That is a cute accusation.

Really though, my statment was more of "rib" at censorship on this forum and the incongruity I pointed out. It was just another bale on the camel's back to have you state what "true enjoyment" is and what "good clean times" are (usually the first few things out of a censor's mouth). Additionally the forum is composed of a lot of members - the mantle of "we" is highly inappropriate - if you were one of the moderators it might have been appropriate if you had said; "we, the moderators of this forum".
Although I do not need to explain myself to anyone, I shall bless your life and others with this knowledge.
When a newcomer joins this site, the rules must be read and understood. When I saw the picture in question, I knew that somebody was eventually going to see it, and complain about it. I e-mailed Ziroc after I warned Worm about it. I asked Ziroc to look at the picture and determine if it is what he wants on his site. Obviously, Ziroc was not pleased with the picture. He did not delete Worm's account because of me. He did it because he is the owner of this site, and he can.
So, why do you still insult me?
What did I do, other than follow the rules?
There is no malicious censorship involved here.

Do not ignore these rules.............Terms of Service
Read them before you click 'yes'


Be Clean: Adhere to decency and refrain from abusive or hateful language, while cussing isn't censored, please don't direct the words towards someone in a hateful or demeaning way.


Be Nice: No posting of material that antagonizes, harasses or creates hostility toward another user or group of.
Maybe some women on this board could say that the pic was a form of sexual harassment.
Maybe there is a guy who is gay on this forum that would be offended that we would make fun of his life-style.

I don't know...there's a million excuses that one could come up with.

Ziroc does not want to deal with everybody's every little problem.
I am sure he has more important things to do.
Therefore, we need to help him by doing as he has indicated in his guidelines for operation of this site.
He will step in if he need to.
