<div dir="auto">“My heart goes out to you” doesn’t seem Nazi at

<p>Dear Gabriel, I do not know what nationality you are, mine is
German and as such (with the dark history of my country in regards
to the Nazis
which undoubtedly distinctly influences everyone's upbringing and
education there) I am extremely sensitive with this subject. Let
me just say this much - many in my family died due to the Nazis...<br>
</p>
<p>Thus, while what the person said does not qualify as anything
objectionable, the body language while speaking is 100%
unmistakable. It’s the Roman greeting, which later became the
Mussolini and Nazi salute, and he did it twice on the world stage.
To be clear and summarize: It was not something "like" a Nazi
salute, no - it was exactly that, twice, and on the world stage! <br>
</p>
<p>Actions must lead to consequences. There is zero doubt about what
he did and about what he intentionally displayed on the world
stage. The guy is not some idiot who does not know what he does.
This was no harmless fun talk between friends in a local bar.
There can be absolutely no foolish excuses. There must be no
tolerance for this. Neo-Nazis have already celebrated what
happened!</p>
<p>In Germany, you would be prosecuted and could go to jail for such
actions—and rightfully so. As Germans, we learned the hard way (at
least my ancestors did) when we lost our country. My German
history teachers in school taught me, <em>“You cannot debate with
a Nazi.”</em> At that point, it is already too late.</p>
<p>Such things must be stopped at the very beginning, before it is
too late. This cannot be tolerated. Full stop.</p>
<p>I fully support a decision to remove anything related to the
person in question or companies he is involved with from being
associated with any OSGeo content everywhere. I also support that
the process of such a decision being transparent and orderly,
though.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Best regards<br>

Jody, we are not going to find excuses by saying that
removing the bird <br>
icon from <a href="http://www.osgeo.org" rel="noreferrer"
target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">www.osgeo.org</a>
in WP requires a budget, right... I'm currently <br>
logged in in wordpress trying to find where it is. I
probably don't have <br>
the appropriate rights to do so, but I'd assume this should
be a 30 <br>
second task for someone slightly knowledgeable...<br>
