Well honestly, only slightly, I mean, it's still relevant to the topic is it not? I saw said topic, people posting pictures of "cute spiders" to prove you wrong aswell as people posting the creepiest around to prove em right. The only picture I might find anywhere near "griefing" is the "do you remember whene you trew your shoe at me and I fell behind the bed" thing.

You don't think someone with arachnophobia could be intrested in discussing it?
How exactly are pictures of spiders relevant to the discussion? I'm pretty sure most people know what spiders look like.

even the German Wikipedia page about Arachnophobia has a picture of a spider in it (sitting on someone's hand as a depictation of the confrontation therapy (which works))

O c'mon now, think about it, you don't think you'll see a spider if you watch a show about arachnophobia? They are the subject at hand, people will find examples to prove their points or to get discussions started.

And people don't post spider pictures in those threads just to mess with others?

hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia: you know what that is? Fear of long long words.

Well.. if we ban everything because someone didnt like, we'd be living in a very boring world....

get a life and suck it up like everyone else...

You have nothing to fear but fear itself!


Had to.

It's one the most common Phobia's so I do think it's a big deal.

Confrontation is the best way to solve fear :P

Not trying to be rude but pictures make you that paranoid and fearful? Then what does a real life spider cause you to do?

I have Kottickphobia therefor I vow that posting pictures of Bobby Kottick is a bannable offense QQ.

What does a picture of spiderman cause you to do then?

IMHO there's no need to ban pictures of phobias if the thread is clear enough in it being about it or it being a picture thread, if I'm even more honest, don't be such a wimp, next thing you're going to tell me the picture threads aren't allowed to have spider pictures in it because some people are afraid of it and there's a chance you'll stumble upon one.

Before I forget, I'll remember this thread and I will use it as an argument whenever I come across an arachnophobe saying ''it's just pixels''.
