The avatar, I thinks would not be that controversial in Europe as most of us here view USA like that flag is!

Oh, another flag debate...

That is why personal avatars should be forbidden... We all should start to use that Deirdre logo, to be a real community. I like Deirdre. Plus, it would be fun to see devilmunchkin running naked through the trees.

Tired of ads?

It's a bunch of pixels on a screen, no innocents were harmed in the production of it. Who cares? I'm more insulted by the stereotype that such a thing would insult me as an American

I think the 45 degree rotation on the swaztica was an invention of the Nazi's.

I think aeson has made the validest (sic) point here.
I also agree that if I knew the intention for which he chose that avatar things might be different, but as I dont, Im not and dont think anyone should be offended or whatever.

I would oppose the banning of allowing people to burn their own country's flag. It might be repugnant to some, but it is a form of protest.

As for Grrr's avatar --- thousands of homosexuals were killed in Nazi Germany. I do not understand why Grrr is using this avatar, but no matter how stupid Grrr's avatar is, I guess he is free to display the stupid avatar.

What the swastika used to be is largely irrelevent. What it is now is a bloody, hate filled representation of evil. Just like an instrument of death can be changed into a symbol of life (the cross) so can a symbol of life be transformed into a symbol of death.

Get over it you f*cking pagan hippies.

He's been told to change it or get restricted.

The use of swastkas in any avatar will NOT be allowed.
I also feel that all they do is symbolize hate and genocide.

So that's it!
