Maybe to you, but does that mean it is valid in my eyes? Not saying it does
not, but does it mean it applies across the board? No.

Yes he does, as do you. I never said you do not have that right. Can you
show me where I did say that? Please...

Not that is is overwhelming, but it does belong.

And neither for me, sorry for the figure of speech.

Yes. Too bad you do not see it.

Yes. One can have valid reasons for not liking something, but that does not
translate into calling for it to be banned.

Thats not a valid reason. Sorry, it just is not.

Yes, one at a time, but that does not mean they can only use one.

Yes, that is a good thing about them.

You hear a broken record because it is true!! And you keep avoiding the
simple fact that these are lego-related images and they do belong!! Are you
readiung what *I* am posting?

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are actually comparing images of bionicle to the
civil rights movemnet?!?!? LOL!!! YES! Of course I am going to say this is a
bad example, The civil rights movemnet had to do with people being killed,
people being treated less than human!! How does that compare to you having
to hit 'Next'??? I can not honestly believe you went there, this is such a
bad example it is beyond words. Really, how does it compare???
And yes, I have asked for items to be removed, but when it was inapproite
for the forum. If people were posting nude images, or images from the faces
of death videos, then I would be the first to stand up and say get rid of
them, because children veiw this. Not because I do not like something.
And MM was different also, more along the lines than the Civil Rights
Movment reference was, but still - different from bionicle images. MM was
acting innapropriate for this forum. And my thoughts on him will be posted
in a different thread if you ask.
I said this elsewhere, but will re-post it.
If you are truly concerned about the mis-use of brickshelf, then go after
non-lego images. If you do go after non-lego items then I will fight with
you utill the end (you may not want me there, but still). But as long as yu
try to ban lego images I will be very vocal on how you are wrong (unless
Kevin agrees with you, but untill then I speak).
