I was typing up my own complaint as you posted. Except I didn't use the word 'possible'.
Serapindal manages to get away with a lot of trolling. Even now, I don't consider the topic an auto-troll: some good debate could arise from it. But the content is graphic and obscene. Just because it is words, not pictures, should not matter. There is a disclaimer, but the disclaimer should be bigger, and in the title or, on these boards, the content itself should be excluded.
If (s)he wishes to argue that Africa has no civilization and can do so without trolling, so be it. This article, however, is not appropriate for the boards.

Graphic and obscene?
No it's what rape is like only very very VERY toned down.
I have seen worse descriptive language used in 'jest' on this forum.

It is obscene. No, it doesn't mention...organs. But it does contain very vivid descriptions, that are upsetting. Under guidelines for film, book and game classifications, tone and intent is considered to be equal and often more important than actual description.
As it stands, this is still unsuitable for an open, all ages board. If mods deem it to be otherwise, then I at least ask that a WARNING, PG-13 or other tag be attached to the title.

*sigh*
Well I think that is a crying shame.
We allow these threads to be filled with mass air strikes , dropping bombs on each other, displays of war everywhere, but one taste of reality and the whole thing is wiped?

Not being righteous, Hack.
Nor for that matter do I feel that my comment warranted such a reply either.
The decision was the Moderators to make.
It is a little late to discuss the matter now anyway as it has been totally wiped.
