Dredlock, et al,
Thanks for the concern.
As far as concern for my feelings goes, I'm pretty thick skinned and I've gotten used to being viewed as somewhere between Carrie's mother and Jim Baker by the average Internet user. In any event I really don't have a leg to stand on if I start complaining considering how voraciously anti-Christian I was myself. Heck, I'd probably have considered the bombing the church an added bonus to the game prior to 1993. Although I'd be a liar if I said it doesn't get wearing after a while, all the petty Jebuz stuff and the nonsensical "Kristchuns is a brand new religion what threatens us like nevar be4 because they r teh most evil evar" replies. Eh. I guess its being judged according to a preconceived stereotypical notion rather than on actual actions and statements that drives you batty. If I were doing that, you'd be right to come down on me like a ton of bricks.
As far as this awful thread is concerned, I suppose I should have stated it differently from the start by saying thank you for NOT including virtual hospitals, schools, day care centers, playgrounds, etc. But at this point I consider the thread dead, and deeply regret bringing it up in the first place. Definitely my fault, and I ask you to forgive me for the utter lapse in common sense this evidenced. My apologies particularly go to Skuzzy and co for tossing the bone into the wolf den in the first place.
If my thinking on bringing this up was flawed from the begginning it is because if a Rabbi who played had complained about what was obviously a synagogue in the town (complete with star of David) that needed to be bombed in order to take the base and the associated inevitable anti-semetic glee and "kristallnacht" comments (believe me, nothing is too low for vox) I would understand and sympathize with his desire to get it out of the game. Obviously some level of sensitivity to that issue is already present or we'd have swastikas on aircraft as Sandman already pointed out. What I failed to remember is that that kind of sensitivity doesn't go both ways. I understand that, and will not whine about it any longer.
Again please accept my sincere apologies.
