Hello from canada

...AND MY BROTHER WHO PORTRAYS A ARMY GENERALFELDMARSCHALL.



the Mods must be asleep




Jeez, how could I be asleep when this thread was running?

 

I believe this chap is nothing more than a lying troll:

"my brother and i went to normandy for the 60th
anniversary and we were allowed to monitor the action in our uniforms with the german units there. i hope to have some idea by the end of spring.."

As a few other re-enactors on here will testify German re-enactors are banned from Normandy. German vehicle markings are not welcome, and I personally would loved to have seen you swanning around on the 65th as I assure you that you would not have felt welcome.

What 'action' did you monitor? What's the Bundeswehr crashing across with Leopards near Maltot? The Bundeswehr would NEVER allow SS re-enactors to be photographed in Normandy, or most likely even Wehrmacht. Its easy as an outside to say "attitudes will change" but memories of occupation take decades to slowly slide.

Indeed I have a picture of an SS re-enactor standing next to Theodore Roosevelt Jr's grave, certainly one of the most despicable and naive things I've ever seen.

So I put it to you that you are actually a liar, and congratulate you on getting lit up like Wittman did.

 

you know pal.. my ol' man fought with the HLI of galt and i am very proud of him and i don't do this to pi@s him and the regiment off. i do it to show who and what our country fought against and to teach the younger generation that part of history. but your small minds think i am out to ridicule what our boys went thru .
remember you idiots had a british free corps.

If your father is still alive I bet he's really proud of you . Naah!

 

Mods asleep?

Sometimes it's just a good idea to have a reminder like this, (nothing in comparison to the really sinister lunatics who inhabit the shadiest corners of the internet etc), to stop us getting a little too complacent. What better way to encourage the contribution of opinions, than to let this run openly, rather than eg posting some half-baked news article. I'd rather be given the opportunity to air my views than have it taken away time and again by an overly interfering mod team. A forum after all, is founded on exchange and discussion: now we all know the depth of feeling, statements have been countered, and they're up on the 'net - again!

Spot on

Admin and Mods are always very aware.Notice how the spam types are removed post haste.Plus fairness before the internet ghosts are dealt with.

We have given our views/advice to this latest person.We requested further thoughts based on our comments from this person.They were not responded too with any clarity or thought from this person.



regards
Clive.

NO one is against free and honest discussion as being the root of all forums from the inception of the Greco/Roman time - and while it is true as Clive states that in the past the MODS have been rapid in the removal of spammers - odd balls- and even WW2 vets with a different opinion to themselves - all I am asking is that WHY are they allowing the LIARS as pointed out by Swiper - to ignore all other members comments - while we can do nothing to save the children of that area of Ontario from their nonsense - we can surely object to their nonsense being spread abroad......NO ..?

OR - is the Forum changing ...?

Cheers

 

Hello Tom

I think the few basics on our forum.

We give everyone a free rein on their thoughts/knowledge within sensible reason.(No banned subjects as per forum rules)
We all have different backgrounds and thoughts.
We give all members a platform to explain how it is or not as the case maybe.

If we scythed down members with immediate effect we would be an echo.

This person was spotted tracked and dealt with accordingly.
Possibly miss informed or perhaps a neo nazi we will never know.However based on the response we had from the member assumptions have to be made they were not honourable.

regards
Clive

 

Sooooo....the moderators are at fault for letting someone with apparent pro-nazi leanings make an ass of himself? Then after he accomplished that task, they are again at fault for banning him?

 

I was once told be a member of a very respected living history group that was at West Stow what the difference between reenacting and living history was. Well basically if you were serous about the historical side of things you would be in a living histry group not an reenacting group. So basically the OP is "DOING IT WRONG" to start with before we even get into the dressing up as one of the one ball ones finest.

I'm certainly not aware of mods removing any 'Veteran' other than 'SouthPacificVet' or the very tiresome 'Ranger'.

People ignore comments here all the time, perfectly fine ones in fact, you can lead a horse to water :smile: ... however, the responses on this thread are now for others to read and make up their own minds / reply with their own comments, just as you are doing now. That's the difference. I'd even go so far as to suggest that if this bloke had been banned outright and the thread closed, there might have been a few complaints.

As for the children in Ontario, fraid that's for Ontario to sort out. Perhaps they will find this thread when googling, though what they might think of all the bare backsides I don't know. I certainly wouldn't write them off cos of one SS reenactment group, kids can be just as good at recognising the smell of BS as the rest of us, don't you think? :wink:

Unbelievable.

I hope no forum member goes through what I went through ever again.
That's not my greatest concern.

To answer you Diane, NO. Just what does the smell of SS BS smell like that children will recognise? Oh, never mind, I know. Probably like the stench from the SS death camps they oversaw. After all, it must have gotten into their uniforms.

You wouldn't write off the children of Ontario????? Is that so???? They're somebody elses problem?????? What does this attitude remind you of?? ?? Perhaps 6 million Jews and 7 million others that no one spoke up for?????? Meanwhile your smiley winkey face is not only inappropriate, it's disgusting.

This is where I draw the line. I actually feel sorry for you.

I will not be associated with any forum where a moderator states her indifference to innocent children being indoctrinated into SS thinking.

For those who do care, please take the appropriate actions. Thank you

peaceful

Dbf is not a moderator - Jumping to conclusions again I see <wink wink>

4 minutes too late I see

I am sorry I don't know why others are posting. Don't you get there is no validation to the OP point. Prove what I have said is wrong.


Thread should be killed not deleted. IMOP

Clive - it's very good of you to give me Forum 101 - BUT -it has probably escaped your notice that on my avatar the claim is that I joined this Forum in MAY 2004 whereas you joined - according to your avatar - in 2009 which would indicate that I do know something about the workings of the Forum possibly even more so as you point out- incorrectly that NO subject is banned so try "religion" or "politics".

The fact that you have more postings than I is the fact that I do not make a practice of welcoming every newcomer to the forum - as many do to gain points
Cheers

 

at the risk of being repetative and off topic. It seems to me that ww2 was fought over the same values that some here would curtail. the mods are doing exactly as they should by allowing trolls to infiltrate the forum so that they may be exposed for the evil they have some how twisted into untold truths.
Yes that is the Mods role and believe it or not one of the reasons the free world stood up to the Nazis and went to bed with one of the worlds most evil despots (Stalin). Congrats Mods. For, those who were 'boots' on the ground, (my father was one of you) as always; I bow down to you for your generations sacrifices. As my own sons are the same age as most of you in 1944, I still can not fathum the depth of the terror and fear you had to overcome. Lest we forget.

Peaceful. Wow! In an earlier comment I suggested that if he is indoctrinating students and minors then O Division RCMP might be interested. If you believe that this man has overstepped the mark. It is for the people of Ontario who know the laws and folk like yourself in Canada to check this out. My point was that however obnoxious this is, looking like one, acting like one and talking like one are probably protected by freedom of speech laws. I would hope that Ontario has laws protecting minors from all of this. The ball is in your court.


Some might argue that you tend towards the extreme in your own arguments, if you wish to counter an argument suggesting you feel sorry for someone is hardly the best way of doing so. Your desire not to associate with a forum based on an flawed argument - an odd statement - after you have linked smiley faces with disgust. Think twice write once!

Well said Jeff. I don't think it does any harm to be occasionally reminded that there are some bloody strange people out there (there's nowt as queer as folk). It helps keep us on our toes and the responses from the other forum members are a happy reinforcement of just how reasonable and well-balanced most of our forum members are.
