*Just a little bit of explanation before you read the quote: the site where it was taken, Nationstates, is also a simulation game where users control nations and use flags as their game avatars. That said, the following quote was witnessed in the Out Of Character Forum of the website*

Once again, I've got a question for you mod folks. I don't want to get into trouble, so I'm gonna ask here.

As you probably know, I've used a blue-white-orange tricolor of apartheid-era South Africa as my flag for years, but last week I changed my flag to show my support for the Ukrainian pro-EU protests. As you probably also know, Mandela just died, and several nations have switched their flags to South African flags to "honor" him.

I personally regard Mandela to be nothing but a terrorist thug, and I was planning to protest the general "Mandela was a hero and a freedom fighter!!" consensus by reverting to my original, apartheid-era blue-white-orange flag.

Now, I would like to know if using the "apartheid" flag be considered to be trolling, considering the latest events? I assume the answer is no, since people are using South African flag right now to make a political statement, but I want to be sure.
