Signatures praising Hitler, avatars with Hitler, swastikas, etc…..

He’s probably a Jew-hating liberal from England. They’re like termites on this board.

I’m not even Jewish and all this anti Semitism is still irritating as hell to constantly see.

Another fairly new posting member also sports an avatar of the flag of Israel with a big “X” through it. It’s sad. He OTHERWISE seems to be sensible; but I don’t like when the conservative brand is cast in the light of anti-Semites or racists.

Why am I foolish? I’m not on the left.

As far as the swastika, it is now the symbol of Hitler’s extermination of Jews, Nobody thinks of the Navajo’s when using it, or seeing it.

A very nice mod - the best one, imo - has contacted me and we have been in discussion. I appreciate his/her fair-mindedness, and my point has been taken.

We can lock the thread now, as far as I’m concerned.

Thank you to the mod.

stop thinking there is a double standard. To the left, there is no double standard. The only standard is theirs.

It’s pretty horrific, indeed. We have one poster whose signature line calls out in support of Hitler.

I’m pointing out the double standard to mods.

One trouble with scumbag retards like that is that they don’t have a high enough IQ to grasp that they’re retarded.

If Lisa had a conversation with a mod, as she has said, then maybe they will.

So true.

Perhaps it's just time for the OP to go and be offended someplace else.....Problem solved, problem staying solved.

I have run into that creature, too.

At least the top antisemite is now gone.

You can hide signatures. The screen is less cluttered if you do.

Or, perhaps, just as the racially offensive term “n*****” is forbidden on this board, so too the religiously and ethnically offensive display of the Nazi swastika can be forbidden on this board.

Note: this is not a “freedom of speech” issue. That prohibition in the 1st Amendment is to limit the government’s power and authority. It doesn’t pertain to a private entity.

Heck, if USMB management was so inclined, they could ban the word “the.”

I find your drug addict avatar in poor taste, but I'd not be on you to change it.

Fairness and equality are worth striving for.


The problem with antisemitism is that it infects the extreme portion of the right as well as the mainstream left. Those prejudiced against Jews outnumber those who aren't and the gap is widening.

The avie is not of the actor. The avie is of the character he played in one movie.

And if this Board (for some mindless reason) determined that any image of “Blutarsky” was forbidden, that would be one of their terms and conditions. I’d either abide by it or leave.

I’m really unclear about the hub bub. I frankly have no particular desire to use the N word. I also have no desire to use a swastika as an avie.

BTW, did the OP complain when Roadrunner and OPDQ sported an avatar of a swastika adorned donkey?

Stupid question.

In order to suggest (in an avie) the political view that “the Dem Party is Nazi-like,” the use of the Nazi symbol ON the symbol of the Dem Party is hardly offensive.

It may be an overstatement or an over generalization. It may be misguided or even incorrect. But it is just a claim about another group.

What’s your major malfunction, fume? Do you have some burning need to offend black people by using the N word? Or do you have a different burning need to offend Jewish people by displaying the swastika?
