Covid politicized poker enough. No one cares about your opinion on global politics. That's not why we're here. Websites and corporations aren't people and don't have opinions. Poker is supposed to be above/outside of this nonsense.

ls, why are you so upset that there's a flag of a country under invasion on the website?

why is this such a big deal to you? should it also be unacceptable that your avatar is an american cartoon?

Many people come to this particular Forum to discuss politics. I post far more here and in RGT than in all of the poker forums combined.

Perhaps a thread in About the Forums might be more appropriate to discuss your concern.

Poker is actually a social game and as such it has facilitated many a political discussion over the years.

I'd suggest you spend some quiet time in the woods but you might have to visit a state park which would remind you of politics which would tilt you up even more so....just stay here and cry.

We're here for you.

If you want to speak to the site owners, who are the ones who made the decision to post the flag, a thread in the Politics isn't going to do a lot.

This goes beyond politics for them; either one or both of them are from, and/or have family in, Ukraine, and I believe have many family members and friends from there. If you want to know more about why they feel the way they do, I'd suggest you start by watching the video in this thread:

https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/2...raine-1804759/

If you still feel it's important you share with them that the flag needs to go, I'd suggest a PM, or start a thread in a more appropriate forum:

https://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/55/about-forums/

If it were me, I'd just let it go at this point, but that's up to you.

I love that you're posting this in the Politics forum.

People come to 2+2 for many reasons. While most are coming for poker, there are some who come here to talk about many different things, politics being one of them.

But as I said, the flag decision rests with ownership, and I think said decision is quite personal.
