[imc-scotland-discussion] about hidden comment by Ludd "olympicnazism"

[For Mother Earth Scotland]

I agree with what you say, if you add the text in the email to the
picture, I have no problem what so ever with it reappearing!

But like it is, symply because Hilter was very keen to use the games in
1936 doesn't automaticly mean there is a link between nazism and the games
these days. (Although after reading your comments I now know there is.
Thanks for that.)

An ornament with both the symbols on it is hardly a proof for a link
between the two. It makes it seem as a cheap slagging of of the games and
doing the cause harm I believe.

That is my humble opinion. I do not veto of course! If others agree with
Meltegez, I do not object.
I did not see any comments on it. Nor any reference to the link between
Nazism and the games in the parent article.

Respect!
Ludd

Let me know what to do, does it have to be me who lifts the "sanction" on
the picture or can others do that aswell? I am away for a few days to a
place I can't go online...
