No one “scared” anyone, and some do come back occasionally. They may not have the interest level in WWII that some here do, or are more interested in some of the narrow sociological aspects then than to the weapons and operations aspects. Or they may have had a specific interest to be addressed, so they aren’t regular posters as such but do post here occasionally.
I am not a troll, im just not smart like you and RS are.
If i went to uni and got a degree like RS, i would be just as smart as you and RS are.
One doesn’t need a uni degree to be smart (or knowledgeable rather, as that what we’re talking here), one just needs a little initiative, interest, and to be willing to do a little reading as I really didn’t learn that much about WWII at university. I doubt Rising Sun* did either. Above all, I think someone needs to have an actual interest in the war that goes beyond watching “Military Blunders” or “Dogfights” on the History Channel. And I’m not sure you even bother…
I think I’ve told you several times, and this had been mirrored by others besides the Mod staff and RS*, that you need to do a little (even online at Wiki) research before starting a thread and provide your own opinions. Otherwise you’re just spamming or creating dupe threads, but then again, that might be the whole purpose of your exercise…
Any way, why would any one put a member as a mod if they been banned from another forum?
May be you should take a hard look at youreself Nickdfreash, to find out why you were banned.
I was a Mod here before I was banned there, sugar. And perhaps that reflects poorly on their forum, not me. In any case, I’m, re-registered there and am allowed to post under a different username on the WWII topics. But that site, while having some very knowledgeable posters, is kind of lame anyways. I also occasionally post at a couple of other WWII sites, such as Otto’s forum, in which I was not banned but feel I’ve modded at two other boards besides this one, so, obviously I have some grasp at what I’m doing. And one of the reasons I think I was modded here was probably very similar to the reason I was banned at the board in question, because I stood up and debated, sometimes heatedly, people that I thought were knowingly and willfully (or just ignorantly) misrepresenting history for their own extremist and apologist aims…
I think stalking around the internet is actually a sign of either mental illness or of troll behaviour, and I’ve seen what some term “internet-weirdos” do it. I know this because I dealt with a lot of it at the Van Halen site I used to mod, including dozens of music industry “insiders” and people who used it as their sole social network rather than as a place to stick to the subject and communicate solely on that basis. And I’m pretty sure, at least to an extent, you’re the one misrepresenting yourself on the web, along with your “42-year old” Canadian teacher friend, not me. And that is the essence of trolling. I know, because I have actually trolled and have been banned for doing it (I’ve actually have been banned from a few boards such as at a U2 board, Sammy Hagar site, and a “Three Doors Down” board) a few years back. So I know very well what you’re doing, and have been far more tolerant of you than the pompous dummy that banned me. I guess the difference is that I sort of consider WWII to be sacred as millions perished in untold misery. And I also think a good troll involves wit and comic timing not, not just attention getting and stupidity. Something that is sorely lacking here…
Maybe you should tell us how you know all this anyways? I mean, that would be a good deal of research or prior knowledge on your part.
But, I kind of have a theory that involves you and Herman. That theory being that you’re a couple of kids (mid-teens probably) that know each other from another site, and decided to troll here in tandem. You probably IM each other too, since you’re always in each others’ wakes…And that we’re undergoing a resulting “mass-troll.” Only, it seems your idea of trolling is spelling words wrong and being what we used to call an “attention whore.” It’s kind of boring and it’s really getting old.
