Hey, we're having this argument again... sweet I'm so pumped!!! Hmmm, thinking to myself now... how to turn this into a postitive? I know!

Hey malakas, first of all welcome to the site. Sorry that you're getting a bit of a rude welcome here. But since you're new on the site you probably don't realize that the topic of blanking out the background on your pics has been long debated here and on all the sites where guys post pics of big bass. I'm pretty familiar with the issue since I was one of the first people to do it online.

My experience with this issue has been that when you post a pic with little or no info, it makes people feel like you are insulting them. Whether that is your intention or not, that's how it makes some people feel. Since you can't change how other people feel about things, sometimes it's better to change your approach.

I'm thinking what might be a good option for you would be to get a photo gallery in the members gallery to put your pics in. This way you can have a chance to show off your bass a little bit and if people feel insulted by it, they can just not go to your gallery. If you need help with that, check out the help page, it's not hard at all :)

Some will still feel upset about it but if you post your pics to a gallery, we can help avoid these type of debates on the forum and hopefully keep people who would otherwise probably get along great from fighting amongst themselves. I really don't mean to discourage you from posting, I'm just offering a friendly suggestion to help keep the peace.
