kranz, Subsim will let you have your say, will let you voice your opinion, within a pretty wide set of limits. If you begin to think that you can settle world affairs by attacking other members here, then you need to stop and re-think.

Just do what I do and blame everything on that harlot, Jodie Foster.:O::yep:

When Germans suck,
and Russians suck too.
Do what I do
and love a Finn true.

Not at all. What I am suggesting is that societies do not shake memories of the past as easily and quickly as some here would have it and that some understanding of that is in order.

And let's not forget, if you dig far enough, things are not entirely clean on any side of history. Poland - like any other country - has plenty of skeletons in its closet. I'm not suggesting digging any of them up, of course, because that's shallow and petty. Just like attacking someone who offers a perspective that disagrees with yours, but has always been able to rationally discuss it, concede points, look for evidence, and otherwise behave as an exemplary forum member, is shallow and petty.

So you think what I wrote was an attack? Since when is a willingness to understand someone elses point of view an attack?

Likewise, I can't claim to speak for a nation or group in particular, but it strikes me as rather vapid to constantly get on the soapbox and proclaim victimhood for the sake of shutting down everybody else. Who made you the ambassador of all the victims of Russian imperialism and what are things going to look like if every one of us decides to randomly become the victimhood ambassador of their persecuted group?

Hyperbole much CCIP? Are you trying to tell me that we should not be allowed to even sympathize with a (formally) persecuted group? Certainly sounds like it to me. How tired are your arms from stretching my simple statement into such a grandiose statement as that?

Quote:

Being Russian/Ukrainian/German/Finnish in almost equal parts in my heritage, am I, for example, supposed to be in a constant state of demanding apologies from myself to myself? Or maybe we should just shut the forums down before one of our native American members (and I know there's been a few) declares every discussion of US politics to be offensive since it legitimizes the illegal annexation of native lands?

I'm not going to be bullied by you or anyone else CCIP. There's a lot about Kranzes posts that I don't agree with but I'm not going to criticize a Poles wariness of Germans or Russians. FWIW neither would I criticize a Dakota or Apaches wariness of making treaties with the US Federal government either even though it's been many generations since Wounded Knee. If I read your opinion right though you'd say that's shallow and petty right?

Well...I guess we'd better start with the ancient homo sapien transgressions against neanderthals and work on from there. :hmmm:

NOW NOW! let's not generalize and be truly offensive here! It's Cro-Magnon transgressions against shortlegged Homo Sapiens Neanderthalensis so as to not offend our Sino-American(who also nibbled captives), Peking and African homo erectus types inadvertently... the real no-class is making necklaces out of their teeth!:nope:http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/...95_634x585.jpgOL' Kranz is just indulging in some :subsim: parrhesia IMHO. The Socratic form of fearless, plain and unintimidated speech:88) as described in Plato's Apology :smug: line 24A; you probably missed it on your first reading!:oops:

Who ya calling "short-legged?"

Now they make movies about it!

Which is within accepted policy, if done properly. He is also indulging in simple name-calling, which is unquestionably against Subsim policy. Either make a case and prove it, or don't. If it's the latter, don't say anything or be prepared to take the consequences.

I see that this thread was derailed.

Ridicule and derailment are the only way to deal with threads like this. Oberon got it right first time.

We should have knocked over the Mallard in York and use that as an official Subsim ''thread derailed'' image
