Is it so hard to understand?
Every time I've seen message from "System: Victory 1 for Koba" my heart starts to bleed when I remember all those Ukrainian ppl who died in hunger because of Stalin (Also known as Koba but you already knew that).

Same goes with Jihad:
I always remember those Israeli soldiers wounds and bruises when members of Jihad (Organization in this case) throw them with stones in Ghaza.

You hurt my feelings by using names like those ones you.. you.. you.. REPUBLICANS !

Not joking anymore:

Sorry but I just can't take posts like that serious. As you can see some people in here are also using nick-names someone could think offensive thought I could not care less. After all these are just games, Nothing more and nothing less.
If I see people marching in the streets with flag with swastika in it I would become worried but if some underaged kid wants to create some polemic in the game or in the BB by using names like jewkilla (Is that even in a dictionary?) or DerFuhrer or something with similar (bad-)taste why should I bother to flame him?
He's propably not worth of time spent to do it.

So "Koba", Are you gonna dump that name or are you still going to use name Stalin was also known?
Because I really see it hypocritical if someone who is using nick-name which Stalin was known is concerned about some other players nicks.

Uhm, there's a very well defined line between being intentionally insulting/offending and then there's Jihad and Koba... both are reasonable titles to call yourself or your online persona... "JewKilla"? "DerFuhrer"? Lets push this envelope as far as we can "N*ggerHater"... I'll stop there.

You are simply being rediculous Staga, thinking that because one names himself after a Holy War, or one of the many things Dowding listed for Koba, you think that JewKilla is just as acceptable?

Your thinking is bassackwards, if I need to detail it for you, then I sincerely hope that you go out on the streets and yell out a string of vulgarities including "I'm going to kill all Jews, Blacks, Indians, and Spaniards!"

Enjoy the beating you receive, and tell me that "JewKilla" is an acceptable name.

You  called Dowding a REPUBLICAN!??  Now, that's offensive  

[StSanta]

Mietla it is, the question is. offensive to him, you or both?  

[DmdNexus]

And we care about this issue... why?

Ok we'll lets do something about it!

It's time the X-genners stand up for something and either put up or shut up.

Let's march on to Washington and demand an audience with the Supreme Court?

Yah that's the ticket!

Heh, you guys think the boards are bad. Wait til you see inside, I was playing german a couple of times and saw a few 'politically incorrect' statements flying, along the lines of killing jews, cupcake remarks etc.

Sad really, not CRSs fault though.

Getting back to Dowdings original post. If CRS own the BBS, they can ban him. End of story.

[fscott]

Agree. If someone comes to my store and badmouths it to every customer as they walk in the door, he's getting kicked out and then a protection order put on his arse.

You can't expect to go to someone else's board and bash the game over and over and over again.  It becomes non-constructive at that point.

That's because of your background
for me it just refer to http://www.koba.fr
You see the difference ? we don't allways understand things the same way .

[Staga]

You guys saw post where someone found usenet post from DesertFox where he asked certain people to join him in his journey in WWIIOL.
(Lets think he was real)

Which one do you see bigger threat:

Underaged kids who took offensive names
-or-
Full-Time Nazi named Johnny or KKK-Member named Mr.A. you've been chatting last year without knowing his political/ideological orientation?

We have one nazi-clown here in Finland who calls himself as a "Leader of
KDP/ NDP/ NSDAP
in Finland" and likes to wear WW2 military clothes.
IMHO he is smaller threat(You can be sure cops are watching his movements) than Mr.A who is doing his work in the "shadows".

Think about it.

I was obviously being sarcastic and by  doing that I was trying to show the level of absurdity of this topic.

The point is, all labels are relative. What is offensive to one guy, can be perceived as a complement by another.

From his previous posts, I know Dowding is a socialist, and proud of it. I am a libertarian and therefore a staunch anti-socialist and proud of it. Nothing wrong with that, we competely disagree, but I still like the guy (platonicaly of course).

BTW, I saw him fly off the handle on a topic of race a couple of times, so I'm not sure how he'll take the REPUBLICAN label. He is a brit, but still...
REPUBLICAN = starve the elderly
REPUBLICAN = "can I have more salmonella on my burger please"
REPUBLICAN = we demand an arsenic in a drinking water
REPUBLICAN = no BJ's in the Oval Office  

Mind the   Dowding!!!

It is just plain amusing to watch this silly PC brigade trying to enforce the speach code.

jewkilla    -- can't have that
hitlerkilla -- that one is definitely OK
bugkilla    -- not sure, what do you think Commerade?
jookilla    -- ???
jwkilla     -- ???
geekilla    -- ???
gkilla      -- ???
jewquilla   -- ???

How absurd and silly can you get?

It is perfectly legal to make an idiot of yourself. If you want to call yourself xxxkilla, be my guest. It colors my opinion of you, but hey, who cares?

But then again, this is a privately owned BB, so whoever owns it sets the rules. Ammendment I takes a hike her.

private thats it, if you don't accept theyr rules, cya.
It's so simple.

[Fishu]

I have said time and time again, if you dont like my posts, you dont have to read them. Simple as that.[/b]

I'd say people should rather use common sense and be from posting crap instead (how many times they've told the same song already about toejamty game etc.?)..
Im just tired of all the BS I see in WWII OL forums, can't find any threads with a sense when 9 out of 10 are squeaking complaining blahblah.

well, this just assuming that posts have been that same blahblah crap like "most" of the posts in style "I hate this crappy buggy toejam" * 100 by same person. (without having any point of sense in the message)

Free speech is a good thing, but sometimes people gets too much into it.
Free speech should be used with consideration, not just to put up some toejam over and over again.

[AKSWulfe]

I'm not being PC in any way, shape or form.. what I am being is getting offended because millions of Americans, Russians, Britains, Australians, French and many more died to stop this kind of crap.

If you are going to play a game about WW2, atleast honor those that had fallen 60 years ago so you can walk in freedom today.
