I previously stated that I won't tolerate any rude or offensive behavior, but let me elaborate.
With David & Shaun's support, I will try to maintain standards of conduct that are not restrictive in voicing one's opinions, but unfortunately some folks like to take advantage of this.
I WILL exercise my right to wield "The Hammer of the Mods", if a post is deemed inappropriate, tries to start a flame war, or is just generally obnoxious in tone or content.
If a posting meets this criteria, it may very well be replaced by a message from me saying "Deleted or edited for inappropriate content".
I don't want to resort to this, but don't try to test me just to see how far you can go.

I sure am glad that they have vested this power in someone so calm, reasoned, and deliberate. It worried me to no end that all kinds of tomfoolery would go on unabated. Luckily I can rest a LOT easier now.
Keep up the good work.
regards,
sven

We better scamper back to the AoW stat and let the grown-ups do their "research".

Lucky for you guys he didn't outlaw sarcasm...[:'(]
This does sound very ominous and threatening, KG. I haven't seen the behavior you are describing. Perhaps you can give us an example of what would 'bring down the hammer'?

I was hoping for a bit more of an answer to my question than a smiley with a mallet. Thanks.

Well not all sarcasm is seen equally.
No offense.
By the way, "croissants for the char" WILL be made.....

hey they are at least as realistic as the Kittens in "Paws of the Tiger".....
I mean we just want 'balance' and 'a truer grasp of the WW2 experience".....
MegaCampaign: breakfast at tiffany's is THE future.....
-keke: Is this the reason why we have now Tiger Is with 16-26% more AP PEN than historically, and also with 52% more Accuracy, which is quite questionable.

Sorry, Jeff, this isn't AoW.
It isn't the spwaw forum of any recent sane era either.
Guess the skin got thin lately regarding valid OOB queries....

Once upon a time Steel Panthers created a major rift with two groups. It was unfortunate then, and it would be unfortunate if it happens again.
Come on guys, we need to stop letting our feelings about what is really just a computer program, generate sore feelings amongst people that would rather remain one group of people that are essentially similar to the point of being identical people.
I have not read the great wealth of posts that seem at the core of these feelings that I seem to be seeing at the edges of the scope. But it does appear clear we are having an increasing number of long time forum members stalking off angrily.
I don't see any gain in divisive actions.

I LIKE that my life bothers them,
Why should I be the only one bothered by it eh.
