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?

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.

LOL — I just got two days for some totally offhand comment. Oh, the irony!

This all sounds very much like: I was banned for two days from banging my dick between the door and the door post.

Didn't you once ban yourself from this site over a fight with Barnes?

Huh?

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.

Word. Thanks for having my back, Pete. This thread kinda spiraled out of control a bit. Yes, I broke the rules. Yes, I deserved it. It's just fucked up that someone can be a dick consistently and I call him on something small and I get the ban. Whatevs, I'm over it.

You're allowed to passively needle someone constantly in an underhanded indirect manner.
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?
