I havent ever been in the true crime forum either.

although i dont care a lick one way or the other if any thread is deleted i have to say the argument above isnt making any sense.

I can handle a site about horror movies. Actors, actresses, film, special effects.

No, i cant handle 'crude raw truth' I cant even watch the fucking news.

I have a real problem trying to understand the connection between liking horror movies and liking pictures of real dead people.
Ditto

My thoughts exactly.
And I'm against censorship but those kind of pictures ain't what this site is about.If I wanted to see pictures like that [ and for the life of me ,I can't understand why anyone would ] there are plenty of places on the web for that.
If the mods let that go ,the next thread could have porn pics with a warning.

This is a movie site, I repeat...MOVIE site...not real.

I respect that which is why I put the big warning up on it. My intention was not to shove something in anybody's face.


I guess I forgot that

anyway, I just think it's kind of crappy that I don't even get an explanation or anything.

I feel that way too...I don't have anything against those pictures, but I don't seek them out, and I come here to discuss and see stylized representations, not the real thing. And it's not that people aren't exposed to the real thing...they are constantly exposed to the real thing, which is I think why escapist entertainment exists.

Well, the logical argument is, that if "nothing" was posted, then "nothing" was deleted, so what's everybody upset about?

If you claim for yourself the right to be offended that the thread was deleted (and I'm not saying you shouldn't, of course) then you shouldn't be surprised that someone found the thread offensive enough to delete it.

I recall I used to do some similar things way back when...things that I did because I knew they would upset and agitate people.

For a while I felt I was doing it to "show them the truth" so to speak, but after I did some soul searching, I realized that, since I already knew what the desired reaction was (that people would get upset), then the only real reason I was doing it was to upset people. After I came to realize this, I decided to stop doing it.

But I don't feel bad that I did it in the first place, because that was part of my learning process.

Regardless, it is true that "the line of taboo" is always nebulous; it is a mental construction that exists in our minds individually as well as societally; it has no definite shape from moment to moment. But it is there, to be both regarded and disregarded, and at the very least the question of whether we should discern it or pay it mind is a valid philosophical argument. It bears thought.

Anyway, I'd atleast like an explanation. There are no rules against it (that I can see, I can't find the rules) and I did put a big warning on it.
guess you'll have to wait for the person who removed the thread.

Or did some little bitch with a skinned knee whine about being offended even though they were WARNED from the very beginning that it was a greusome thread?

you guys cant possibly suck more ass. lemme guess, my account is going to mysteriously going to get shut down too huh? blame it on drugs, alcohol, or just the fact that you are a bitch, something. you bitch and yell about how dead the board it as times, this evening Ive seen more people than I have for a long time, no one was posting pics of someone rocking out with their cock out, no one was calling out anyone, none of that shit.

lame assed nazi fucks every damn one of you. and if you arent the one who did it and are offended, fuck you too. If you gave a shit you would do something about it, and dont say you cant, you guys are all a bunch of backstabbing fucks. Stay tuned for a NEW Pet Peeve thread, and you have no one else to blame but yourselves.
oh go on a protest rally or something. These rants are getting boring.
