If you're referring to me when you refer to "hypocrite mods" above . . . guess again. I'm not, and probably never will be on this forum.

I posted what I did in my last 2 comments above for two reasons.The first was because I hate to see the wrong person castigated for something they did not say. The second I posted because many people are abysmally ignorant of history, unquestioningly believing whatever they last read on the Internet to be absolute truth and never bothering to actually research historical background or fact.

You did exactly the former in a previous comment. Only you know whether the latter applies to you.

Further discussion of the gesture you find objectionable is IMO likely more appropriate for the "Politcs & Religion" sub-forum and should be discussed there instead of here.
