Just a side note, I was slightly offended by a link I saw here on a thread.

Internal Link to thread here

I followed the link, then felt quite sickened by what the site is suggesting. Maybe I am just too sensitive to all living beings.

seal hunting is a way of life and also a very historically rich part of many Inuit and northern cultures customs, income, food chain & livings.

with all that there is to find offense to on the internet these days,
calling attention to an image hosts partial link is probably more attention than would have occurred had you left it lie in silence.

however, we strive to maintain a modicum of peace - and for that very reason the warnings are present in the forum rules about visiting offsite links that we have no control over. the actual link does not link to anything in violation of the forum rules, and therefor can remain.
