea, I know, but really. Give it your best shots and they will come. The only one I have that "won" anything was a p.o.t.hour that had NO votes. (And yet my Matterhorn (Oregon) from the west got few votes, you cretins.) The ineffable all is indeed inscrutable.

3. Warning: I intend to start posting again as I now have a digital slr that fits my old lenses, a functioning scanner and a new avid desire to flood the site with inane pictures, including but not limited to, flowers, bugs, butterflies, pretty chunks of large rockpiles and big holes in the ground, fungi, and my rare and pitiful summits.

4. I vote 10 or 0 cause that seems to be the only rational way to do it, and it seems to be what most people do. There are at least three different kinds of tens (10's. ): "Scenic" (macro to wide angle), "route/beta", and "preserve the moment". I cannot compete with the first category's heavy hitters, but so what? Humor is another category I guess.

5. Humor: Need more. (EG, "grizzly bear droppings contain bells and pieces of goretex coated fiber and reek of capstun...")

6. Lace up the boots. Don the pack. Shut up. Hike/climb. POST SOMETHING. Don't worry about the contests.

7. Send me original thoughts (I want just 1 before I die) and contributions to the Haller Retirement Fund.

Don

Agreed, profile images can be off-topic.

It's worth noting, however, that there are many examples of copyright infringement in profile pics, even among prominent members, without action being taken. This puts the owners of the site, and the elves, at legal risk.

I'd ask if you were making this up, but you're probably not.

You need some mandatory sensitivity training, sir.

It's funny, I went back and checked, and the vote is gone... as is the member.

Here is something I will never understand, why do people state "dont vote on this"? What difference does it make if you're planning on deleting it anyway? If you dont want me voting 3/10 on your temporary or test pages then damnit dont threaten me with a dont vote on this!

I've expressed my opinions about votes on pics before...
