Hmm weird, if I'm not mistaken Nazism and swastikas etc are forbidden/outlawed in Germany and yet they still continue to use perhaps one of the most recognizable symbols for Hitler's regime?

Not exactly the same by my reckoning...

deicede did you ever claim to be an academic or have a a phd/masters?

He did. It was only after he was exposed by BeachBum (I believe) that he admitted that he's an EFL teacher in Korea with a BA. While respectable, it doesn't make him anything remotely close to an academic.

it is not the same symbol

Yeah I know it's not exactly the same but I instantly got an image of parading nazi's in my head when I saw your paper there.

If this is true then he is no academic. He is educated but not enough to be considered an academic.

Never claimed having those degrees. I did refer to myself as an 'academic' in the following sense.

Main Entry: 1ac·a·dem·ic
Pronunciation: \ˌa-kə-ˈde-mik\
Function: noun
Date: 1587
1: a member of an institution of learning
2: a person who is academic in background, outlook, or methods
3plural : academic subjects <has no interest in academics>

Not in any professional capacity but rather referring to my outlook. I never claimed to be a professional academic. BF likes to argue about semantics. So in the sense of definition 2, I did use the term.

Did you call yourself an academic in the subject area you were discussing. Whatever that was.
