You bastard!
I really hope that comment was meant in fun.. because if it was not, then we have a little problem.

I am however saddened a bit that right wing radicals seem to be given in my opinion more latitude to play fast and lose with the rules, but, seeing how it is not my Website, I view that as just the way things are, and the way things will be, and in the end deal with it.

Gator, we try not to bear down too heavy on anyone to keep things interesting. I guarantee you that the Mods and Admin get together on these things and no one gets more of a break than anyone else.

I disagree it has become abundantly clear that threats and insults are perfectly acceptable at both a personal and national level, it is seen as acceptable to ridicule France (or European nation), North Korea, China, Cuba, Iran and there leaders and nothing will be done I can guarantee that if I extend that to the USA or George Bush I will have moderators on my arse so fast my modem will crash.
As I recall the forum rules do still state:
4. Flaming, Name Calling, Country Bashing, Spamming, Hate or Racism related posts are not accepted!
perhaps a change to reflect actual practice may be in order, I suggest:
4. Flaming, Name Calling, Country Bashing, Spamming, Hate or Racism related posts are not acceptable toward the USA all others are fair game.

That's a pretty bold statement.... Especially since the owner of the forum isnt even from the USA...
I would think maybe it is more your attitude and like I said before it is all in the delivery
No but the bulk of his moderators are.
As far as delivery goes on an international forum it is secondary to clarity as many of the people on it do not have English as a first language, hell its hard enough getting people to read and comprehend a post before they jump to a conclusion without having to work on delivery as well.

Hey at least you made an impact Gator. I am lucky to get a response half the time.

That's one example of what I've listed above.True, I was called a Coward in open Forum, http://www.military-quotes.com/forum...e2-t32558.html yet I just sucked it up, did not complain, and moved on.
No threats or insults are acceptable at all, but we don't have a chance to read through every single post in here so we have to rely on you reporting things like that if you see it.
I have personally deleted many insulting posts towards France/China etc. by the way, and I know that all of the other mods have done the same....
The "problem" may be that we have more members that are more aware of (and therefore reports) insults towards the US than for the other contries listed above.
(the majority of our members are from the US)
In part this is where the problem lies many of us prefer not to report things until it reaches a point where it cannot be resolved others seem to take offense at anything and everything this is compounded by in many cases a complete lack of desire comprehend a post before making a reply.
Its the staffs job to help fix those problems.As I did not wish to involve the Staff regarding my personal problem with another Poster, which in my opinion in part goes back to grouping, and what group one finds oneself in while in a given environment, which as I have pointed out is human nature.
