The world of the ask-permission-first icon ganker:
Icon ganker: May I use this icon? Two out of three times: Sure, be my guest. One out of three times: No, please, that's for my own personal use. Foiled a third of the time.
The world of the no-permission icon-ganker:
Icon ganker: *grabs icon, uses* Nineteen times out of twenty: *nothing happens* Twentieth time out of twenty: Icon owner: Hey, please don't take my icon. Icon ganker: Oh, I'm sorry. *stops using* Foiled a twentieth of the time.
Easier to get forgiveness than permission.
