I find that your statements to the effect that Jon is immature for suggesting
it means you feel he is NOT within his rights.

You're not getting the point. We want a change in TOS. We realize they do
belong, we want that to change. Afterall, if something is Lego related but
violates another rule, such as nudity, they can be banned.

Maybe you need to make it clear for us, then.

If your reasons for disliking the thing are due to it being hurtful or
disruptive, sure it is. There are plenty of other valid reasons, too.

Um, I have never ignored the fact that they are Lego-related. We wouldn' be
asking for a ban if they weren't Lego related, we'd be asking for better
policing. Since you don't seem to realize this, it shows me you aren't reading
our posts.

No. I am comparing aspects of the two.

So? I am not talking about those aspects of the Civil Rights movement, only
the fact that the most basic reason for the movement was a dislike of
something.
> How does that compare to you having to hit 'Next'??? I can not honestly

Again, I am NOT comparing the two. I am invalidating your statement that
dislike is no reason to call for a ban.

Actually, you'd only be calling for removal of such things because you dislike
them/the idea of kids viewing them. ;)

But one could ignore his posts. In addition, not everyone felt MM's posts were
totally innapropriate, I'm sure. And I feel avatar images are innapropriate.

I will, but that isn't the topic of this thread. In fact, I plan to speak to
Kevin about it privately. However, non-lego images are *not* flooding
Brickshelf.

But some Lego images HAVE been banned. do you think they shouldn't be?
