because regardless of its other origins the swastika has come to represent, especially in the mindset of the west a particularly heinous event in the history of mankind. because for many people the swastika is forever marred by the history of the genocide that happened in germany, and LW, in the spirit of support, chooses not to honor something that has been used for such nefarious means
the topics no longer exist in large part, because of the bug, but know that it was serious debate, and there was at least one moderator who resigned over it. 
No freedom of speech? What about the Jewish star - that is allowed to be shown. So is the Cross of Christianity, BOTH of which have advocated killing at one time or another. The thing is - many people don't believe in the mass murder of 6million people, therefore their support of the symbol wouldn't be advocating "Genocide" if that's ALL you think it stood for.
The jewish star and cross of christianity are religious symbols used throughout the western world.
They are also not used to represent political parties encouraging mass murder in the common era.

You can go on as long as you want - the Swastika will NOT be allowed in avatars here.

I'm still asking for a reason - so far the "reasons" can be applied for many avatars that are used. I think I've seen Bolshevik avatars - what about THEIR genocides? Only dead Jews count?

The reason is that David decided he didn't want them being used as avatars. That's the reason.

I'm not even supportive of this policy. Take it up with admin. if you want to be pedantic.

Alright, but I believe you said that someone LEFT LiveWire because of that debate... Why?

It was a few years ago now so I'm a bit hazy on the details.
