I must be blind then. 😕
Didn't Chris admit he never knew who the avatar was?
Personally, I think it was a rushed decision with not much thought used.
Originally posted by Red Night1. Is an obvious lie. You have to allow someone to join a Club when you are the Admin. There's no way she could be in your club without you knowing and she has been in it since early April.
I don't know why I am getting back into this train wreck, but I feel compelled to address a couple of issues.
1. I didn't know elame was in the club until after this all started. I actually sent her a PM inviting her to join and she responded that she was already in the club.
2. There is a three post BWA thread on page 1 of the TSM forum that star ...[text shortened]... presumptively racist avatar was removed, no member of TSM started celebratory threads.
Originally posted by no1marauderWell, think of it this way. Things could have been pretty hectic, he probably had a million and one messages....I would have been just another RHP user, wanting to join a Club, and all it could have been, was just click and accept, and then move on to whatever else was happening. Simple as that really.

Originally posted by cashthetrashYes, he can Cash. I saw it, when he made his first post, after I posted mine. But, I also saw, that he was objective. The way I see it, is that, in an overall context, what I'd done by sending feedback without talking to the person who had the avatar, was the wrong thing to do, or...he could have seen where I was entitled to voice my own opinion. I could be totally wrong by saying this that its not what he thought.
Palyanka can be a reasonable man at times, if the moon is just right. He is more moderate than some.

I don't accept that it was "of a racist nature".
And I'm the biggest anti-racism person I know.
Originally posted by PalynkaMaybe there is a good reason he couldn't be bothered. We see you came in and couldn't be bothered either. The fact remains it was offensive in nature. It makes no difference who it was.
Did you read his post? He said he removed it but couldn't be bothered to read the discussion.
Originally posted by Red Night2. Is irrelevant.

3. Is a typical dodge. Pretending you don't know what's in your Club Forum is beyond belief.
4. That was largely because of Raven's response to an off-hand comment on mine.
5. Yes, you have long engaged in a vituperative, personal vendetta against BWA and its members filled with baseless charges of racism. This latest incident is just a continuation of a long history of harassment.
6. I was a member of BWA for a time. I've also been a member of the Freethinkers, Bad Bishops and a number of other clans. None of my avatars were offensive to any reasonable person; they all were trying to make points for discussion. For a person so blind as to think that pictures of Nazi camp victims are "anti-Semitic" to try to make judgments of this sort is absurd.
As I stated before, I have been part of these discussions on Forum Moderation since long before this poster even joined this site. The idea that I don't support "free speech" (meaning less moderation than we have) is laughable drivel. Unlike RN, my positions here aren't dependent on clans (which I think are rather silly except as a conduit for games).
7. You've barged in with accusations of racism several times. Your standard MO.
8. Can't add anything to Pal's remark.
9. So what? They've made dozens of posts supporting the poor decision and continuing to intimate that Sushill is a racist. More importantly, the standard now being supported by TSM and its members i.e. if something is offensive to the hypersensitive it must go (at least if it has anything to do with BWA) is detrimental to the forums and the site. That's my main point and no matter how many threads get closed, I intend to keep making it.
Originally posted by Elamef37Sure, he doesn't know who's in his Club and doesn't know what's posted in his Club's Forums either.

The guy's been caught in other outrageous lies; this is just another.

Originally posted by cashthetrashSo, the fact that it was a black heroic figure makes "no difference at all"? If I find a picture of MLK handcuffed, does the same "reasoning" apply?

EDIT: Is this "offensive"? http://www.tparents.org/library/unification/publications/1620/mlkjail1.jpg

Offensive?
