Bernie, I wasn't "defending" ...
In Response To: Re: It offends me!!!1 ()

... anything -- certainly not anything to do with the Nazis or the Holocaust (which was and is indefensible by any measure). And it wasn't my intention to offend you.

I was merely relating the history of the symbol before its misuse by the Nazis.

And while I can understand why you and others would be offended by a display of the Nazi swastika (e.g., on Nazi paraphernalia), the swastika chips had no connection whatsoever with the Nazis. They are, in effect, "innocent victims" of events that occurred after they were produced.

In fact, you may recall that one of my earliest "fights" with an eBay seller was over his misrepresentation of swastika chips as authentic Nazi items.
