well a confused fella....he is in love with both the main totalitarian houses of the war, which is understandable given what went down....some day I will have to take a better plumb of the nations who managed to be on all sides of the conflict all at once....

Terminus routinely insults other posters, orders them to shut up, demands threads be locked AFTER he has laid a pile of crap in it ( obviously hoping no replies can get in before he gets it closed) Resorts to personal insults as his opening post in a lot of threads, almost never has any FACTS to back up any of his opinions and tries to pretend he somehow has a say in who can and can not post at Matrix.

As for insults Rune is at the bottom of the list in regards those compared to several people here calling him names. He routinely uses logic and more importantly FACTS, backed up by more than one source.

There are 2 posters in this last 2 pages that are a problem for other posters and it isnt Rune nor is it Sven.

Terminus WANTS the thread locked so he continues to freely defy the moderators and Admins. All in the hopes he gets what he wants. And two others have followed suit by creating from whole cloth an arguement that has no basis in fact. Accuseing Rune of ANYTHING and ignoring Terminus is perfect proof of the standard certain people have. Terminus is free to bad mouth, name call, insult and tell people to "blank" off and his two supporters are busy complaining that someone had the AUDACITY to reply.

If you REALLY want to be taken seriously I suggest you not be so openly onesided.

As for Rune and Sven, umm how long have you three been posting again? I suggest that those two have been here a LOT longer than you three. Claiming they just showed up is a hoot, or that they are not welcome is a laugh.

And spices the above up with insults. Then stirs it together until even he does not know where the whole thing started.

I cant tell you enough times that respecting the other even in a heated discussion brings rich dividents. Not respecting equals arrogance and arrogance means defeat.

"If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle."

Quite the contrary I am fairly certain Rune and I are both aware where "it started" and am also quite certain that neither Rune nor I initiated the level of bile and hostility leveled at us. Seems having a different set of criteria for "best" means he, I, and others are 'idiots".

Mater Yoda is it more arrogant to make your points using logic, cites, and history or just yelling "best EVAH BEST EVAH!" as though that is in itself a rebutt...?

You'll notice that "evah" doesn't have an answer as to what happened in the Arab-Israeli war?

I'll have to go grab a few fortune cookies and a dimestore faux Feng-Shui book to put the above in context. I am certain you feel that you and Terminus are fufilling that imitation Jedi pap, I am betting some others are having quite the bout of titters over your view.

Well it is 3.50 AM here and I am lazy to dig up your 'We can be arrogant we have a scoreboard message' but this does not fit into what you imply above along with rune's first comment to my post starting with you are a nazi. You get back -bile and stuff- what you, Doggie and co started spitting. As of best the thread is called favorite.
IMHO if a weapon system makes the enemy scared beyond rational it is THE BEST since it has achived its purpose without even appearing on the battlefield see tank shock in WWI.

No it is arrogant to state I can be arrogant, and attacking someone in person (Go and cleanse some serbs). "Funnier tho later admitting he does not really have a clue whta was it all about.

I can be more direct and see I can post an opposing opinion without insulting your country (altough according to Doggie stating the the US is not No 1 in all areas is an INSULT in itself).

So just like my signature says if you dont respect your enemy you cannot really conquer him.

[Doggie]

Gee, I aint even here for the last fifteen pages or so and Baby Bear still can't get over me.[8D]

[Ursa MAior]

No I cant Puppy. You are the simplest thinking man I have ever met in my whole life so you stand out as the worst imaginable experience. Even in other sites' forums I mention you as how NOT to defend something. While even mdiehl has his merits by researching to support -even his very biased view-, you simply """"argue"""" with insults and hatred.

You know criticism does not equal hatred. Are you critical sometimes towards your children or family members or friends or colleagues or partners etc.? Or do you love them with a whatever you do you are my baby even if you burn the house on me type of monkey love?

Well, I'm confused. You critisize Doggie because he has no facts, yet you refute Sven, Rune, and mdiehl's factual arguments by emotional arguments, ie "the enemy had an irrational fear of such and such a weapon system so it is therefore the best."

Having said that, I do agree with your opinion that the panther was not a technilogical dead end but I also agree with Sven's view that it could only occur in some fantasy (nightmare) universe in which the Nazi's somehow won the war.

Could be my bad english. It was my mistake to mix the weapons in.
What I wanted to say that Rune, mdiehl and co, mix their arguments with insults while Doggie does not even bother with arguments. Hope that clears.

Sven's view that it could only occur in some fantasy (nightmare) universe in which the Nazi's somehow won the war.

Dear Gawd! Where did I even hinted that I was NOT happy with the fall of the nazis?

1. Nazism is an extremism as comunism and I HATE both.
2. Hitler hated the hungarians, so it could have been EVEN worse for us than communism. Not that it could have been SIGNIFICANTLY worse, but human evil is limitless.

Dear sirs, madams,

I thought this thread was about "your favorite WWII tank".

Now it has turned into a stupid argument with no value!!

Why?[&:]

Lack of knowledge of WWII armored warfare????[&:][;)]

Practice what you preach then.....

When one openly derides only one side of a heated arguement as being the worst ev er and completely gives a pass to the instigator and other side, I have no choice but to call into question the claim and the logic of the arguement. There are two people in this thread that have through out spewed vile and personal insults AND then claimed each other as the agrieved party.

The very idea that Rune and Sven are worse than Terminus is ludicrouis on its face. Terminus STARTS his postings in threads demanding people shut up, go away, quit posting and/or calling them names and using personal insults. His entire "logic" is that if he tries hard enough he can get a thread locked by being the bigges "ass" in the thread. It is simply amazeing how Terminus gets a pass while any response of those attacked is then labeled as the "problem" poster.

He is on the developing team of a few of the games here. That might explain it [;)]
