The First Cause? Prime Mover Argument

[JuliaL]

You are a bit too literal-minded then. If a German scientist (an unimportant one, granted) has an avatar alluding to an obvious satire of an irresponsible immoral German scientist, one would usually assume that the person uses it with an ironic self-conscious attitude, and not as an endorsement of the views that are satirized. If I sported an avatar of Wernher von Braun, you would have a point. But then, I wouldn't dare use the image of such an American hero for such worldly purposes.

Please accept my apology for dissing your avatar.  You took me too literally and in opposition to the emoticon I included to indicate I was less than serious in my criticism.
I have used a similar graphic ironically

And given Braun's history of design of randomly aimed, indescriminate terror weaponry Vergeltungswaffe and the cynical cold war realpolitik Operation Paperclip run by the OSS (soon to become the CIA) I'm not too impressed as an American by his hero status.
