I really didn't think his avatar was that bad. Surely, it is just as bad as all those commies with there hammer and sicles; a flag under which even more people were murdered then the Nazis

On the other hand, the US has murdered more people per capita, meaning it's really good at it.

Actually, what you had there was 100-nil.

Own goal would be what he should have replied if he knew that the trap was there.

Did you actually pay attention to the contents of this thread? This is the Hindu/Buddhist "swastika"

**Locutus** · May 31, 2003, 05:29

Like I said, I've seen both forms in the Hindu (indeed, Hindu, not Buddhist

) parts of Asia.

There exist many types of signs which stand for the Swastika. Even the standard version has two forms, the one facing the right - also called the symbol of- the right hand path and the one facing the left, called the symbol of the left hand path. These two Swastikas are also considered to represent the male and female. There is also a Swastika which is an amalgam of these two types

A common form of the Hindu swastika symbol:

Locutus,

Yes, sometimes the Hindu symbol is drawn clockwise, but it would be nigh impossible to distinguish it from the Nazi one without context, e.g. used as an avatar. You can never go wrong with the counterclockwise one, however.

**Locutus** · May 31, 2003, 06:51

Well, I'd say either both are still prety darn close to the Nazi swastika and should prolly be avoided in avatars, unless there's a very good reason for it. But I guess it really depends on the exact form of the swastika and its context (or lack thereof) as well: nobody seems to have a problem with the swastika in Uber KruX's avatar (though I'm not sure how long he's had it). Like someone already said: a lot comes down to intent... (which in Zylka's case doesn't leave much room for doubt

)

Man, what really makes me angry is that I posted a lot in Diss´Nazi-thread, while here people get +1s for posting about (nearly) the same topic

If they remove Uber's I can think of at least one more that needs to go considering the offensive symbol he formed it out of.

Nono, your avatar is ok, DD

What exactly was the difference between Zylka's avatar and this one?
