My gosh people get offended over anything these days on a computer screen. Completely derails the thread saying it offends them. I'd suggest writing a book and telling us how you feel.

Yes, I was responding to the assertion it was a Hindu symbol (not to mention it isn't in that style).

Seriously... D'Arcy thinks a GIF waving a Swastika flag to celebrate a Flames mid-season victory is okay? I don't think he does.

I think we all know at this point how you feel about the GIF. Report it and it won't bother you any more. I would also stop talking about it so we can stop drawing attention to a symbol that clearly upsets you.

Well, I guess this is as good a celebration gif as any right now

I agree with Reggie. It is offensive in any context and inappropriate for a hockey celebration. But I don't set the rules. I don't like the skin head dancing either but I'm sure it means something nice to someone and I don't have any plans to police the Internet. But trying to use obscure references and historical data and silly shows about killing nazi robots. This site is better than that. IN MY OPINION?

How many games below 0.500 (points percentage; let's not fight about that again) were they at their worst? 4? 5?

PM D'Arcy.

While I agree with you on this issue, I don't feel that it needs to get discussed at any greater length in this thread.

OMG, if someone here says a single thing bad about the TechnoViking I'm going to lose it.

It's a celebration. Who cares if someone throws in a Nazi gif haha. Especially one that is about fighting Nazi Robots. If anything we need more of that.

I'm perfectly fine doing that.

I don't mean to derail the thread. Go Flames go.

Thanked for the TechnoViking. That gif is from a video wherein the people of Berlin are dancing thru the streets in a festival. Skinhead.. What an insult.

Really you think that a swastika is an example of people getting offended over anything?
Let's get this thread back on track
To be clear: a swastika is not appropriate on this site. Ok?
Any questions? Pm the mod account

Woohoo! According to Sportsclubstats, the Flames have jumped over the Preds and now have a 57.3% chance of making the playoffs!

Go Flames (and Allies)!

I know the Canucks were not the opponent tonight, but I love this gif. Hope Backs is ok.

Posting swastikas = uncool

It's odd to think that the Flames won the game 6-3, but only 2 Flames put the puck in the net. Weird game tonight. Excellent, but weird.
