A belated Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all.

In my last thread Bobabode recommended to me to learn to converse in English. I decided not to post here anymore until I would have learned to converse in English.

Anyway there was a quite interesting issue that happened at AK at Christmas and I would like to share it with you. I replaced my tube gear avatar by my PC avatar a week ago and considered it and still consider it as a symbol of friendship and reconciliation between two nations.

Well - when I opened the AK on Christmas Morning I encountered a pm without "Hello", without "Regards" - just this sentence by AK member "Jim West PA":

Just wanted to let you know that my familiy, all American Military, are seriously offended by the way you deface our Nation's flag in your avatar.

Moderator RichPA told me that the avatar is okay. It was generally considered to be a temporary one and I wanted to replace it by a gear avatar again on January 2nd. However - I already replaced it. My avatar is not a denigrated USA flag, it is just a picture of a phantasy flag. I will not participate in the discussion but I would be grateful for some statements.
