Ted,
I don't care either way but the move is hardly silly. Americans for too long have ignored the implications of the confederate flag and what it represents. This should have happened 150 years ago.
Censoring history isn't going to work.

The move is silly. There was a war. Gamers like to play war. One side used that flag. The other side practiced genocide on the natives for centuries. Should we go with blue guys and an all blue flag against grey guys with an all grey flag?
