You may be trying to make some statement that says "This happened in our past and it is a bad thing". The problem is there is no contex to the image to make us understand that is what you're trying to say. And also, from what I've seen, coffee spoons has said alot of racist stuff on the boards. There is no way you can say he's trying to be "thought provoking" or making North Americans look at thier history. There is no context for the image. Its just there. That's not making a point at all, its just posting offensive materiel to get a reaction. Now if there was some sort of disclaimer "Never forget our past" or headline or something underneath it, I could understand. But I haven't seen one iota of evidence that coffee spoons is ever trying to "enlighten" us. He's just trying to offend us. That is just being a troll. And trolls should get banned.

Exactly.

I wanted to have some additional comments, but I think that perfectly sums it up. Last night, I wasn't arguing to strip people of their ability to talk about such issues, but to simply not barrage everyone with the images senselessly.
