He is well within his rights to ask for a ban on something he dislikes. Unlike
many calls-for-bans, however, he actually has valid points.

Well, because they are barely related, and certainly don't add anything to the
community; in Jon's opinion at least. Would a fully nude person wearing Lego
earrings or a lego hat be acceptable material for Brickshelf? It would be Lego
related, afterall.
> He simply wants them banned because *he* does not like them!
And he is well within his right to do so. Anyway, all he wants to know right
now is if anyone agrees with him. Afterall, isn't that how all petitions and
protests start? Are you saying they were all wrong?
> Is that mature?
Yes. He posted politely, looking for agreement, and he stated his opinions
honestly. If you feel this is immature, you need to get reacquainted with the
definition.

Is that really an option? Do you ask the person who gets 40 spam emails a day
to ignore them? What about twenty telemarketer phone calls a night? These are
hard to ignore because they are disruptive; as Jon apparently feels these
images are. Afterall, on any given check of the Recent page, over half of what
shows up seems to be these "avatars" or similar images.
