Nothing to do with allied or axis sides, separate issue. Shifty apologized to the axis and many have understood his mistake for what it was, a mistake, not the grand axis agenda you are now desperately trying to deflect your pettiness with. Your inability to accept someone could make a mistake belongs with the kids in the sandbox, not with the grownups who have made their fair share of mistakes and accept responsibility for theirs and understanding that others err as well and do not hold it against them. Shifty could have hid behind the keyboard and said nothing, but he took responsibility, and I am sure he felt a little embarrassed having to do so, but that's what a man does when he makes an error. Grow up and you can move on instead of looking silly trying so poorly to transfer the issue of your immaturity to an entirely new topic where it does not exist. There is no reason to close a thread just because you do not like being the subject of discussion, though I do understand you would like to forget posting your opinion and being held accountable for its lack of tact, maturity, and merit. We are discussing the merits of whether to forgive him his trespass or not. Many have, you appear to be the sole person who is still butthurt over it, so you are hearing how your opinion to hold a grudge is viewed by others. You seem to think that you may speak with impunity and are entitled to have other opinions censured so your feelings aren't hurt. Perhaps it will be locked, but I bet you will not forget the heat you took from it. Who knows, you may even learn from it someday.
Let me just add that this is not even about you, but about Shifty and the other CMs who freely donate a great deal of their personal time, effort, and knowledge to make something fun for all of us to do on Friday nights. Just so you know.
