What Twitter is Hiding (Painting of Martin Luther)

Please, stop with your dirty tricks _______. If persons who resemble Martin Luther are complete trash, it's nothing for any social networking site to hide.

"Three Reformers: Luther - Descartes - Rousseau." Maritain, Jacques. Charles Scribner's Sons. New York: 1929.
And for good measure, Here is what Luther said, according to Maritain:
'This is what (Luther) himself, says:
Have we sinned? "Jesus Christ stoops," says Luther, "and lets the sinner jump on His back and so saves him from death and the gaoler,* that is what Christ is for." "What a consolation for pious souls to put Him on like this and wrap him in my sins, your sins, the sins of the whole universe, and consider Him thus bearing all our sins." "When you see that your sins cleave to Him, then you will be safe from sin, death and hell. Christianity is nothing but a continual exercise in feeling that you have no sin, although you sin, but that your sins are thrown on Christ. It is enough to know the Lamb who bears the sins of the world: sin cannot detach us from Him, were we to commit a thousand fornications a day or as many murders. Is not that good news if, when someone is full of sins, the Gospel comes and tells him: Have confidence and believe and henceforth your sins are remitted? Once this stop is pulled out, the sins are forgiven; there is nothing more to wait for"' (26).
