My OP already says what it means to them lol. The problem I have is with them putting it right next to a Christian/Jewish symbol, because whether they like it or not, their symbol still originally comes from the Christian/Jewish religion as a symbol of evil. So by wanting to put it next to the Ten Commandments, they are knowingly and purposely defiling something that is sacred to a lot of people. Just pick a different spot in the same property.
Actually I believe the history and image of the goat was stolen from the indigenous pagans of Europe. Then to slander the existing pagans so that people would turn against them they made Satan look the same as their fertility god (Herne the hunter for example). I don't believe Lucifier looked like a goat until then.
This was done to the Hindus as well so as to turn folks against the the original faith in that region. I think I can cite Christipher Hitchens on this one.
So really if you look at it in that light then to put the goat by the commandments to me it just seems like the karma that comes from what happened in the past. Very funny to me.
On the other hand I could feel totally offended that the Christians would be upset after what they did to a perfectly good set of pagan people.
