I wonder why you guys think it's offensive while this isn't apparently:

The ones who see things differently.

You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them.
And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.

their offensiveness is equally dependent on the viewer. I found the ingame post idiotic, but not terribly offensive. I found sami`s pic funny, if a bit twisted.

If you dont like his avatar, turn off avatar views. Its not like he is engraving it on your villages square.

I Pmed Sami to change his avatar because I found it distastefull and it bugged me, I also find the ingame harassment that was attempted with the Swastika distastefull. I just don´t see the point in doing things like that other than to offend people. And I believe that offending/herassing people because it gives you the lolz is Sad and should be discouraged if not punished.

edit: hence I am glad JTG is dead, and Sami changed his avatar back.

This is true. I actually am glad you guys let me know. Atleast this way i know the community still has some common sense left.
It was a bit of a cry for attention i guess, but also wanted to see what would happen.

debased currency if you want to get Jorb started again :P

Seriously though, it was a lot more to do with irresponsible lending than lazy workers. In the bigger picture I've heard it's also a symptom of over production no-longer being responded to with over consumption.
