Game number(s):

NA

Comments:jbrettlip is using a well known image that is completely offensive to practicing Muslims, of which I am one. I have PMed jbrettlip about removing his avatar, and his response was that he would. Of course, this was a lie, and he continues with his inflammatory image despite my warning him of my offense to the image. If you are not familiar with the image, then here is a link where there are offensive images to Muslims, of which I am only posting to educate the more ignorant among you. The link can be found in this story to confirm any such images as being offensive:

In no circumstances is bigotry allowed.

* Bigotry includes racism, aggressive homophobia, religion bashing or wishing violence on any minority group.
* Bigotry takes into account historic events, emotional baggage and generally accepted associations with a term, phrase or intent - posting "White Power" in a thread has a history and is bigamous, posting "Green Power" makes you an environmentalist.

I expect this avatar to be removed immediately. I am not calling out for a ban of jbrettlip, just a little respect for others beliefs and religion.

Is it not quite easy for you to ignore it? Or do you have a button for selective ignorance. It's quite simple, if you don't like the image then don't look at it. CC is a pretty big site. You could even foe him and move on with your day. Unless you prefer to sit there and look at the image, and then say it offends people. I also notice you carefully avoid the stating that it is YOU that are offended, and not a general population. If there is anyone else offended, i have yet to see them. As well, many people have many different beliefs, and the general rule is acceptance and forgiveness....i believe this is a concept taught by all religions, is it not.

as i said, Kotaro should be moaning about it fairly soon...

It's posted in the same thread that you gave the link too, so I don't agree that jbrettlip is doing something wrong, I just think you have nothing better to do

How do you know his avatar is a Muslim?

Posted: **Fri Jan 09, 2009 5:15 pm**

OK, DaGip, if you wanna play that way...

Your buddy owen keeps claiming he is the Black Jesus, it's certainly offensive to Christians. Should we ban your buddy too? Or no just because you like him?

I coulda sworn that this whole thing started as a "fight" between DaGip and Owen. I hardly think they are "buddies".

And I hope you are upset, as a Christian, that he is relating himself to Jesus... not that he is calling Jesus black.

Not sure how that would be offensive, since Jesus (if he existed) was almost certainly more black than white.

That said, I don't see why this needs to be such a big issue. You could just ignore the picture, or maybe even adblock it, so you wouldn't have to see it (don't know if that would work). I don't see why religion should be so cushioned.

WTF ARE WE ALL BLIND

It is so obvious the black jesus thing is just a come back with a bomb on a head, that we all knew would be retaliated ...but if everyone wants to complain and bring this great site further in a hole, fuckin go for it...play your games like you first joined for, f*ck the multi's, f*ck the cheaters, and quit your bitchin about a little ban, f*ck, you can't go without this site for a day?....gip put a bomb on an americans head see if he cares,

Posted: **Fri Jan 09, 2009 6:37 pm**

I was not asking for a ban...please reread the beginning post one more time.

But apparently the mods don't consider this an issue, so I will ask the mods to lock this thread and drop it...

Unforunately, South Dakota is in the U.S. which has an lip service law stating freedom of speech and expression.

i can not even express how wrong you are on this. it is so obvious you are clueless as to what is going on with brett's avatar. brett has had that avatar since the "offensive avatar" thread (viewtopic.php?f=6&t=59020&hilit=offensive+avatar) way back last august. that all started as my silent protest agaionst a mod ruling that a user using a "black face" avatar was not offensive. the silent protest was going joyously unnoticed (i was flying the image of the Selgado, Piss Christ, and very few realized it), until brett dropped that thread. why would i retaliate against my best friend of more than 20 years over an avatar that i find absolutely hilarious on many levels?! brett has had the avatar for MONTHS, it isn't a recent occurence. why would i retaliate against a founding member of the same clan i am? you sure do make a lot of assumptions about things you know absolutely nothing about... the black jesus has spoken...-0

Owen, I just lost a hell of a lot of respect for you. I used to like you, I really did. :roll:
