  1. Yes, this is exactly correct, and thank you for posting the common sense response on this topic. My personal view is that geocaching is an international nonpolitical sport, and that once a little bit of politics creeps in, it becomes a slippery slope of what people start thinking is OK to include on their cache page. I personally dont object to the MAGC or yellow ribbon logos, but it is Groundspeak's game and they get to make the rules. What I do object to is when folks let their patriotism and love for country, which we all have whether we watch Fox news or MSNBC, lead them down the slippery slope of directing hate speech toward's Arabs and Muslims by the use of words such as "Jihadistan" on their cache pages. I did make one (one of many, I am sure) of the original complaints to Groundspeak regarding this, as I viewed use of the word as racial and religious bigotry and very inappropriate. We need to remember it is not just Christians and Anglo-Saxons who cache, and be respectful of folks of other faiths and of other nationalities. zuma Zuma is way too modest in his portrayal in this issue. He was instrumental in getting the yellow ribbons off of hundreds of cache pages as well as the stifling of any patriotic speech on cache pages. His goofy concept of "hate speech" would be laughable if it weren't so dangerous. Don't be taken in, folks.
  2. Yes, we certainly wouldn't want to hurt the feelings of the Taliban, for example... Surely they have enough on their plate that they don't need harassment from some prejudiced moron on Geocaching.com.
