Vid, I love 90% of your posts and you have been very helpful to the community, myself included. But that deserves an automatic ban.

Quoted from vdojaq:Wait a minute......his post was of poor taste with JPop super imposed, cut-n-pasted, whatever, on a lynching. To call him a racist and a ban from pinside, that is ridiculous.
Jeez, take a deep breath and get over it.
Do you have to use such an extreme image though? Could you not get the point across with a stick figure? You need to use a photo of two black teens that are ACTUALLY DEAD surrounded by 60 white guys looking all too pleased?! And then he says even the north would sell this indicating that yes, he realizes it's a racist post.
Quoted from TxJay:Are you offended because the picture was of a black man being hanged or because it was a picture of a person being hanged? Why would you need to point out it was an African American? Isn't just a picture a someone being hanged enough?
Any actual photo of a person murdered is bad enough for a ban, one that was a hate crime is even worse. How does a photo like that help better that pinball community?
Quoted from vdojaq:You had better learn what racist actually means before you toss that around.
It was very poor judgement . Does NOT make him racist. I am defending the person , not his post. Post was tasteless attempt at dark humor, it backfired.
I actually never called him a racist, I said his racist post. But I sure as hell was thinking it.
Quoted from wolftownjeff:Where is Robin?
This has gone on way to long.
I agree. I'm done in this one. I quit using Pinside for socialising awhile ago because of ignorant close minded people and only used it for resources. I broke that rule today. Have fun boys. Enjoy the cross burning.
