Official Official Statement.

Well I also wanted to abuse my power, but I stand for social justice and the stuff you said.

Oh Mr Tran, never change

I can see the reason in this, despite how much I disagree. So I'll just leave it at that.

However....

This is absolutely fucking retarded.

For those who lost friends to that maniac, I'm sorry.

For those who support Stalin:

Looks like he was right.

Everyone wants to abuse a little power.

First, there is a major difference between a psychotic terrorist and a dictator. Second, this is like posting a picture of Osama Bin Laden a year after 9/11 (ignore the obvious fact we didn't have the forums in 2002). For Norwegians, it was a major terrorist incident, it is all over the news and fresh in their minds, and we have a few Norwegians on the forums. It would be more acceptable if it had been posted in like a year, once the trial is over and people have had a chance to calm down. It shouldn't have been posted, and the mods were right to take it down. It was offensive and unnecessary.

My two cents,

I have family that was killed in concentration camps by Hitler because they were Catholic.

Do you see me overreacting?

No. Do you know why? You didn't personally know those family members. Even if they hadn't been killed, you probably still wouldn't know them as they probably still wouldn't be alive today. Also, it happened 60 fucking years ago. It was a horrible thing, but it slowly becomes less and less offending to people overtime. That's like saying to someone who just lost their parents yesterday, "Well you're overreacting because my mom died 15 years ago do you see me crying about it?"

So does that mean anything different? They were very young family members at that time about 10-15 years old.

Also I lost my best friend two years ago due to him drowning out of the carelessness of his football coach. I don't hate his coach.

Again do you see me overreacting?

That coach also didn't kill him on purpose. This guy killed innocent people during a terrorist act. Your comparison here doesn't make sense.

I mean if someone were to use his picture as their avatar, I wouldn't perform a PineappleJoe.

Yes, it bloody well does. If you had personally known these family members before they died, you would hate Hitler and would be very offended by a Hitler avatar. But you didn't know them. It happened 60 years ago. They might as well be complete strangers.

So I assume his football coach blew him and other children up right? Seriously, what relevance does that have to the discussion. You would hate the coach if he had directly and consciously murdered your friend.

Why the hell would someone use your coach as their avatar? And read above.

I hate him.

Right, how do you even know it was Joe who PMed me? He's not the only person it could have been. Anyways yeah I'm sure you wouldn't, as General Mosh said he didn't blow him up. There is a big difference. I agree with what Mosh is saying 100%.

Who do you hate?

But you aren't offended by his use of an avatar? If you really hate somebody/something, then you will be offended by their use as an avatar. Also, was Hitler ever even used as an avatar?

Hitler, apparently.

Hitler and Himmler.

que?

Just ignore him.

He'll SEND GOD AFTER YOU!!!!!!
