Is it appropriate to use an image of Hitler in your sig?

Hitler slaughtered thousands; you get banned on a board by a mod run amuck. Now I don't care one way or another if the pic is in a sig, but can you really draw an intellectually honest comparison between the two?

Yeah, it's a joke and it's harmless, but even as a joke, it's been overdone. As rhetoric, it's ineffective and doesn't really make much of a point.

Just something to think about. But I think that y'all are willing to seek opinions speaks volumes--and tells me that the mod on the other board is probably a putz!

^^ Yep. I'm prone to it. Didn't want to stir up any historical debates, however...since there are those out there who doubt what happened.

I don't doubt it. I have two grandparents from poland who spent several months is Auschwitz. I've heard some amazing stories from them.

I guess Hitler just isn't far enough in the past, I'll make up some Atillah the Hun pics

I suppose you are correct, although Alexander would be a good pic, considering he actually ruled over a much larger population than even hitler did......
