Don't have any proof, but I'm beginning to suspect IKE is a "Steakhouse Moron". He started out asking what seemed to be a straightforward question, but has since lead all discussion towards conflict and name-calling. Sounds like a "moron" to me....

While I have no real proof..., I'm beginning to suspect that IKE is a "Steakhouse Moron". He began with an innocent enough inquiry, but has since turned the post into an endless stream of antagonism and name-calling. That sounds very much like the typical "moron" effort.

OK , thanks. That leads to a new question...Instead of "what does he want?" , the question now becomes "what do they want?" What exactly are "they" looking for? I know the moderator of that esteemed organization seems to be on a recruiting drive. But the rest? Damned if I can figure it out!


I'm glad to hear it. But the question was rhetorical. I'm not really paranoid. But I am curious why people bait other people on this site. And no one answers me. I've offered to talk to people one on one ,via e-mail , hell , I'll give them my phone number or meet them over a beer. No one answers. And that included the folks at the steakhouse. Doggie kindly invited me to join , but that still doesn't answer WHY? Surely there are more and easire ways to succeed at this. And if you want a good old fashion pissing contest , you guys at the steak house are both good at it and relish a good fight. You'd be better at it , with less restraints. So what is it that makes baiting the people on this forum such an attraction? That's the kind of question that makes consider chucking history as a career and taking up psychology. What's the real scoop Mac? You swim in both ponds--e-mail me the answer , would you?

Aw Gee, Steve, did we start yet another fight? Kindly show us the post in this thread that provoked your poor innocent trolls into engaging in yet another MCS bashing spree?

So you believe the "fruit of Tojo's Loins," the guy who thinks the Japanese were the poor innocent victims of American Imperialism, is actually me undercover?[8|] Are you on drugs, Steve?

This is yet another example of you not knowing where your problem is, and who is responsible for it. It's blatently obvious to me that this latest round of MCS bashing is entirely unprovoked, as none of our "morons" said so much as A goddamned word while all this "polite conversation" was going on. How about you get your head out of your ass and figure out who's starting all these "pissing contests" you claim to abhor, yet are always participating in?

I'm sick to death of hearing you whine and complain about how our guys are ruining the "decorum" here when it's YOU and your pals that are just won't quit slinging all the "monkey poo" you claim you're too sophisticated to engage in.

So how about you set the example and STFU? If you got a problem with me or my "morons" you know perfectly well where you can bring it. How about you and your trolls stop hiding behind Joe's skirts and squealing like little girls when ever somebody interupts your libel by responding to it?

I"ve told y'all a dozen times; don't start nothing and there won't be nothing. It's just that simple.



Well certainly glad to see that the doglette has recovered from his last lashing by us ... but he still needs some work on his logic ... not regarding "ike" ... where "we" seem to be confused .. calling IKE a SHM .. which seem to be counter indicated ... but the doglette does need some work regarding who "starts" things. But if the doglette or his minions would care to discuss their strategies or tactics for playing UV or WITP or WPO then we might feel that their intrusions were more welcome.

Big B-

Sicily - 1943

Sgt Dorman USA poses next to an Italian WWI memorial.
Brolo, Sicily, Italy 14 Aug 1943

It's a small point - but outside of the Airborne, the Infantry (and Marines) wore leggings for the entire war.
The exceptions were troops in Italy in 1944, and after D-Day - double-buckle boots were being seen on troops in Europe in increasing numbers (but always the exception rather than the rule). Sateens' were seen in Northern Europe as well by late '44-'45.

The key tip-off to the time and place of this photo is the fact that the soldier is wearing no camo net on his helmet, his boots are 'rough-outs' with leggings (North Africa saw troops wearing polished boots with leggings), and he's wearing H.B.T.s'. That is the combo that screams Sicily.

Hey, yeah that´s exactly correct! There might be some hope for ¨We won´t stop shooting yet.¨ [:)]
Doggie- So you believe the "fruit of Tojo's Loins," the guy who thinks the Japanese were the poor innocent victims of American Imperialism, is actually me undercover? Are you on drugs, Steve?

Well I can certainly vouch for you here doggie. I am not you. Nor have I ever been a member of the ¨Steak house club¨ And from what I read about it here I really think I, or anyone here would want to be. Something tells me the mainstream viewpoint expressed there would not go over well here. [:-]
bobogoboom- He is not a steakhouse guy all the steak house guys crucified him during the argentina v uk falklands debate.


Ohh, I don´t know bobogoboom. I thought I did pretty good there. IIRC there were at least some Brits who agreed with me on a few key points. I certainly remember one saying it was a very silly and expensive position for British to maintain.

But bobogoboom, if you want to see a real crucifiction. Watch this video of Carol Thatcher arriving in Argentina last year on CQC. I understand this was for a British documentary about the war. Something tells me this didn´t make it into the documentary or on the British news. It starts in Spanish but the reporter switches to English. I think you´ll get the idea pretty well.

What exactly does that prove Ike? Carol Thatcher is a twat. She's probably more despised here then she is in Argentina. The woman makes a fool of herself every time she steps out in public.

[:)] We need to have Swift find us one .He's definately the smiley king! [:D]


It seems everyone is looking for a good "sarcasm smiley" - various ones used don't really convey sarcasm very well. i've always thought the tongue-sticking out [:'(] denoted mild teasing.

Some forums use the "eye-rolling" smiley, some use an "eye-rolling" smiley with a stupid smile. No one is very happy with these, it seems... i've found this one that seems to convey the message pretty well, though:

This goes to prove that you've never been to MCSH. We have very indepth threads about Matrix and other games in our Arcade forum. A lot of our members are frequent contributors to gaming strategy on this and CC based game forums. Hell we have a former employee of Matrix as a moderator.

Doggie do you ever READ anything before you shoot your mouth off?


Yeah, I read threads with innocuous sounding titles about the War in the Pacific, but by the time i get to page three they're all about what a sorry son of a bitch I am. It's getting rather tiresome.

Maybe you clowns should take up a hobby, like a computer game or something. Your current passtime of always obsessing about me and what's going on in the MCS is going to end up embarrassing and humiliating you.


[8|] Every time I try to be conciliatory and hold out the hand of friend ship you spit on it.

"Order, Gentlemen, order! We are far too genteel and sophisticated to lower ourselves to the level of those low life scumbags that frquent that lowly hovel on the wrong side of the tracks. Let us all remember that we are better than them, especially that mangy cur with his name over the door"

You call that a hand of friendship? [8|] You go to hell.

If you want to talk this out , you have my e-mail.

Meanwhile, you'll keep yanking my chain right here every day, and then whining and crying about how you're a "peace maker" when I respond to it. Go to hell.

What about it Doggie? I though you were an NCO? NCO's don't start problems, they solve them. Have you got the guts to work with me to end this constant bickering? Or are just another pissing contest junkie? Balls in your court.


I am working with you. I'm showing you just how full of shit you are. You want me off your ass, then STFU about me and my forum. That should pretty much solve the problem.
