That could be true for anything; some people are terrified of dogs. ^^' We have real bug/spider photos in the collection already, not to mention all the spider pets.
People generally aren't afraid of the way dogs look as opposed to spiders. I don't collect the cs bugs/insects as it is, but I can tolerate them because they're more cartoon-like. However, my friend and I really don't like looking at spiders and I'm sure I could speak for her and others if I said we'd be very uncomfortable by seeing spiders up close.
If it were pictures of cs spiders, that'd be OK, but real spiders... no thank you.

The 'I speak' little flag stamps, maybe you could do one that is 'I speak Gaelic' ? I don't think anyone would really know what it is but it's Irish, and yeah.. you can turn it down or whatever I was just suggesting it because it's the only language I happen to know, and they don't have it.
Anyways, cheers.
I agree with this one! I'd adore celtic ones for the Celtic countries which would be Cornish, Manx Gaelic. Irish Gaelic, Scottish Gaelic, Welsh and Breton! :3 that would mean a lot.

I don't think that's really a good reason to just not make spider stamps, though. I am sorry if you and your friend don't want to see them, but we have to consider the CS community as a whole, and from what I've seen, many people want stamps for spiders, bugs, bats, and other animals that can be creepy to other people. I don't see how it's right to discriminate against an entire family of animals on the basis that some people might not like them. Then how would the people who love, love, love those animals feel, or for that matter, the animals themselves (if they could understand?) ^^' Animals are animals, and if we can include one kind, we should be including them all. But anyway, seeing as we already have spider and bug photo stamps and they don't seem to be causing a huge problem with most people here, I don't feel it's something worth arguing.
To make another, little suggestion, how about an "I love randomness!" stamp? Among the people I've talked to on CS, that seems to be a common characteristic. XD It would be pretty funny to see in a stamp collection.

Would it be reasonable to come to a compromise, such as the majority of the spider stamps being CS pets or other cartoonish and generally unrealistic photos, or even just spiderweb stamps? Obviously not ones like my avatar (that will be changed soon), though it would be cool if there were.
Or possibly an option to hide specific stamps automatically?
also because it is 6:34AM and I have not slept yet, a stamp that says "who needs sleep when you have chicken smoothie?"

Aha, yes!!
I honestly forgot about those ones, because I was just thinking about the 'I speak Gaelic' flag, and whatever, but yes -- why not consider those also?
Yes, it would mean a lot, I agree. I am very fond of my heritage, and it would be great for other people with the same Celtic/Scottish/Irish etc, things, I feel it woulc be really cool ^_^
