Glad to see that some people still have a sense of humor that hasn't been set to auto-offensensitive. :P

Happy April Fool's Day.

Glad to see you got your little passive-aggressive comment in. This has nothing to do with having a sense of humor. It's about the fact that BGA doesn't allow politics on their site, among other things, like advertising and insults. According to BGA's own rules, this is supposed to be a friendly, welcoming place for everyone to play games, not a forum where we try to sell stuff to each other or insult each other or disagree about politics. You're not allowed to have an avatar with a political message, either. I believe that these rules, and their strict enforcement, are what makes BGA such a pleasant place for everyone. I'm tired of seeing politics and insults everywhere else on the net, and now I have to see this when I come here. It's not funny, it's divisive.

I hope it is a joke ...... I am against using such research and, above all, using me as an experimental rabbit, without my knowledge.

Nothing about this is actually about politics though. In no way was a political viewpoint expressed. Unless you're just triggered by the image selected... Perhaps you sat on a meeple? I would check to see if something is stuck up there.

Of course, an image of two former US presidential candidates couldn't possibly be political in nature. My bad.

Awful. Shaking my head at this temporary failure of decency. If the other comments are any indication, you should pull it down. No need to apologize. Just take it down.
