This was completely unnecessary. This whole section of your post was completely unnecessary, IMO. (I was hoping it wouldn't be necessary to write to you publicly but I was compelled to do so because of the ugly nature of these statements.)
To state the obvious: This is a TRT forum - a place where we can discuss our concerns and get and give advice. It's a place where people try to encourage each other and make each other stronger - in body and mind. In my view, these statements did just the opposite; they weakened people reading it. They disappointed people. And I think they weakened your mind to write them. Our minds were made for grander things than this.
We all have the right to express our opinions but we also have to take responsibility for them and think about the effect they have on people hearing them. There are black people on this forum. There are Muslim people on this forum. There might be a few Communists on this forum too. There are people on this forum who voted for Obama. You offended them all with what you wrote. No one has the right to do this - whatever his history or background. And in my view, you betrayed the purpose of this forum.
One of the rules of this forum stated by the Administrators is this:
Please DO NOT have avatars that are religiously, politically, sexually, etc. offensive in ANYWAY to ANYBODY.
I think this should be extended to all posts, as well.
