HA-HA!! A CHALLENGE FOR ALL!!

Howdy!

  Here's the thing peoples: I need some ascii art for a bbs. The bbs name is
"1313 Iconoclast way" or "1313 Iconoclast Station". The bbs doesn't have a
logo or a mascot or anything, so it  is up to the artist to decide what
they want to draw. My only request is to draw something you can relate to
"iconoclast." For anybody wondering, an iconoclast is like a glorified,
rebellious idealist. They do what they beleive no matter what the cost. 
  I hope this poses a challenge to the bored masses of ascii-artists out
there. Thanks for anything in advance.

hi again,
  According to the world book dictionary:

iconoclast 1. a person who attacks cherised beliefs or institutions which
he/she thinks are wrong or foolish. 2 a person opposed to worshipping
images or who breaks or destroys them. 

The encyclopedia part of my world book says:

iconoclast, has come to mean a person who attacks long-established beliefs. 

Though those in the Byzantine sect you wrote of described themselves as
iconoclasts, the word has, over time, come to mean an idealist and a
rebel. Someone who opposes beliefs he/she thinks are wrong no matter what
the personnal cost. Examples: Bronte's Jane Eyre, Joan of Arc, Bill
clinton (ok, maybe not bill...) Anyway, this kind of
stand-up-in-what-you-beleive-in attitude was what I meant my board to
represent. I'm sorry if you disagree. 

Brad 

p.s. That byzantine sect wasn't heretic; they completely supported the
church. They opposed the worship and veneration of pictures though. This
is why they wanted them destroyed: they thought they took away from the
purity of the church. Calling them egotisical is not all that truthful.

Howdy howdy!

According to my encyclopedy; an iconoclast was a member of an heretic sect,
during the Byzantine empire (VIII- century), whose purpose was to forbid and 
distroy holly pictures.
Today an iconoclast is someone who doesn't care for traditions. Kinda rude
egotist I'd say. What's glorifying in this I don't know.
