Alright guys let's all calm down and stop sniping at each other, I don't have 
to want to call for moderation of the list again.

That said, I have my own concerns by using the swastika.  While the purest form 
of the swastika comes from non-Nazi religious symbols, we should avoid using it 
because of the way it was twisted during the late 30s and 40s.  Keeping it in 
will cause debates such as these which already started here which should not be 
taking place.

The rule of thumb in the world is "if it will potentially be seen as extremely 
offensive don't even go anywhere near there."  This is the rule which is being 
broken here.

I have yet to review the draft due to time constraints but I feel that a 
majority of the community will agree with me on this one - the swastika is a 
"no go" so it should be pulled from any Ubuntu documentation, draft or not.
