For some of it was a non-issue and when we had thought that the devs had caved too whining and crying of a small minority then the 'caving' became an issue. What the labels are about I no longer care. Now that Statesman states that he had already planned on this change I'm satisfied. So if you directed that statement my way please retract it

Hmm, don't think any retraction is needed. By your admission your position was not influenced by nationalistic beliefs. Obviously your posts would also not be coloured in that way and would focus on the caving. So I don't know why you would think I was talking about you.

So how bout we let the non-issue become a non-issue hmm?

Well this seems like a much more reasonable arrangement.

With the patriot badge next to the flag it had this really eerie "did I just pledge allegiance?!" feel to it.

"Freedom" allows the american nationalistic heroes to get their fix, while only the extremely sensitive will object to the intangible open to interpretation concept of freedom being associated with a flag or country.

For those who do not understand, the badge was similar to someone going to court and swearing to tell the truth on the koran instead of the bible. For some it would be a non-issue, for others it would be completely suitable, some would feel a little wierded out but move on, and finally some would explode into goeey little bits at the out rage.

This was a lot like that, and I am glad for the fix/change.

Now one thing I need to comment on is the group of people who claimed it was a non-issue or that everyone else should leave it alone or get over it. When it was moved, it suddenly became very important to the future of the game and society as we know it.. Bad form gang show your beliefs up front, don't try to wield inertia.
