There is no contradiction in the above two statements. You indeed have to be a far-right hardliner NOT to see what the mozilla star and logos mean. Mozilla is concerned with it's own only. The tongue-in-cheek humour is used in textual contexts as well - just do about:mozilla. Religious zealots might react to that - others would realize it's a part of a high spirited internal "propaganda" style humor. I'm right'ish oriented myself but have NO problem what-so-ever with the various Mozilla logos and symbols. It may be a humor that is more easily perceived in the West, but I fail to see why I should even consider the ghosts some excile Nepalese see, whos only contribution to this group or the project has been trolling. He isn't only seeing ghosts at broad dayligh - he's hallusinating. Actually it's *communists* who might have a reason to feel offended by a red star depicting a dinosaur. K.
