Although I am not a strict religest man I have not found any signatures offensive and if I was would not be so thin skinned to let it bother me .just live and let live. At looking at the number of members voting shows me 29 out of the many on this is very insignificant .lets not make knee jerk decisions  my way of thinking is if you don’t like them don’t read them. Just my thought on this!!!

It's a slippery slope. Example: A person adds a religious decal to their R-Pod. If they post a photo of it, are they in violation of the forum rules? After all, it is about their R-Pod modifications. I could argue that, by removing religious references, you're favoring atheism, which is a recognized religion in the US.

Something is always going to offend somebody. I don't need to be protected from someone's views. In fact, knowing their views helps with the dialog in many cases. People have gotten too thin-skinned in this day and age.

I agree that hateful comments, whether they be religious in nature or not, should not be tolerated.

Furpod/David,

Also modded my sig block to not offend any non Chevy owners, non English Bulldog owners, or any single folks. Hoping I have become generic and non-offensive to everyone.

Let's not be too hasty! I'm thinking Chevy/GMC is most definitely OK/kosher/anointed.

Fords, on the other hand...........

I'm offended by your use of the word 'Kosher'. It has religious connotations.

Do you see how silly this is?

If I wished you all a Merry Christmas, would I be reprimanded? It is a religious holiday ya know..

I have not yet seen a 'Post' that is based or has full content against the rules of the group. And that includes the one I posted!

Next thing you may consider is should a person refer to themselves as: Mr?, Mrs? Ms? You know that's gender specific and could offend someone.

Sounding silly to anyone else yet? If not let me know! I have several more to come!!

I also don't like all the references to dogs.. I'm very saddened over the lost of ours and don't like being reminded.. (Couldn't resist one more. Ya, plenty more...)

Furpod,
