I noticed that a DU'er..........
has as their avatar, the US flag upside down. Etiquette for the display of the flag says that flying it in this position is to show that person(s) are in distress or military objects are in distress. To show the flag in this manner when one is not in distress is disrepectful to the flag.
If this avatar is in the DU library can it be removed. I specifically am a stickler when it comes to respect for the flag and showing the flag in this way is disrespectful.
On another level many die hard conservatives and teabaggers began flying the flag in this position in 2009 when President Obama was sworn into office.
Thanks.
