Someone should tell this guy to stop badgering that poor girl. She took offence at a avatar of a black slave, and now she is being hounded by this moron.....this really should stop.
Originally posted by SunburntThank you for your understanding in this matter even if you did insult me. I can take it. I have too.
I don't see the problem here with taking her opinion seriously. Is your problem that she can't explain that certain images provoke pain, sadness and fear? Why does she have to logically explain an emotional reaction, clearly based on a lifetime of said pain, sadness and fear? So what if an image isn't intrinsically racist to you or anybody else?
Cens ...[text shortened]... the brain resulting from trauma that cannot be explained, period. Give her a break.

Elamef, you have no need to explain yourself to marauder or any other in this forum.
You did the right thing, and every sensible person that reads this thread knows it.
Be careful, even more, because some people might want to create enough fight in this thread to see it removed, in a way to put some ugly things behind the carpet.

This is a Forum, ya know. Why should a discussion stop because you don't like it? Alert the posts if you want, but I don't see anything "offensive" in what I've written. Other posters have resorted to name calling and abuse, but I've simply been discussing the matter in a calm, rational manner.
Originally posted by no1marauderThe emotions I felt, when I looked at it, made my guts churn.
We all have emotions. But we shouldn't let emotional reactions override our reason. Nor should the decisions as to what is allowed on this site be determined by the Lowest Common Denominator of what "offends" someone, somewhere for any reason whatsoever.
I don't accept that you should be able to demand/request someone else's expression be curtailed just because it makes you uncomfortable absent rational reasons.
My decision to request its removal, I couldn't have been more sane than I am now.
Once again, I sincerely apologise, that you struggle with what I say.

Did you forget to run your posts past the Red Night Thought Police again? You know only approved by Red and his zealots are allowed here!
No chance of you defending the Admins decision on this then. Would you say your opinion of other users clouds your judgement sometimes?
