I think not. That particular flag was embellished with the nazi eagle. So that user went the extra mile. Conus has been known to go the same distance. It is really not neccessary, is in poor taste, and reflects poorly on the community as a whole.

Then i consider the use of the world "percieved" in the original post. What kylania is implying is
- he doesn't think there is anything wrong with this. I raise these points here and here to the contrary.
- he is at the same time, discrediting other view points which are entirely valid. To say something is "percieved" is to say it has no validity or basis.
- is in effect saying, "here you go, STFU", only on the sly and subtle.

I take issue with that. There really was no need for subtle jabs.

I'll leave it at that, ive spoken my mind, and there is nothing more to say.
