Throwing without Knowing?

[KDMafia]

The hand signs generally don't bother me but I also don't blame a national organization that doesn't want to high light them or would like to encourage their members to use different ways of identifying themselves.

Hand signals are just what people do. Peace signs, making the heart sign out of hands, pointing, Hook 'em horns, etc.

I actually feel like the best strategy would be either to just wait them out, or figure out a way to redirect the energy into something else, by highlighting other types of pictures.

I remember doing the KD sign when I was in college but at the time we were the only group on our campus, now, all the groups do it and I think it's just become a part of the culture, like spirit jersey's and sunset pictures. It will fade over time.
