I don't want to get into this, and I tried to avoid commenting earlier. But, however.. I understand that these comments have offended those involved, and yes, he acted out of all reason.
I suppose he thought that these people weren't members, which is no excuse, but.. he's just a little too much of a livewire, sometimes. He's a friend of mine in real life, and at the time, he was a little toasted. And smoking some weird substances, so he claimed.
He showed me the picture over MSN, and whatever else, but.. eh, who am I kidding. This is a bad thing to have done, especially to hurt those people involved.
I don't think this is worth the trouble. I'm sorry if anyone was offended, though. It was a cruel joke that has gotten out of hand, and I'd tell him to come and say sorry, but he's not around. When I see him tomorrow, I'll give him the lowdown.
Again, sorry for the problems caused… but, you also rose to the challenge, and said a few things back to him. Does that make us all equal, here? - But, anyhow. I'm sure someone will come to a decision, I just hope he doesn't get banned, because he loves this place. He brought me to it, anyhow, so... eh.
I give up, there's no avoiding a negative confrontation, here. However, I will show some apology on his behalf, to all those parties affected by the offensive, if somewhat crude, image of the cosplay artists.

EDIT: He's a perverted fanboy, and nothing more.
