Firefox, and probably other browsers, do have the ability to not play animated gifs, you know.

I hope this isn't too animated for you to read! ='D

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Perhaps if you didn't want to imply you desired all animated gifs off you should have worded your original statement differently. If I "hate" something, I generally want to avoid all instances of it.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Dude pandering to dial-up users is weak as hell. You can't experience shit on the internet these days with dial-up. They're not worth designing anything around.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Hang on, let me flex my altruism a bit and set up a charity for those who can't afford broadband internet connections. Gotta stop being so selfish!

How many people are even on dial-up? If they are, they should be totally disabling images if they really want to load the site at a reasonable speed. As Pang observed, even lite-set isn't really that dial-up friendly.

We should stop writing software that requires anything faster than a 400mhz processor and 128mb because that's all some people have, and we certainly wouldn't want to exclude anyone who refuses to adapt to a changing environment!

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Basically all that needs to be said is that Blah is going to make it so you can ignore specific users avatars. If you don't want to see one, you won't have to. There is nothing left to complain about.

If it were really about the content of someone's posts alone then why have avatars at all? Why have chains and theme weeks and anything else? I don't know, maybe because people enjoy them and it adds to their experience here, perhaps. Just like being able to be more creative with their avatar space does.

In addition, I maintain that you can already make pretty much the most annoying avatar possible within the current 30kb limit so that's not a reason to not increase the cap.

As far as our discussion last night goes, I didn't tell you you should drop out of law school. I said that for someone who's going to law school you were making some pretty dumb arguments. Forgive me if I held you to a higher standard since you're going to be arguing for a career someday. I suppose I shouldn't have let my expectations get the better of me like that.

Dude do you even have any idea how ridiculous you look right now? Take some deep breaths.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Would the GFF you're talking about (you know, the one with an emphasis on intelligent discussion and whatnot) exist if everyone adopted that lazy attitude and decided they couldn't be bothered to put in a bit of effort and create a more cohesive argument because lol internet?

How ya doing, buddy?
