Hello there, what are the origins of the legion logo?
[insert 1000 pseudo-intellectual / historical legionnaires' comments here]
Kthxbye!

That wasn't my question. Since people are conscious of the social stigma placed on Nazis, it was always my impression that if any Nazi movement existed here, it would be covert, with only an overt nod toward their ideology, as I stated way above, given by the guild's emblem.
Believe me, nothing short of a direct address would have been sufficient.
I just knew you'd say that.

I hope you will find many covert neonazi gaming communities that use nazi symbolism in a cryptic fashion in order to conceal their ongoing efforts to indoctriate other gamers with neo-fascistic and/or neo-nazi propaganda.
Sherlock, it's time to light your pipe, kick back and enjoy the unraveling of this hidden conspiracy!

Funny, but I bet you that at least one or several exist.

Once I addressed to one of the guildies as Natzie (actually after he mentioned he leaved in one german town I asked he if he "Natzi too") and got very negative responce from those germans who were online at that time. Some people in guild are reacting too expressive, sometimes over-reacting. Since then I'm trying to stay out from national/political etc jokes. We have too many different people here.
I suggest you consider this and stop posting here.
