Dunno, lets have a big pointless fight with samarui swords. That should relieve the monotony of our meaningless insignificant existence.

What was rule 2 again? "No meaningless acts of self destruction shall be used by posters to ease the ennui their futile lives". No, it's something about racism and porn, so it doesn't

- I don't see no graphics in my post.
- Being nihilistic, it was an impersonal attack (well more of a request really)

- You highlighted "violent acts". That phrase was used in a sentence about graphics depicting them.
- If you are a nihilist you'd be doing it just to pass some time before you died. It can't be a personal attack as the very word 'attack' implicitly recognizes the validity of a moral framework.
