your post looks more like a genuine contribution to the childishness or just something to add to your title.
Well, the short version of it is:
The Red Cross symbol is protected - as it should be. It stands for something far more important than grabbing 10 health points in a game. Game companies should never have used it in the first place but the Red Cross should have been on it more quickly too. As a principle, games using something else to denote health is already established and trivial for them to keep doing so. The same cannot, and should not, be said for changing the status of the red cross symbol.
I don't think that's particularly childish. People throwing their teddy out of the pram and getting all stroppy for no real reason just because an already protected symbol is now having its special status enforced (in a situation where it isn't an important symbol anyway) is childish IMO. It's too late for the original Doom, Duke, Quake, whatever and no one will care about a mod for those games either. New games, however, can and should abide by the rules and the re-released Doom is nothing but a novel quirk of the situation.
So we're all arguing over something irrelevant anyway. :P
