Well, I guess I'll be the first sick sumbish to ask..... link?

Yes I killed the picture.

It is up to the OP to move the picture to photobucket or some other type of hosting site (using only a hyperlink (not posting the original picture here)). I did not feel it right to go ahead and post a link myself for HIS picture.

Sorry for the trouble, but I felt it best for the community as a whole. He is more than welcome to post a link to the picture and warn people of the nature of it, but I shall leave that up to the OP to decide that fate.

I posted a link. I didn't consider peoples stomach when posting the actual pic.

What in the hell did he expect to see????? A pretty painted picture of a ****ing swan swimming in pond??? Come the hell on.


Even if he did post the pic in a link instead of uploading it he still would have clicked on it and been whining about it.


From the forum rules:

Rule 1, Pictures and video's: If it cant be shown on daytime TV, its not allowed here.

Sorry but that pic and much worse are on daytime TV all the time.And it does not break the rules because GPF is still allowing it to be posted in a link.



Just because someone got offended by the very well described post that they clicked on gives the right for some one to take it down?


Ok then i'm going to be a dumbass and say Streetracing videos and stories offend me because someone I knew got killed by streetracing. Therefore let's do away with all street racing related video's,Stories and forum sections.


I think his picture should be put back up. It does not break the forum rules.

Let's see, how do I put this.

1st. I never said it could not be posted. I just said a picture with this kind of content should be directed to a link and NOT have the actual picture posted here. I guess you missed that part?

2nd. Last time I checked this was a site for Grand Prixs cars, not WebMD or otherwise. NOT everyone that comes to this site is an adult, and YES "someone" might be offended by it. Just because you think only adults look at this site, doesn't mean that possibly some have children that might be looking over their shoulder and see that stuff.

3rd. I NEVER said that this type of thing could not be allowed. I simply stated that pictures of that nature should be directed to a link instead of having the actual photo listed. If you want gore? Then go to to site and specializes in gore.

4th. Your secanrio of the "I hate street racing" is a stretch. But then in that same line of thought, you have the option to click or NOT to click on that link. I was only giving people that SAME option. They could click on a link provided by him to show the foot or to not to click on the link.

Sorry if making sense is "retarded" to you.

i say wow..............

Im going to step in on this one here before it hits the stratosphere.

1. GeddyLee did what I was going to do anyway but got tied up at work and completely forgot to do. So had he not taken it down then I would have or had requested it be provided via a web link instead.

2. I agree with Geddy's assessment that this is a Grand Prix site not WebMD. Now, would that photo be interesting to some? Sure! Would it be grousome to some? Absolutely, perhaps to the point of offense. And each of you know DANG well that you can fore warn people until the cows come home but curiosity is going to get a few of them anyway no matter how many layers of distance you put on it but the goal is to at least provide a little bit of cushion before viewing so as to give anyone that curious no excuse to complain. I know that I did not like having to see that looking at it from work. I would even less like it had I been at home and my wife seen it who can be squeamish at times.

3. There are concepts known as The Letter of the Law and The Spirit of the Law.

The rule:
Rule 1, Pictures and video's: If it cant be shown on daytime TV, its not allowed here.

can be probably taken literally and word for word. But ask yourself, do you really believe that that is how we wanted it read or does common sense say that perhaps were were trying to keep things family (and stomach I might add) friendly.

The spirit of that rule is to keep things friendly. If it is necessary for us to spell out each and every conceivable event in a rule, ask yourself how much fun are you going to have here? Do we need to set up registration where each and every person has to sign some form of agreement that they understand the rules both in letter and spirit?

I would certainly hope that everyone here is mature enough to understand that if we (Admins and Mods) take an action here the intent is not to curtail your fun, ruin your day, personally attack you, stick a hot cattle prod in your eye, etc.

Ive seen examples of people egging on inflamed situations as well, and I have abstained from saying or doing anything because I didnt not want to come across as a disciplinarian and too restrictive, but Im now questioning the wisdom in that decision.

Ive tried to remain hands off in most cases depending, rather, on the forum and its members to police itself. I assure you that if you think things are restrictive now, you have not seen the half of it if I were clamp down. I have resisted that in the hopes the forum would be more relaxed, and enjoyable for all. I certainly hope this does not turn out to be an example a bad choice on my part.

I find it personally insulting that a moderator of this forum would have to endure the out lash that has been dealt here. You may not agree with it, you may not like it but it certainly could have been handled better, for instance a PM could have been sent to myself or GeddyLee directly.

We arent out to ruin your day folks, we are simply trying to keep things running as smoothly as we can and keep things as appealing to as wide of a base of members as we can as well. I am sorry that there is the sentiment there is over this action but more so Im a little suprised by it.

I agree, probably better to just let all this go. Though I was not directing my comment to any one person, I probably could have chosen a different wording to make that more clear. I was trying to generalize.

wow i seriously almost gagged ha

that about turned my stomic.
