Okay, deep breaths....

First of all, I do not, in any way, shape, form, or speech condone or like the choice of name this person has decided to use, or the phrase at the end. I am not jewish, I am not even that religious (try over 8 years in private Catholic school, not for me, thank you very much - forcefed religion and I do not mix)...but I do respect others, their beliefs, and their values to the best of my ability.

Which brings me to my second point...

I know you all are upset, but geez, you haven't even given the girl a chance to explain! This is NOT the first time I have seen that name used, nor am I certain that it will be the last. It seems to be a very popular name among RPers, simply BECAUSE of it's evil background. For example - I could just as easily take offense to any name that had the name 'Satan' or any other name for the devil in it, because that, in some religions, is a sin, or evildoing. I could also take Sacrafice to offense, because that normally means animal sacrificing, which I believe is cruel and inhumane. While neither of these are as greatly known as the swastica, I think you all need to take a moment, breathe, and think about what you say before you jump down this person's back.

Perhaps if you asked her NICELY instead of pretty much attacking her, you would see that she could very well be a very cool person - just with a 'different' choice of name and phrase than you. I very highly doubt that she came in here meaning to hurt you guys or that she said to herself 'I know there are some jews in here, I'm going to piss them off!'. In fact, I'm damn sure that she didn't do that.

So take this how you want to....Cobra is out of the game, for now, but if she were in it, she would not destroy this individual right now - at least wait until the person your attacking explains themselves, before you burn them at the stake.

Things are not always what they seem...and miscommunication has been known to destroy empires.
