I had a picture of Ron Paul (just Ron Paul, nothing political in it) and it was removed.

I find this strange - so if I put up a picture of Samuel Adams, that'd be removed too- for being "political"? How about John Hancock?

It's all about smart timing, Smart. Ron Paul is running for President now. Samuel Adams and John Hancock haven't done anything relative or politically charged in at least 15-20 years.

Unless I'm mistaken, we have a mod with a sketch of Dr. Paul as his current AV. It sure looks like him, anyway. I'm okay with it, but can understand how "some" might not be.

Political avatars are not allowed as that woud lead to a political discussion

My policy has been to stick with the original theatrical cut and double dip on the new version when it's available in 3D.
