How am I supposed to get your permission to link to an image on your site if you've killfiled me?

Anyway, I had a local copy of the image so I've uploaded it here:

http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/8219/skeldergate.jpg

I had thought about not posting the new link in this thread, but I decided that would be stooping to your level (i.e. deliberately sabotaging an interesting discussion just to spite someone). The fact that you were so willing to break your original link really does speak volumes about the attitude of some of the URC "regulars" towards anyone who disagrees with them. You wouldn't have deleted the image if it had been linked to by someone who agreed with you, would you?

And what is the problem with linking to an image from a URC thread when you've already linked to it from another URC thread? There's no problem, you just saw an opportunity to censor someone you disagreed with, and you went for it. If you'd thought about it before you did it you would have realised it wasn't a very smart move.

Admit it: you ballsed up and you shouldn't have deleted the picture. At this point being honest about that is the least embarrassing thing you can do. You've just made yourself and URC look bad, and needlessly scuppered (if only temporarily) a couple of interesting discussions which weren't contentious in any way (unless you say a discussion's "contentious" whenever someone who disagrees with you posts in it).

Now, are you going to put the photo back on your site and stop inconveniencing everyone with this pointless nonsense?
