Its not therapy, its understanding you customers. If you want to refer me to Rae1, fair enough. He's thoughtful and articulate, unlike many in this thread, I just don't agree with him entirely.
You're obviously taking a more commercial/consumer approach to this subject than I will. We must part there, because, as from the start, I am interested in more human issues.
I don't have anything against Stalin. He didn't do anything to me.
That might almost be considered an inflammatory comment.
It also sounds like a very self centered statement. But it seem a lot of jerks are like that.
Alright guys. Different opinions are allowed. Now kiss and make up.
If I may interject an opinion here, after having read the entire thread here, my understanding is the that the original poster is objecting to an image that he finds offensive and disturbing; that he would like to see banned from this site. My question is who is to say what is offensive or disturbing? What I may find disturbing, you, the reader, may think what of it---or even not notice! How do define the line between what is allowable and forbidden? Societal convention? Then, who's society and culture do you use?
We are all human beings here. We all have our own unique biases. We mustn't forget that.

If you don't find the torture, and murder of 25 or so million people disturbing, there's something missing in your head.
What happened to Lorena and Rosie?
Ah. Well too late. I now have them making out in my head.
Thank yooooooou.

minus the "hoping people like me" horseshit, this almost sounds like something i'd say.
Alright, time to call the po-lice...

All your avatar (Petrov, Landau, Krylenko, Przepiorka) are belong to us.
Vladimir Petrov 1907/1945 died in Stalin concentration camp

Got to admit this thread really cheered me up, great to see so many chess players out there with a wicked sense of humour.
It's a picture. Ignore it.
Wow that was easy!!
It's odd that someone would use that pic but that person has a right to use it moral bs aside...
So unless it's a pic of him doing the deed, there's nothing to do.
I'm sure there are plenty of other things you'll want to get offended over anyway. It's the internet...
Tell that to the dead,AnthonyCG

Where, in my previous post in this thread, do I express an opinion, either demonizing or praising Stalin? I was just trying to point out that every human being has a different perspective and values on life. My question can be more simply said as, "Who, and what is, one person to tell another person what to think or do is right or wrong, good or evil?"
"Dude trysts"???? Are you drunk? I have nothing against being drunk, of course. O.K., perhaps envious. But you kinda' sound drunk
good job! (guys can't hold their liquor)
