I created a thread entitled, “Save Our Troops”, where the image itself poked fun at the current American troops comparing them to nazis.
PM sent to me from Stoic Guardian:
Shit Thread deleted.
posting pictures with no context violates rule 7.
My response:
Don’t worry Stoic for I’ll recreate that thread later this evening with all the context anybody could want.

The only rule 7 that I can find says:
> [@](#):

> 1. Crap posting is not allowed. This is defined as excessively obnoxious use of text (huge fonts, large mixmash of font colors that are disorientating to readers.)
> Excessive amounts of space between sentences.

One picture is not an excessive amount.
Given SG’s fascist leanings, I am tempted to call this biased censorship.
I think that you have good reason to complain.

I’m pretty sure SG came out about his fascist flirations just shortly before he became a mod.
Perhaps he was chosen because he would enforce stuff like this against Joker, Bill W and other people he doesn’t happen to like.

It’s an amount in excess of any number below 1.

Thanks Phyllo.
I will be re posting that same thread later tonight with a bit more of a written description. We will see if, “Mein Fuhrer”, does anything this second time around.
