You know something is right with the guild when we get trolls on our personal forums!

By the way, just to clarify: anyone's who's taken High School English knows there are two kinds of symbols: public and personal. So all those scenarios people put forth of having me freak out wherever I see an eagle do not apply. The American Eagle is a symbol whose meaning is known widely (although nowadays its nobler cast seems to be wearing off). When it comes to the symbols created by marginal people playing videos games centered on prejudice and warfare (some of which even allow the playing of Axis forces, a preference of this guild that someone alluded to earlier), one can never be too sure.
The sad aspect of this thread is that my question was answered clearly, calmly, and rationally, in the first response. Thank you Rids.

Can we schedule another post of feigned ignorance for next tuesday during server down? Most of us are bored at that time, and we can surely hit 10 pages much faster then today.

Hmmm.. should I feed the troll in showing the flaw in his last arguement? I think I won't, because I can get more postcount from not answering right away...
+postcount. Gotta get my golden star, and keep Val busy at work reading the forums!
The real sad aspect is, even though you were interested in knowing what Legion's symbol and motto stands for (Which, for my case, I spent about 30 minute googleing to get my answer before I apped to VtS and got all the answers i needed back in the day), you went probably the worst possible way to get the answer, angering the whole community in the process.

I can guess your refutal:
"Well, we use the eagle under its public meaning too! It confers the might of Rome upon us!"
What do you describe a symbol with multiple public connotations adopted for private use as though? It's a still a matter of deciphering which public connotation is being adopted, and so in this sense it's still the context which lends the symbol it's meaning, prefabricated or not-- hence, my original inquiry. And hence, I still won't freak whenever I spot an eagle.

You should realize that some people's lives and histories are profoundly influenced by certain large-scale events, and so specific associations are more readily in their minds. I'm Jewish, if this helps you to understand my vector better.

Hi, I'm Russian.
This is my country's state Coat of Arms. Do you have any questions about Natzi symbolic in it for me too?
P.S. Welcome to the boards, hope you don't mind our forum trolls? They are just bored and it was soooo long since last drama...

If you had questions about the origins of the guild logo, name or motto then simply ask. you dont need to make suggestions :p
What did you expects by turning up and just asking "hi are you nazi's?", especially with the fact that we do have a largely european member base, and many in countires that suffered greatly during the war.
Common sense imo :o
I cant believe i missed 8 pages of drama!

Also, gravitas, if i were you I'd quit now. You arent gunna win this one, no-one is gunna turn around and apologise for the flames, you made a stupid, ignorant post, and while you apologised for the "disruption" it caused, you keep defending the things you implied.
All you will be doin now is feeding the flame :(
