"But I tell you, we were gods once, and we shall be gods again". - In defense of the future: a Logical Discourse.
Why would he want to change it? There are only two possibilities:
1. He/she is the 88th person to try and use the name White Tiger creating a total coincidence. Why should he/she care if some lame Neo-****s use code? Deferring any symbols, slang, etc. to them simply cedes them power.
2. He/she is a Neo-**** and has selected the name/symbol on purpose. In this case he/she would most certainly not want to change it as it was selected for this reason in the first place.
I gave up trying to police how people represent themselves on the internet a long time ago. It seems, in retrospect, a rather pointless endeavor doesn't it? It begs the question of why you bothered? Do you truly think the person has no clue and you were trying to be helpful? Or were you merely seeking to launch some sort of passive aggressive attack on said person or their credibility? Wouldn't it have been easier to just say, "hey are you a freaking ****? Why should we care what you think?"
We should reign this back before the Moderators remind us, but my point is simple. The person may or may not be what you are saying. It isn't our job (at least not in this Forum) to "gently" do anything. This guy was talking about the thread in question. If you really don't like him using the Iron Cross, put up your own picture which you think will annoy him back. I'm sure you can locate some cool lingo you could put in your name to do the same.
I'm not picking a fight with you. I'm just doing my own "gentle" reminder that some things make certain people see "red" and react in ways that probably aren't the best. Why don't you and I call it a day on this one and get back to talking about the topic. I think there are other places on this site you can go off on this kind thing. Cool beans?

However the process of robo-insemination is far too complex for the human mind!
A knee high fence, my one weakness
I will deal with this later.
Hint, someone is in a lot of trouble for making accusations based purely on speculation.
Hey Orks, do you remember that whole thing where you insulted me too? Ooooh boy, are you in for the high jump.
Red like roses, fills my dreams and brings me to the place where you rest...
A third possibility I didn't think about. I just assumed he was the 88th person to use the name. That one happens to me all the time when other people use the same nickname as myself (although clearly I've never had racism applied to mine). I hate it when I miss a possibility. In any event, I think it is always better to give people the benefit of the doubt.
Exactly. Both the Iron Cross and the Swastika were symbols long before Hitler got to start giving them out or co-opted them. It is ironic that the guy predicted the reaction.and he was right it took what a day before the suggestion of racism when he was worrying about using an iron cross*...[
