I'll try to cover the apparent disconnect, bro.KS: As I stated before it is against the TOS to have an avatar, logo or screen name that is offensive. The same as it is with posts. However just as with posts everything is subject to those interpreting it.
TBTB: Agreed. I said the same thing, or so I think:
****************************************************************
KS: Now you have created a public thread where you polled the membership. And despite seeing that both religious and non religious members don't necessarily interpret the name in question or Logo the same as you. You still view the Logo and username as violating TOS and that MFK is hypocritical.
TBTB: Yes (in short, see below for clarification). Is it wrong to have an opinion that doesn't agree with the majority? I am not shoving my opinion down anyone's throat. Imposition was not my intent. My purpose was to gain clarity. Everyone can stay with their views and on their own mole hill
KS: So your stand is that if one person interprets anything posted as offensive and MFK doesn't delete and punish the poster then MFK is not following it's own rules.
TBTB: We can't lump the handle case and the logo case together here. In case of the logo, yes. In case of the handle, no I don't think MFK is not following its own rules. I just think MFK rules are too lax. It's my opinion that no one has to listen to. I am grateful I know yours.
*************************************************************
KS: I'm sorry but I don't find that fair. Not just because to expect a whole community to be subject to the whims of any one person at anytime is incongruous but also because it's fallacious to think that any rule is without exception or subject to interpretation.
TBTB: I agree with the entire paragraph. I'm rather unsure why you might have come to the conclusion that I am arguing: (i) that the MFK be at my whim and (ii) that there is no room for interpretation of a rule, logo, avatar, handle, and wordage.
TBTB: (i) I am not petitioning MFK to do something about its logo. We are just talking and clarifying our positions. I expressed mine. You expressed yours. There is nothing official or judicial in my critique of the MFK logo. There is no ultimatum. No black mail. No cursing. No intrigue. No coup planned
It is but a personal take. We could be unhappy and grumpy about our difference or we can choose to be happy and grateful we have each other to talk to. Let's choose the latter. (ii) Have you not already convinced me and have I not agreed that the handle in question is within the MFK TOS? Furthermore, have I not even offered to change my handle if the MFK staff or community deems it as not following the MFK TOS? Both of these manifest most clearly that I bow to the power of interpretation. No? Why is this still a question?TBTB: But none of these abolish my right to have my own interpretation and opinion just like we all have our own. That is all it is. If you still see anything bad or at fault with me, by all means, let's continue talking it out. I welcome being helped.
