To me there is no absolutely no difference between having a swastika and a hammer/sickle, as part of your profile. They both represent the most evil and vile regimes in history that lead to the death of millions of innocents. To vilify one, yet laugh the other off, is a sign of either ignorance or human callousness.
And yeah, in a world were people lose their minds over the tinniest of language indiscretions, I'm pretty ok with myself for being fickle about symbols of genocide.
