A lot of those in prison for homicide are nice people, too.

Or so one would assume ;)

No, I mean genuinely nice.  I remember when my mother-in-law was in prison a few years ago, there was a nice lady at the next table over who was serving a life sentence for murdering her husband.  She has since remarried, and her husband visits her regularly.  She's a nice lady, from what I heard.

People change, yes.  Meeting someone who has done bad things might change your view of them, yes.  But that doesn't mean you give a criminal free rein just for coming off as a nice guy.  Cold-blooded killers stay in prison.  Banned members stay banned.

Yeah, but he had taken the time to drawn the little picture, then hosted it to a host site, and then embedded it in a forum post.  It'd be a shame to waste all that effort.

It is possible that kphoger is joking, but I'm not good at reading people, so I could not tell you if that is the case or not.  :D

But whatever the case, I will say that whoever did make that picture (maybe it was US71) did a pretty good job. So kudos to whoever it was (even if they aren't on this forum).  :nod:

If people had manually modified your posts, there would be a 'last edited by' line at the bottom.  If you don't see that, then it hasn't been manually modified by any Admins/Mods, or even yourself.

Now, could a mod have added a word filter that affects the whole forum whenever somebody posts a word? Yes.  That wouldn't cause the forum to get tagged with the 'last edited by' line.  However, we will not confirm or deny what words may be on that list.
