To me, the suggestion to change your sig sounds a lot like "gee, maybe 
you should shave off that beard, because you know after 9/11 people with 
beards and mustaches look suspicious to a lot of people." Not sure if 
that's a clear analogy, but all I'm trying to say is that there's a line 
between trying to live comfortably in society without upsetting people, 
and self-censoring yourself to avoid ruffling anybody's feathers. And I 
think there are times when you just have to ruffle those feathers.
