Bugs: Recent Topics Paging, Uploading Images & Preview (11 Dec 2020)
Recent Topics paging, uploading images and preview bugs require a patch which has not yet been released.
I officially belong here now - Ban from BGG
It's this one: boardgamegeek.com/article/4826375#4826375 These are revisionist or more extreme websites. The guy posting these links was one of several people propagating the "Germany's Russian invasion was an act of self-defence" myth. Admittedly I threw them all together in one pot in my response.wice wrote: I tried to find his nazi and anti-semitic posts you mention, but no success. In some comment he even writes "I agree that glorifying nazism is an insult to the victims of nazism.". Are you sure it was him? All I see is that he reacted to your post, misinterpreting it as an attempt to white-washing the Soviet war-crimes. You started to clarify it, saying that just because you are anti-nazi, it doesn't mean you are a communist. Then, you snapped, in the very same comment. Maybe you could have waited for an answer?
EDIT: Your first comment was a reply to "Filippo Chiari", the second was to "piotrveliki". Is it possible you didn't realize you were answering to two different users?

Huh?wice wrote: Y'all keep using that word ("passive-aggressive"); I don't think it means what you think it means.
Much of what is posted at BGG is the very definition of passive-aggressive behavior. I'd suggest you take a few moments to look up that definition before talking out of your ass again.

I'm not sure I understand what your example is meant to say (I'm a Hungarian, maybe it's a language thing, lol), I guess the latter could be perfectly innocent in some situations (e.g. when said Polish user is stubbornly arguing about the usage of an English word and he's obviously wrong) and completely asshole-ish in another (although I cannot think of a case, where "perhaps it's a language thing" would make sense if the commenter wanted to imply that the other person is stupid).
My point was that it's perfectly acceptable to insult someone provided it's not direct. It was painfully clear. Exchange "Polish" with "Black" or "Chinese" or WHATEVER and it's the same. I used Polish because the stereotype that all Polish are stupid (which is clearly untrue; look at Henryk Sienkiewicz, or my personal favorite, Karol Wojtyla) and it illustrated how you can call someone a fucking moron Polock and get banned but say it nicely and not get banned.
I don't see any trace of aggression in that comment. It was a fucking joke.
We can agree there. I think Stormy over-reacted (and I really didn't even get the joke) but it's clear that this was a boiling point thing. Steve is normally not an over-reactive dude and for him to rake the douche over the coals means he really had it coming.

You're not allowed to be direct and blatantly say it all in one post.
Remember, TOSsers prefer slow torture.

Pretty sure THAT sort of behavior would have me banned forever in like 10 seconds! I guess you just go to boring parties?
