Why was I forced to change my avatar?

[NW21Tamil]

The avatar I used was the flag of Tamil Eelam and is used all the time in western countries.
It is perfectly reasonable to use and yet due to Rajapaksa propaganda spread by Sri Lankan members I was forced to remove it.

Because we are pro Sri Lanka

Because we are pro Sri Lanka

But why? They committed genocide on innocent civilians. And this is a very sensitive topic for my people, please don't mess around and joke with it.

Only recognized countries have flags. Tamil Eelam is not a country, just a concept. It's a figment of the imagination.

Does that answer your question?

Tamil Eelam is an aspiration for Tamils worldwide and as an aspiration I should be allowed to use it.
Also please cut the rude tone with me, I expected better from an Indian.

Relax man! I wasn't trying to be rude at all. Just putting facts on the table.

The joke was the fact you where using a emoticon to signify arrogance and disrespect. Also the flag of Tamil Eelam is nothing to do with Pakistan and this was a international forum last time I checked so all different views should be incorporated here.

Possibly because we support Sri Lanka & the territorial integrity of Sri Lanka !

Who forced you to remove it?

anyways, that was the flag of the LTTE, a banned Organization in many countries. Your present avatar pic does a far better job of conveying the idea of Tamil Eelam.

Cool down - i had no intention to disrespect you or your cause, You are free to present your views but as Orion already told only recognized country flags are allowed as per forum rules.

He wasn't talking about his flag but his avatar, which was an ealam flag.

A Sri Lankan member reported it to Web Master and told him lies about it. The Tamil Eelam flag is used in western countries and even in football matches.
