Look Schneed is schneed, he is gonna call out someone when he sees fit. I agree with what he said to(it is kinda stupid to get all riled up over a joke, especially it's lake of intent).

Could it have been told a different way? Probably.

not everyone sees it as a joke and to bash them for that is nonsense.

I'm reminded of this... Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jyllands-Posten_Muhammad_cartoons_controversy) and I can't help but laugh.

Calm down, Mark. While you had a couple of good games, you really did ruin Gibbs' second stint here.

Anyway, you are definitely taking this a little too seriously and I would be more offended if the moderators get in the business of censorship because people refuse to "change the channel".

I don't think anyone is mocking Jesus at all. I am a Christian, too btw.


Before you come down too hard on Mark, He did have his one night in Dallas...

Hey folks, I woke up to a wonderous bashing....did I express my offense without error? No...however,

I will never back down at the defense of the name of Jesus....if you need to let the hate out....I am your target....pile on!

I do appreciate the constructive feedback about how to block avatars so I don't see this image as well as the explaination of intent. I know the intent was not intentional, but it still is offensive. I was offended at the Michael Jordon Black Jesus references too by the way....I never said anything then...but to up the ante and throw a crown of thorns on it was a bit too much for me....especially if someone is suggesting making a profit by it by selling t-shirts too.

I don't expect anyone to neccessarily agree with me, I was expecting a more respectful response...not for my sake, for I know how some of you feel about me now...but for the name of Jesus itself.

Maybe we could sell shirts without the thorn. Seriously though, the intent was not to offend you and I apologize for that.

As for Schneed being Schneed. Honestly, I think Schneed could have and should have been more respectful. And I think the rest of the board has to stop encouraging him to be an asshole whenever he pleases. That's really on the mods I think.

Not sure what type of reaction you were expecting skinsnut, you came in here guns blazing demanding the thread be closed.

If you had opened the debate in a calm and respectful manner, the following discussion may have followed suit. Instead you kicked the door in and to hear that you are surprised by the reactions is somewhat comical.

By the way we're not profiting at all from the shirts. We never have, not when we sold Sean Taylor tribute shirts or anything else.

The intent of all of this was to just have a little fun. If you disagree and don't want to participate that's fine. But we're not closing any threads and not changing any images.

Remember this was an issue that just a few of you got really heated about. It's a very small sample size to base any kind of generic generalizations about what people care about.

This board is filled with a great wide range of ideals and opinions.

Anytime the lines of respect gets crossed around here there are many who will call it out.

A ten year old could read this thread and have a pretty good idea which posts crossed the line.

I agree. As for Schneed being Schneed, I believe others have been banned for just being themselves when being themselves became inappropriate. I've probably caught a couple of breaks from the administrator myself so I'm not going to complain. Skinsnut has a right to his opinion, but he does not control this board. Still, I don't understand the level of anger being expressed toward him. Personally, some of the idiotic "insights" of what's wrong with the Redskins has offended me more and been more deserving of "wrath" than anything Skinsnut has said. I personally have accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, and look at "Pineapple Je5us" as more of a comment on Colt Brennan and his faithful followers who believe he is the salvation of this franchise than as disrespect to Jesus Christ. If it offends you Skinsnut, perhaps, "Forgive them Father for they know not what they do" would be appropriate here. Or maybe understanding the intent of calling a 3rd string QB Pineapple Je5us. I see no reason to be offended nor am I looking for one. Training camp is here. Hail Redskins!

I think you are entitled to your opinion, however you did come here guns blazing demanding that the entire world be changed just for you, without even thinking about the context in which this joke was made. As a Christian, I don't think this joke was made with the intent to offend those of us who believe in Jesus, nor was it made with the intent to offend or attack anyone's beliefs.

I do believe some people here got way out of hand in responding to you, and should have been a bit more respectful. But then again, we have to remember how serious things are not taken over the internet. I hope this is a learning moment for everyone and we can move on to talk about our team.
