One of my moderator colleagues chose it to reflect a few comments which had been made regarding my moderation of the site. It was intended as a joke, i took it that way and left it there. No offence was intended and i apologise if you were indeed offended. Having said this - your comments are fair and go to show that not everyone who vists the site is in on our "little jokes". I will change it shortly, in order to avoid any further misunderstandings. Thanks Martin aka 4.9 EF Futura aka not an anti-semite!!!!!

Nice to know you guys care  I've got a fair idea who it was and I'll be speaking to him shortly Give him one for me & all of us @ Fordmods, That was a very stupid & cruel joke that was played, I'm still getting over Scott's death 18 months earlier....

good to hear your still alive and kicking jay....
I would be grabbing the prick who did it, smash his head in, strap him to a chair and send him on a nice train ride to perth with no clothes on so frank can have his way with him.

Exactly, absolutely no harm intended... we actually all had that avatar and some chose to keep and some removed it. Open up any history book, turn on The History Channel, Discovery Channel etc and you'll always find something on Hitler... I've watched stacks of these documentaries as they are interesting. Like it or not it's part of history and it can't be changed. |

Blackjack, as a moderator of the site - one of my roles is to enforce the rule regarding racial attacks. Therefore, its best for me to err on the conservative side of what's allowable and what's not.
You dont need to look too far for examples of "if i cant have such and such, why is the moderator allowed to have so and so". We've taken members to task over white supremist and nazi banter, so even as a joke, its not a good idea for me to have Hitler as my avatar. Your point is valid, and i wouldnt want FM to have a reputation as some sort of politically-correct thug. I think we've got a good balance. Sorry if this most recent decision doesnt sit well 
Just a tad off topic hey?? lol

Anyway, any sour thoughts, just think of that nice song they had. goes along the lines of..
"Hitler.... has only got one ball. hitler, has only got one ball" forget the rest of it
