This name is obviously someone trying to prove a point or to get a rise out of someone. Probably because of the fuss over SSWaffen. Well, last night Voss asked him a few questions(while everyone was treating waffen like dirt) and he seemed to be a nice guy. He said he couldn't change his name(didn't know how) and that it didn't matter because he wasn't renewing after his 2 free weeks anyway. Obviously, he seemed nice enough to change his name if someone had asked him nicely and explained why. But after the way he was treated, I don't blame him for not renewing(although he said it was because he would be too busy) his account. I'm not sure what is more offensive, his name, or the way he was treated. I think the latter would cause more lost revenue to HTC than anything else.

It sounds like the way he was treated was a result of the name he chose.  With over 400 in the MA, I don't think that it is unreasonable to find that more than a couple of peeps would be unhappy with his handle choice.

If the games merit hold true, he'll be back, with money, and a new name.

Ahoi .

I asked him some days before if he would change his handle because people are offended by his name.
After some explanations he said that he would change it because he had no idea that he would offend people by that name.

The night you mentioned sixpence, i saw him again + asked him politely why he hasn't changed his handle yet as anounced before.

' No need to do so' he replied 'it's just a game'.

My answer was: ' Then your'e a dweeb to me from now on' and that he is. Punt!

Regards Blitz

The point, mickey, is to act in a responsible way. If you start name calling and pointing fingers at the "witch", you have lowered yourself below the point of calling yourself SSwaffen.It doesn't take much to have a rational conversation with the guy.If he then doesn't understand how the name can offend certain people, then it it is up to HTC to act.Not the witch hunters.

people shouldent have gotten down on the guy for his name anyway. if people actually talked to him instead of labelling him on his name he would be fine


anyone that got down on him owes htc money for chasing away a potential customer

Oh stop it.

Either this guy is a moron, or a child.

Someone who selects the name "Flynazi" or "SSWaffen" is looking for a reaction, and knows exactly what they are doing.

In my opinion, they deserve to be treated the way they were. Good riddance, I say. We don't need the $14.95 from someone that A)Insensitive, B)Immature or C)Ignorant.

Don't worry, though. I'm sure there will be another pre-pubescent attention starved child along anytime with the handle "JewKilla".

And I'm sure he'll be a wonderful person too. :rolleyes:

Well, Voss had a good conversation with the guy. Ask him what he thinks of the guy.

BTW, HTC takes $15 a month from name callers too;)

It seems to me that he labeled himself.

Sixpence, I wasn't there when it happened so I do not know what type of virtual verbal beating this person endured.  But it seems to me that he should have seen it coming.  I certainly would not be courteous to a user named "pedophile" or "IHateFDNY", even if that user meant it as some sort of joke.

Though I'm no psychologist, I studied it quite furiously in the 80's (Had a psycho girlfriend, I was desperate! :D)  What Muckmaw says is most likely the behavior we were witnessing.

Please ... from what I have read in other posts, Voss has issues of his own, and from what I have gathered, Voss's opinion on this matter would mean nothing. If you think about, and look at the general concensus on the matter ... nobody's word will undue this guys choice of a handle.

I think you make my point more than I do.(it's not about the handle)

I think some of you guys are wound waaaay too tight.

This is ridiculous....many spout profanity in the buffer and on vox, yet very few take issue with this, sighting first ammendment rights, blah blah blah.

A new player comes into our midst, probably choosing a handle which he thinks is cool because he likes German aircraft....yes, it could be that simple. He logs on to the game to find self-rightous, attitude toting players all over his arse.

Personally, I would think you guys were nuts if you talked to me about my handle actually being offensive to you.

What's the difference between using an historically accurate term for a handle and the historically accurate squad names which killed folks as well?

Oh well.....now you'll tell me how wrong I am, so be who you are and I'll try and ignore you from now on.:)

Sixpence-

I will accept being labeled a "Name Caller" any day over labeling myself a Goose-stepping Fascist Neo-Nazi Wannabe.

Damn, I did it again.

I guess I am a name caller!:D
