No chance of you defending the Admins decision on this then. Would you say your opinion of other users clouds your judgement sometimes?
The fact is that a certain user objected to an avatar in ignorance. This user admitted their ignorance. This user admitted that they would not have gone to the admins had he/she not been ignorant of the symbolism of said avatar*.
*this last one if based on my own assumption. It is not clear that this user wouldn't have alerted the picture but he/she did say, (paraphrasing)"if I had gone to the admins knowing the pictures were of kunte kinte that would have been ignorant."

By your rational, as long as i have a good enough fictional reason, i could change my avatar to a swastika.....and then, if anyone takes offence, i can spend a few hours explaining my reasons...each and evey time.
This is the logic of a moron.
Originally posted by cashthetrashGee, I kinda objected when your clan mate CIV called me a "n*gger lover".
So far I haven't ever seen you be objectionable to anything racist. Why is that?
I object to real racist content, I don't use fake outrage at non-racist material to further a personal vendetta and an agenda.

Originally posted by no1marauderAlright. Is Eflame making policy? Is this all about your care that expression not be curtailed on this site? I don't believe in censorship either, unless it's illegal in content, obviously, or perhaps a site's policy prohibits it.
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.
Another question for you - with respect to the Lowest Common Denominator: Is NOTHING offensive? What is offensive to you? I'm really trying to understand your cold view, without writing it off as Conservative Right. Everything should be the same everywhere? I'm seriously asking.
The Send Feedback is there and it is completely up to the person using it for whatever reason they choose. Emotional or logical, it's there and she can use it.

Originally posted by huckleberryhoundPoor girl? Has far as I can see it, she can defend herself much better than you ever could.
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.
It's up to her to decide if it's harassment or not. Did she alert any posts?

You know as well as I do that Red needs a crusade and the one against the BWA has been going for ages. He's like a little irritating dog that just won't let go of your pant leg.
Most of this thread seems like a Red Night patented Zealot Targeting Of A Specific Thread To Keep The Crusade Going. Hell, they're even gang-reccing each other...
It's been said before - I'm a paying member of this community and I will chip in wherever I want. Rather shut it if all you have are weak insults implying bias - that one is getting REALLY old REALLY fast.

Originally posted by no1marauderYou are well within your rights, to ask me that. Much the same as I am within my rights, not to answer that. Thanks 🙂
It's a follow up question to your prior post in which you said:
It would have been ignorant of me, if I knew it was a fictional character, if I knew it was Kunte Kinte, and I still 'ran' to the Admin, to request its removal.
You conceded that if you had known who Kunte Kinte was it would have been "ignorant" to reque ...[text shortened]... you know. So I was asking if you were going to take steps to attempt to rectify your error.
