My problem is still that:

This user never messaged and asked "why" the avatar was used.

A lot could have been learned.

From there could say why it offended them.

From there, a better decision could have been made.

This image is practically the image you would find on the paper-back, DVD, or VHS Tape of this movie.

P-

I wasn't at a Book store or a Video store, when I saw this image. I was at home, playing Chess, looking in the forums, in between Chess moves.

Thanks 🙂

Yesterday a certain user had a stereotypical cartoon character of a Scottish Drunkard Brawler. It offended me.

They took down the Scottish Drunkard Brawler and put Sean Connery up instead.

See what a little dialog can do? No need to involve the admins in any way and no drama.

P-

so he replaced one Scottish drunken brawler with another? I don't get it!?😕

My point being, why not ask them WHY they use it?

I understand you 2 are beyond talking about the subject, you made your mind up.

Ha ha! I have that book and people always notice the large Swastika on the spine and shoot me a funny look. I always respond "What? A man can't have a cause anymore?"

People do often look at it askance.

Great book though.

I would certainly make the time to talk to the other party. How do you know I have made my mind up? Who told you, that I have made my mind up? Can you read my mind? Hello, my mind is my own!

As far as communicating, with the other party, he knows what I wrote to him in a PM, I know what I wrote to him in a PM, and it stays between us. If he so inclined to share with you what I said, its purely his decision.

Thanks 🙂

I have no way to read any PM dialog between you and sushi.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you said the image offended you.

Remember, I read EVERY post of yours as you requested yesterday.

I'm also glad you've started to respond to me rather than bump heads with (surprise!) TSM clan's NO ONE ENEMY.

So.... did you not make a decision that the avatar was offensive and sushi was being racist? That seems to be the gist of all the banter over the past 2 days with this subject.

Keep in mind, I did not read every post of sushi.

Okay

Yes I did

Okay

How you feel about the TSM Clan is of no concern to me. I happen to be in the TSM Club.

I made a decision the avatar was offensive

I did not say that Sushill was being racist. Apparently, you've not read all my posts.

Why should I keep in mind, that you did not read every post of Sushill's?

Would this photo of a black man in jail be offensive, too? http://photos.state.gov/galleries/usinfo-photo/39/civil_rights_07/009-CivilRights.jpg


>Avatar : Black man in chains. It is racist in nature and offensive. And you see nothing wrong with it?
---------------------------------------

Sushi is left feeling you think he's being racist, can you blame him?

Did you ever ask why it was being used?

I don't care if you don't know why being affiliated with TSM or me not reading every post by sushi might be important to me.

My point is you made a snap decision and never asked the user why they used it.

You'd didn't say Sushill was being a racist, my ass:

Eflame37: every time I see a post by this person[Sushill], who had this avatar, and I have to remember that the pic, is telling me, that he should be chained, because of his race and because he is inferior. Okay, I get it now.

Racism = Black man in chains (check)

Racism = Black man in chains because of his Race (check)

Racism = Black man in chains because of his Race because he's inferior (check)

from page 2 of the "inappropriate" thread.

Perhaps you would like to tell Sushill, I did not say he was a racist. Hopefully, that can ease his mind. I hope you do realise though, whether or not his frame of mind accepts what I have just repeated, (that I did not say he was a racist), it is up to him.

Did I ever ask why it was being used? You asking that question, in which you had already said before, you have proven you have not read my posts.

If you don't care, then why say it? What is of importance to you, is no concern of mine. Please understand that.

You have made your point, and what I am saying here, is that I acknowledge, that you have pointed it out to me.

I thank you for reminding me once again.

Thanks 🙂

No1maurauder : How about you cut and paste what I actually said, word for word, then make this post again. I AM GIVING YOU THIS ONE CHANCE. If you do not, then I'm sorry, you don't get to ask me anything.

Thanks 🙂
