Is that really an appropriate comment after a photo of an execution?

Sorry, Mike, if you don't like my comment.
I guess I'm not a big fan of snuff photos.

".... Sorry, Mike, if you don't like my comment.

I don't think Gnomey is a "big fan of snuff photos" either Greg.
The reality is that such photos exist .. and they document real events ... not simply the actions of psychopaths.

IMO, each of the Mods has their own style of monitoring proceedings ... Gnomey uses that phrase as a signature that he is observing .... I am sure he didn't reflect on the photo posted ....
Greg only had to dislike the photo and everyone would understand .... if it wasn't my post I would have have used 'informative' to indicate that I had reservations or mixed feelings.

One of my CGI works which showed a set of harness of Japanese airman on a doll which had no head/hands/legs had ever been deleted without notice. I simply understood that their sensitivity was different in the US.

I don't have a problem with the photograph itself, which merely documents an execution. It was the juxtaposition of Gnomey's comment, which may not have been intended to appear immediately following that particular image, which appeared to me crass and insensitive.
