I think that you should either:
a) give him props for expressing his opinion, even if you don't like the way he did it because that takes guts, or
b) ask him to replace the flag and otherwise ignore it, if he's really just looking for attention.
I strongly feel that the flag is just a *symbol* of what makes our country what it is -- which is a country based upon certain values, one of the most important being freedom of expression. He's trying to shock you, but you and the rest of the members have the power to refuse to be shocked. Okay, so he stomped on the flag and some of you didn't like that. Is he still your brother and do you still care about him as such? If yes, let it go.
