Also linked from the previous email is a link to this topic: Handicapped avatars.
The topic wasn't put together very well, and some folks found it in poor taste, however it brought up some very good points. My personal favorite is this:
Even with Conrad_Max's incredibly insensitive and inappropriate comment, the poster made a great point. Moderation staff's reply? Locked topic, no explanation.

This is idea is in bad tastes as we do have people who use Home and are physically handicapped in real life. Do you think that they need to be reminded of this when they log onto Home or see avatars wheeling themselves around in a virtual wheelchair?Who's to say they don't? Some may prefer an avatar that reflects who they really are and I see no bad taste here what so ever.
