That's it! and cschurz, almost 200 posts ;) Good work !

Weirauch:
OK so i read this a bit ago and i had a battle inside myself on whether or not i should throw my thoughts and feelings into the mix. One because I am newer and I'm not sure if its OK for me to get involved with these types of discussions yet. And two, because these arguments are based on pure emotion and therefore no one will ever completely agree.

That being said here goes nothing. I agree with Tabooti in general on this one. I find it crude that the symbol would be related to the opticraft webpage what-so-ever. I have no idea why it is on the page. It probably was never meant to cause anyone distress or harm. But I cant think of any reason for it to be there. I Feel if it does offend anyone and that person can prove a valid point ^Tabooti^ then it should seriously be considered for removal.

To whomever was saying it is just a symbol. Yes that may be true. Its just a picture on a piece of paper/cloth. Alone it never caused anyone any harm. But the men and women who wore that symbol did. They killed, tortured, and destroyed everything they saw unworthy. And whether or not it bugs you personally should not be your greatest concern. Think about the people who will find it. If it has the potential to cause harm. Why have it?

Hasan (Tabooti):
I've already argued this with Relkab, I'm not sure what his final stance on this was. But it was something like "It's okay, because it only pops up once every 1500 times"
So, if it's okay to have something like that, why not put a christian cross up there? or the star of David, the swastika, and Muslim crescent.

Other than the fact that genocides were committed and justified with these symbols. You know that people could get offended by it.
Personally I'm offended that there's a Hammer and Sickle here in Opticraft. And I'm quite sure that anyone from the Scandinavia, and Slavic countries would be deeply offended. There are even groups from their country that still attack, and defame soldiers from the red army, because of what they did to their people.

I can list off another genocide in the name of communism Holodomor.

In accordance with the information from the Ukrainian Ministry for Foreign Affairs, 14 countries have recognized the Holodomor as an act of genocide:

Australia
Canada
Colombia
Ecuador
Estonia
Georgia
Hungary
Latvia
Lithuania
Mexico
Paraguay
Peru
Poland
Vatican

and 5 countries have recognized the Holodomor as a criminal act of the Stalinist regime:

Argentina
Chile
Czech Republic
Slovakia
Spain


UTTERLY DISGUSTING THAT YOU EVEN PASS THIS AS A JOKE.

Here's part one of a documentary about this.

If it's unacceptable to put up a symbol such as a Swastika, It should be unacceptable to put in a symbol that represents a greater evil!

matticus21:
Im going to agree with tabooti.
It's a symbol of communism. It also represents pain and suffering various countries suffered from due to communism. I also dont see how this symbol has any relevance to opticraft. So why fight to keep this symbol?

Hasan (Tabooti):
I'm sure more people will agree. Spread the word.

Here's a simple photo you can put in your signature.
