AN IDIOT (RG LUNATIC) IS ATTACKING THIS FORUM

[Bucksnort101]

Even if you all you say is true (have not been a member long engouh to know what has occured with you and the moderators in the past), why waste your time somewhere you are obviously not wanted? Why not find another Forum to particupate and contribute on. Or better yet, spend your down time in the Rockies starting your own Forum where you can be King and do as you please?

Freebird,

I was orginally banned for calling someone elses argument "horse dun". It was meant to be humorous. The ban (by Adler) had nothing to do with the thread in question, it was just his personal vendetta - before he was a moderator he swore he was going to find a way to have me removed from the board.

At least 40 people have been banned from this board. About half for good reason (trying to sell stuff, posting copyrighted material, foul language), but about half were for not giving into the moderators positions on various issues. They are especially sensitive to any arguments presenting America's justifications for actions not favorable to European nations, or especially the idea that Europe owes any kind of debt to America for WWII or the post-WWII reconstruction.

That's the facts on this board. Didn't used to be this way for the first year I was a member... then it got stolen and ruined.

Like I said, you can always start your own Forum and be Master of your Domain.

I made thousands of posts on this board, and posted huge amounts of primary source material and creating diagrams and analysis of those documents. Because of a personal difference with Adler I was banned. I spoke with Horse and he agreed it was personally motivated and reinstated me. Then it happened again and so I'm kinda pissed.

So why not have a little fun with these jerks?

Running a board requires consistent monitoring. As the owner you are responsible not to let it be used for illegal activities. Also, I'd have to watch the moderators and make sure they operated fairly and did not dominate the board. I don't have time for that.

The thing is I really do like what this board was created to be and what it should be. Perhaps the Moderators/Admins will get a clue and change how they do things. I doubt it but there is always a chance. What possible reason could there be to have over a dozen moderators/admins on a board with less than 50 active posters?

Well, I'm an hour late getting rolling. Got a long drive ahead of me... This is my last post! Really!

I'd say I'll miss you, but I suspect you will be back.

Ridiculous. You were banned for far more than that, and you know it. Your ban was a UNANIMOUS decision by all of the admins and mods of the time. It wasn't a personal vendetta by Adler. We had been more than patient with you and you got worse and worse after several warnings.

Those are the facts as YOU see them through your world. There have been way more than 40 banned here, most for spam and advertising. The ones who have been banned have been justified in more ways than you seem to understand. It has way more to do with etiquette and the way that they treat their fellow members, period.

Again, you need to find another sandbox to play in. If this place is "ruined" as you say, then feel free to go start up your own board. You've more than worn out your welcome.

Chainman, Blackdawn, Monk, Lunatic or whatever you want to hide behind.....

DON'T EVER PM ME AGAIN!!

I hate people like you. So much knowledge but God forbid you should lower yourself and teach someone else. I read your posts and they're filled with self-righteous indignation should someone question what you know. And you reply with putdowns and insults when they do. You're a loser.

I made thousands of posts on this board, and posted huge amounts of primary source material and creating diagrams and analysis of those documents.

My only role beyond that would have been to make sure the moderators do not abuse their positions, I'd have excluded myself from any other official role.

I'm just having a little fun and pointing out the facts to this forum's membership about what this place is really about.

Also, as a thanks for his fairness at the time in the whole matter, I sent him half a gig (compressed) of primary sourced documents related to WWII, mostly concerning aircraft.

When I return from the ME this time (my last trip BTW), I'll deal with this issue in earnest.

It's taken me over six months of rehab to get cleared to return to the field. This was the second time I've been seriously wounded in the last couple of years. Last time I'd had my foot ripped open by a roadside bomb (the driver was killed, the seat ripped off the frame and sliced through my boot).

That's how a board should be run, just look at the other boards on the web for examples...

When I was a member I contributed more actual primary source material than all the Moderators combine!

Those posts just show how you yearn for acceptance and want to be given an Oscar for your superior intellect. I wipe my a** with better quotes that that.

There have been way more than 40 banned here, most for spam and advertising. The ones who have been banned have been justified in more ways than you seem to understand. It has way more to do with etiquette and the way that they treat their fellow members, period.

They've been banned because of tantrums and having no social skills whatsoever. They spouted insults to everybody who DARED object to their superior knowledge. Thats not teaching or learning. Thats selfish ignorance.

And what world do you live in? Do you pay taxes gleefully? Do you buckle up because you feel like it? This whole world is managed by other people other than yourself who set rules and guidelines and punishment if the rules are not followed. What makes you so friggin special? A website that mirrors society pisses you off?

Of over 13500 memberships, only about 300 have posted more than 10 times. Only about 150 have posted more than 50 times. 30 members make 80% of the posts, and the moderators/admins make more than half the posts. Alder by himself makes up about 10% of all posts!

Flyboy simply played games with his post to justify banning me (my Lunatic nick). His post (click here) did not originally include the "and your banned" crap

You did all this work and its just amusing? You need serious help. You show all the signs that are and were exhibited in the personality of the Unabomber. You have a complex that is out of control.

Like I said, don't ever PM me again with your BS. The Mods and Admins KNOW what they are doing, its not up for a vote and if you don't like it, take your millions, your wounded, purple-heart bandaged a** and make your own website.

.... I've made no threats of violence to anyone.

No threat needs to be made. You are a threat unto yourself....to the website, to the country and to humankind at large.

You really do live a lame life if this what you consider fun. You might try getting out some.

Again if you let what goes on in the internet rule your life you are pretty pathetic.

I know you've gotten banned, but I want to get this off my chest. If you don't like how this forum is run, get out and make your own. I have not been around this forum as long as most of the other members, but I enjoy being able to discuss current events and WW2 related paraphenalia with other avaition enthusiats. I feel the admins and moderators are doing a fine job. I will say this once again, if you don't like it here, THEN LEAVE!

I'm glad our membership sees what an idiot this guys is - here's his PM to me...

Flyboy,

I'm not an "operative". That would be an official position. I'd be consider a "consultant" of sorts. I'm not generally on the field of combat, but just being in that part of the ME is perilous.

Your such a patriotic stud - why aren't you in the ME? From your talk it seems you'd want to be there and man you could sure use the dough! LOL

Lunatic - you're an idiot - It wouldn't surprise me if you're flipping burgers somewhere on the east coast. In any event instead of buying this board, why don't you buy a gay internet dating service - more your style...

"ChainMan?" Next time why don't you use the name "Circlejerk." It fits you better!

Promise?

[Milos Sijacki]

I am also new to this forum. I think it works perfectly and that is run by competent and responsible people and I haven't suffered any torment from them. I agree with everyone else, if you don't like it , leave.
