But it's also graphic to shoot someone in the back of their heel with an arrow, or to battle a sea serpent with a spear/sword/hammer, or decapitating Hydras, putting the head of a Gorgon on your shield, etc... these are all sacred stories and images of our cultures.
It's also not the front page of the JoS.
Well it's a good thing it's not, that was my point.
Just seemed a bit fishy to me having it as a signature picture even if it's supposedly symbolic of something else, as it's very graphic as you said, and not something I associate with spiritual advancement or peace of mind. The guy admitted to trolling also but I'm not really sure in what way, and now he's about to leave. I would just advice to change/remove that particular image, but I'm certainly not a mod here. It's just the opinion of mine.
I'm not concerned with him nor defending him. If I'm defending anyone here then it's Kali. It didn't make sense to me, and I assumed possible ignorance on your part which is why I took the time to try to explain regarding the picture. If goblock is an enemy then there are also much better angles to attack from rather than attacking our own cultures.
I sort of understand where you're coming from, although taking this approach towards a troll is probably going to have them laughing at you.
Ok well I did not attack, just expressed my opinion, and if that's something to laugh about then go ahead
