I'm asking that we remove the comedy/tragedy icon from within the summary section. As a serious disease, which affects real people, it the subject shouldn't be reduced to a cartoon symbol. Similarly, readers looking for information to may have a diminished opinion of the content when presented with symbolism instead of professional facts, analysis, or history.
