Just following FR guidelines. Perhaps you take it up with JR, (courtesy ping).

Please enjoy our forum, but also please remember to use common courtesy when posting and refrain from posting personal attacks, profanity, vulgarity, threats, racial or religious bigotry, or any other materials offensive or otherwise inappropriate for a conservative family audience.
Wasn’t directed at you specifically, but the entire FR community in general. IMO, this site has some image issues thanks to some emotionally stunted users, which I would love to have out on it’s own thread, which I may try to start one day soon.
