I know people are'nt intentionally guilt tripping people about it but, still I get that vibe a bit... I know how hard it is to see people happy when you are very low, believe me, been there before! But that is your own issue, not the posters of happy or kissing pics! People have to be sensitive of others, but correspondingly they shouldnt have to walk on egg shells in case they hurt someones feelings!
I really don't think that, for the most part it is about being unable to stand people being happy! I think it is just plain inappropriate to have pictures like that in sigs. No one would bat an eyelid at a picture of someone looking happy or being with someone in a sig. But it's just when it's full-on kissing / licking and such and people can't avoid it. I don't think it's be particularly nice (or appreciated!) on any website, but particularly not one where a lot of members are young and / or vulnerable.
Personally I don't care very much. I don't think kissing pictures should be banned from the thread but it would be courteous for people to put them in a hide box especially if there are lots. But I don't think it's realy fair to have them in sigs.
