    Terror was used freely by all of those parties in order to accomplish their ideological objectives. It's not any less terrible because someone signed off on it instead of going out and shooting the people themselves. There's definitely an argument to be made about how that's actually considerably worse.

    Honestly many leaders have done things far worse than any terrorist and yes Stalin is included on that list. So are past American leaders at that. They aren't all to the same degree but that is beside the point. Well have fun with your argument guys. My reasons for the deletion have been stated so I'm out.

    EDIT: I changed Kali's name.

    This whole thing seems idiotic to me. While being distasteful, the use of Breivik's picture as an avatar is the right of the user. The argument that we allow other mass murderers to be used is a fairly solid one, and really makes no difference in the content posted.

    Well I am making my contribute to this.

    All of the following points contributed (in my mind) to the decision of removing the picture

    Firstly, one million is a statistic 1 death is a tragedy. Its true, its human nature. You can't chance that.

    Secondly, one could argue, that there's a difference between the leader who gives the order and the one that executes it. Meaning: if there was a member who's granddaddy was in Auschwitz he might protests if somebody has picture of Josef Mengele. But wouldn't mind if somebody has a picture of Hitler. Again, just human nature.

    Thirdly, time is the key. Or more rather:did you live at the time. And do you have a connection there.

    Fourthly, this is to @Karakoran you said that you wouldn't mind the picture of a guy, that was shooting near you. Well that's a different thing. Than guys picture, who happened to be responsible of killings somebody's friend.

    BTW I wouldn't mind the picture, because:its ninja buffalo and he trolls. Thus shouldn't be taken seriously

    And it would have the "nice" effect that he loses tons of respect (does he have respect?) and credibility

    I never had any respect to begin with, nor credibility.

    Also, I don't always troll.

    Stalin gave Kali his user title as he is the only one who can give non donators user titles. Link was temp banned, if he's still banned it shouldn't be long. I don't feel like checking when it ends.

    Well Kali is not a communist, so I think it would be fair to change that

    That's kind of the point of the joke? Either way Stalin found it amusing so it's not being changed more than likely as he's the only one who can change it.

    So wait, the whole point of you wanting to become a tribune was not to change the site for the better or represent the user base but to just have a user title?
