The image wasn't pulled because it was offensive. Have you read this thread so far?

Well, actually I READ every word of this thread...the term "inoffensive" can have a much broader meaning than the narrow one you have chosen to apply.

Quote -> Quote - and it's so nice to see the moderators/coordinators joking around so much...I'm sure that makes Primaltruck feel all the better. shrug...quelle surprise

It's not the job of the moderators and coordinators to make people feel better. This is not a kindergarden, and primaltruck did not skin his knee. I believe that some attempt was made to help primaltruck see things in a little more rational manner, which is a testament to the kind-heartedness of the mods. And if you think the mods here don't have kind hearts, you haven't visited enough Internet forums.

Sorry, but it IS the job of the moderators/coordinators to handle a matter such as this in a serious manner...several of them have stated repeatedly in this thread (as well as in the past threads) that...{assumes serious voice} these situations are discussed as a team, fairly & seriously (dare I say "professionally"?), behind the scenes and a consensus "vote" is taken. {ends serious voice} Yet the public demeanor & remarks of some of these same people in this thread reflects nothing but joking around and a total lack of seriousness. If I were Primaltruck, it would make me wonder if that's the way matters such as these are actually handled behind the scenes...lots of jokes, wisecracks and mockery (like the kindergarden you mentioned, perhaps?)...despite their claims to the contrary...

To my sensibility, NOT very professional behavior and not how the representatives of this site should be behaving...

but this is nothing new...in fact, NONE of this is new...the situation, the behavior, comments like yours...

...people either have their eyes open or their eyes closed...
