Gold star... or German oven mitt?
Moderators, for the love of god -- this "joke" is a reference to burning Jews in an oven.
This calls for a little more gravity than "Please get back on topic."

I can only imagine your righteous indignation if I'd been personally responsible for the Holocaust.
Now, please, let's stick to the topic, yes?

I don't think AutoPilate intended this to be taken the way folks have. However, there are some issues that are justifiably touchy, and a joke, no matter how inoccously intended, is not appropriate.

However, there are some issues that are justifiably sensitive that jokes, no matter how innocuously intended, are not appropriate. Especially in a forum with people of all ages and ethnicities from all over the world. So let's please keep this back on topic.
Is this a reflection of the admin of this site?
A person can post an image directly linked to the holocaust AND include the words "German Oven Mit" and it is just blown over!!!???
I am really really shocked...
I mean... W:shock:W... I think this has REALLY stood to prove what allot of the people in this thread have been claiming as an issue...

I believe that was deemed off-topic, and your smear campaign succeeded. That should be enough.

OFF-Topic my ass...
If that is all you get for such a blatent disregard for a GLOBAL horror and a clear violation of the POSTED RULES of this forum then it CERTAINLY belongs in this thread...
Not to mention my PM to the Admin yesterday was ignored...

I completely agree. That has NO place in a family oriented forum, nor should it have a place anywhere else. And I'm a little miffed that it was thrown off as a joke and no other action besides locking was taken.
I strongly believe that the poster should be strongly punished for such actions.

What do you suggest I get, then? Perhaps I should be placed in an oven, would that appease you, your majesty?

Have to agree here. There are times when "Lock" should be passed over for "delete", and more should happen than laughing it off as a bad joke.

You are so tact and tasteful aren't you?
I think that you should be suspended or banned, because you obviously have no regret or second thoughts about it. I would settle for a sincere apology.
If that isn't too above you.

You expect an apology for this? It was moved and locked, be glad for that pandering to your weak sensibilities.

I dont find this funny, and normally...someone would get punished for a "joke" like that.
It's not only offensive, but totally childish

Im sure my Great Grandma who was murdered in the holocaust would appreciate your actions.
Your oven "jokes" are offensive. And i am furious that the only thing done was clicking the lock button

Clearly this poster has no respect for the forum... It's admins.. It's Mods... or it's members...
I am at a loss for words right now (and I appreciate others understanding... For a moment I thought I would have to go this one alone...)
PS - The new comment about you being in an oven just furthers your inability to judge appropriate from innapropriate...
