Well said, Mr. Buddahaid... but what I don't get about this whole string is that one of the most primary recurring topics is "immersion into the moment.. into the game" - and after all it is a Uboat sim (originally anyway) - and Uboats were fielded by the Germans... yes, Nazi Germany during the war years. Isn't the use of sigs merely a way to gain further immersion into the game? Is my sig offensive to any Japanese players? If I play the Uboat missions and change my sig will that mean I have become a proponent of the Nazi philosophy? No.
Personally, my opinion would be to live and let live, gentlemen... it is just a computer game... and from my perspective the sig image one carries is simply for greater immersion into the game, and not some perverse fantasy about elitism or eliminating other races.
I mean no disrespect to anyone who lost loved ones during the war years. History can never be changed and hurt sometimes never completely goes away.
