As the the creator of the pic (reference here - https://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?topic=691100.msg10203526#msg10203526 ), it wasn't meant truly meanly at all really. It was a reference to Hankins's hair(https://i.imgflip.com/8lxhre.jpg), and the fact that he was filled with braggadocio in that moment.
Matt C was thrown in there as a call back to the MattC haircut post of last year ( https://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?topic=661208.msg10102525#msg10102525 ). Where he or someone else said he looked like Mussolini. It was simply a happy accident that both he, and Hankins fit in that photo so well, Matt especially. It was sort of an Easter egg in the whole thing.
As for the rest of this, it seems to have gone south fast. Flexacon has as always been a good poster, perhaps a banning should be slept on, and see how it feels in the morning.
The Mattc/Mussolini shop was so good I didnt realise it was Matt at first look.
If you look at the original pic and then the shop there isnt much in it.
I was the one who originally commented on Brians "Hitler" haircut and posted a moustache on Brians photo.
I think its more Flexacons response to the post by OMR that got him the ban rather than the initial post.
We have one poster who writes JoSA in almost ever reference to America and still gets to post here unchecked.
