If someone is offended, we can tell them to look at
their history books once again, as that is not the symbol
nazis used, as the one they used, is turned 45 degrees
compared to that. (In fact, that is a "fylfot", I've been
told.)
As you have a ".fi" in your email address, you should know
this also, as that sign was in use in our air forces logo,
until 1945. That symbol you've presented, hasn't been drawn to
dirt by anyone else but ignorant people who do not know
history.
IF that would be turned for that 45 degrees and coloured with
red, white and black, then there would be reason to get
offended. (In fact, black logo in white circle located in
red basecolor, that is how todays nazis present their symbols,
not with swastika.)
