Matt, you know well I have nothing against you. I have always respected you and accepted your decisions, even when sometimes those were taken against me. I don't blame you for placing me in the Jailhouse. If you think is the right thing to do I respect that.
Now, woudn't it be fair and right to include in the Rules that graphic expression of religious and/or political images is not permitted? Anyone violating the rule then may "pay" the price.
You say you sent me a nice, polite request to remove the picture that I have chosen to represent my beliefs. May I have your permission to copy and paste the exchange we had regarding the issue? I want to follow the rules and if you say NO, I will understand and comply.
I strongly believe there is more to this than the pic. As a proof is the fact that posters that have boycoted the CEXI board because of my presence there are back. And they will not stop until the control of the board gets back in thir hands.
The pic was just an excuse to attack me, since they cannot attack the messages or their content in a civil and respectful manner. Like "if you can't silence the message, silence the messenger".
I know that nothing I say will change your mind. So I guess we are both stubborn. You are conditioning my release on an unfair and definitely personal request. I am convinced that even if I give in to your demand and compromise my freedom of expressing my beliefs within the rules of the site, and remove the pic, the problem will not go away. My presence and opinions on the board are hurting personal feelings of some members, and they will stop at nothing to make things difficult. As a proof I will mention that I was banned from RB based on reports that I was using multiple aliases. When I requested an investigation to prove the inaccuracy of the reports, my account was reinstated, proving that the reports were false, ill willed and had a wicked purpose behind them.
I am sorry if I aggravated you. And sorry if I aggravated Dave as well. Never thought that asking a simple, straightforward question would cost me a warning that my posting priviledges would be suspended.
It is you and only you who will decide how long I am going to be in here. Your conditional demand is unfair. You will either give in to the pressure of a group of people who have a long history of trying their best to silence any dissent, or to the right thing to do. I still believe in Justice.
