Oh , trust me, I haven't insulted you personally

Steve, I can't compete with you by words in the way that might be appropriate here. Its not my mother language. So just one thing - and this time, I don't give a sh.. if this insults you:

If you are the one to decide when others are insulted while you also always decied when you are insulted - you're defenitly not someone I want to associate with.

When one moron talked about 911 I just shook my had and didn't understand, while you where outraged. For me, this was no cause to be insulted, you behaved like you'd like to behead him. When you told me the reason I tried to understand your point of view. I understood and consequently showed my sympathy.

But when its up to you, you don't care. You decide when I'm insulted, you decide when I intend something bad...

Well, you're most likely a fine man and have to be respected, but obviously, I should evade you!

Farewell and just the best for you!

It isn't a question of winning or loosing a war here. It's about what was the direct result of this armistice. I would feel exactly the same if I were french and my family had face the same fate.

Anyway. Thank you again for trying to treat me fair!


celebrating the Armitice is a different kettle of fish i agree. Its expected that a country thats on a winning side would celebrate it. Celebrating it in the country that was on the losing side would be crass....its like pointing a finger at someone and going "Na Na.....we kicked your butts". The Internet being what it is of course.....national boundries get blurred. There's good and bad of course. Recently when Gunther Rall died, it was really cool to see all the condolences and positive thoughts pour in throughout the Internet forums i was visiting at the time.....regardless of country of origin. He was recognized as a gentleman and a warrior. No politics, no BS. It was a nice change of pace.



You're a fine man, Nik!
Thanks for having the possibility to realize that.

If I have one point of critique about the game, it's that it tries to be too much at the same time.

It has three separate campaigns: Atlantic, Pacific and Mediterranean, and you're supposed to control all naval (surface, subsurface and air) ops, as well as production of ships and aircraft, design of ships and research into various applicable technologies, as well as intel.

It has both strategic and tactical turns, which you can set the length of yourself.

Do I dislike it? No. However, it's tried to do too many things, and because of this, it's done none of them really well.

I can understand why you might have thought as you did, hopefully you can understand what it means to us now. Today has never been about the defeat of Germany, although that is linked to the date. Rather it was seen as an appropriate time to pause and think of those who died during the war, especially given the impact that the losses had on the nation.


quote:

ORIGINAL: King George V

Tuesday next, November 11th, is the first anniversary of the armistice which stayed the world-wide carnage of the four preceding years, and marked the victory of right and freedom. I believe that my people in every part of the Empire fervently wish to perpetuate the memory of that great deliverance and of those who laid down their lives to achieve it.

To afford an opportunity for the universal expression of this feeling it is my desire and hope that at the hour when the armistice came into force, the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, there may be for the brief space of two minutes a complete suspension of all our normal activities. During that time, except in the rare cases where this might be impractical, all work, all sound and all locomotion should cease, so that in perfect stillness the thoughts of every one may be concentrated on reverent remembrance of the glorious dead.

I understand. As I said, I'm also sorry about the misunderstanding.
Thankfully, we are all allied nowadays while unfortunately face a new enemy. But at least, these dark age of central european wars are over - and hopefully over forever!

I honor the fallen as well and never intended to dishonor their remembrance.

I kind of figured that from reading it. The ability to represent the Med in large scale though is intriguing, as is the way they have the command structure set up. You can detail specific orders but you can't micromanage as much as in a Grigsby game.

Just looked in on my U23 ogame holdings. I had been on vacation for over three years!!! The Brothers still representing The Thread are all big time now so I think I would be a dead weight if I started playing again, even if I had the time...

Well.....i suppose there would be some who would use Veteran's day to rub defeat and or this or that into the noses of those who were on a losing side of said conflict....but they're idiots. Veteran's day is about honoring those who had the ballz to go and fight for their country....to risk one's precious hide for a cause bigger than themselves. To use a real life example, when i went to Boeing field last and snapped those pics of the B-17 and 24 that visited. I got a chance to talk to two vets who flew them. It gave me an opportunity to tell them how much i respected what they did......being a typical Internet geek historian wannabe who can easily talk authoritively from the safety of my cushy comfy chair in front of a computer. Anyone with a computer and a google search tool can do that. Anyone can play a wargame and play armchair general. Its quite another thing to actually go up in one of those crates and face death every day. It was a humbling experience to be in the presence of such men.....all the more so in that to this day, i've yet to meet one who didn't scoff at such praise.

There was no talk about the defeated, or politics.

I hate to say it but if you want to be bitter about the outcome of WW1 then maybe you should lay the blame closer to home.

And if I were you I wouldn't lay claim to being the only loser from that war, I can identify members of my parents family whose names are on war memorials in small villages (and it doesn't get much more drastic that that).

I'm not blameing anyone. I came in here and felt the armistice was celebrated. That's why I said I'm wondering.

I was then told this is to remember the fallen. I said I appreciate this and that I'm sorry, that I didn't intend to annoy or insult anyone.


When Steve came here to insult me personally, I felt - I know that's stupid - that I might explain why that date is special to me and my family. But obviously that doesn't matter as I've "insulted the memory of fallen" in some eyes here.

Because of that date, my family didn't only loose much what was rightfully ours in this war and the one that followed, we didn't just loose some soldiers in the field, we were also persecuted by the regime that manage to follow by claiming it'll end the "shame" of this date...

So it is a special feeling. I never wanted anyone to participate in it. I also didn't intend to tell the story. My only fault was mistaking this here as a celebration of the reason that cause all mentioned above to my family.

If that's a crime and if it's a crime not to take a big "research" (He also typted that before reading all my postings) when typing a small sentence, if it doesn't matter that I said I'm sorry, that I didn't intend to insult and annoy anyone...

Well, than its the best for us all when I never disturb your harmony again!

Historiker,

I appreciate you explaining your perspective of today's events. Sounds like you've learned a bit about the nature of the observation of this day (observation versus celebration) in other countries and shared some of your very different family impressions of the meaning of this day.

I'm neither insulted or annoyed that you shared your point of view and your apologies for any unintended insults seem genuine and well-intentioned.

Peace.

Oh , trust me, I haven't insulted you personally. I critized the "deed" not the doer. Now I will critized the doer, just so there is no mistake. How many times since you have joined us have you had people suggest that you not stir up political discussion on this forum? One mistake is just that. A number of them constitutes a pattern. Now comes the personal insult part. I suggest that you might be a "Troll" looking to stir up pain, anguish and anger for your own satisfaction. Apologies are all well and good, but fleeting and temporary. You know the rules , customs and procedures here Historiker. Try and follow them. Consistantly.If you unable to do so, then perhaps you should take a time out.

I didn't read all your postings , that's correct (as most hadn't been typed yet). When one is punched in the face , one doesn't wait around to see if it's followed by a smile, and a a "oops, my mistake". Take some time off, and use it to grow up. Insult over.

Steve,

Can we minimize the political fingerpointing and name calling in this thread (scuze...THE THREAD!!!) please?

NO, apparently we can't. I have always tried to do just that , and usually been laughed at for trying to "keep the peace" on the forum as a rule. I for one am tired of being a punching bag. Especially by people who continuously provoke, then try to blame it all on a "launguage Misunderstanding". Once is a misunderstanding. Twice is an unfortuante incident. Four or more times is a habit pattern. This has been more than four times. Even a dog knows the difference between being tripped over and kicked. Well, finally , so do I. Enough. If you have a problem with my postion on this latest "incident" please feel to green button me or report me to the approriate authorities. The sooner they are involved , the better.

I do :)

You just don't give a **** about what others think and feel - otherwise you'd understand. Not to talk about the impudence that you decide who is insulted and who not. Empathy is a foreign word for you, otherwise you'd understand what the 11th November means for Germany - and in fact all of Europe 1939-45... - not even to mention my own family.
The miserable Kraut has dared to insult your feelings and that justifies to get a foamy mouth and to ignore the rest.

How'd you feel when Germany had its "independance day" or something like this on 9/11 and Germans celebrate it here?
I bet my right arm you wouldn't even say sorry! (as I did a dozend times, now)

(not to mention that this comparison is - of course - outraging, right?)

When I was a kid my dad had an English friend visiting us at Thanksgiving time. My sister asked him during the dinner feast, "Do the English celebrate Thanksgiving?" His response: "Yes, on July 4th."

Holidays have different meanings in different countries.... (this is not to say that every Englishman shares his feelings on the matter).

Not seem this before...

Thank you!
As I said, I'd never dishonor the memory of soldiers who did their duty, no matter whether allied or enemy then or nowadays. Said, that the feelings here are so strong - or the expectations of what I might mean - that one doesn't even inquire what was ment.
Sad... Both that the people don't ask and that I seem to have made the impression of being the spawn of evil...

I do :)

You just don't give a **** about what others think and feel - otherwise you'd understand. Not to talk about the impudence that you decide who is insulted and who not. Empathy is a foreign word for you, otherwise you'd understand what the 11th November means for Germany - and in fact all of Europe 1939-45... - not even to mention my own family.
The miserable Kraut has dared to insult your feelings and that justifies to get a foamy mouth and to ignore the rest.

How'd you feel when Germany had its "independance day" or something like this on 9/11 and Germans celebrate it here?
I bet my right arm you wouldn't even say sorry! (as I did a dozend times, now)

(not to mention that this comparison is - of course - outraging, right?)


Armistace day , or veterans day , is not , nor has ever been a cause for Victory parades, or speaches about glory. Quite the opposite. It has been a brief day to recall, and honor the dead. I have never called you a Kraut, nor any other derogatory name. Nor will I. I won't tell you when to be insulted (that would truly be imprudent). Perhaps you would do me the courtesay of the same?

You may say you are sorry as much as you like. It's only sincere appologies that I'm interested in. All that I have said, is that 1) I felt insulted. 2) that I would green-button you and remove you from my facebook list. Why does that trouble you so? All that I have done , is try to remove myself from the conflict, in an adult and proper fashion. Must I accept your "apologies" and comment? Won't you accept that I have with drawn and have no desire to converse with you? Please be so good as to allow me to "green-button" you and go in peace. If you feel so badly that you must continue this matter . please send me an e-mail (you have it) and settle this properly. I stronly suggest that you "green button" me as well. And let us be done with this very distasteful matter.

Somewhat funny, even having greenbuttoned him, I have to unignore him. Just too curious... 

No, I don't have your Email - just looked - but what you've written is in fact the case. You say "how could I ever have insulted you" - while not mentioning that others might think this typing the first posting about that subject themselves... As I said: lack of empathy. What happens to you can't be done to others by yourself...

You may reach me at my login name, at yahoo.com. I'm not aware that I have specifically insulted you till today (when I brought it to your attention). If I have , you've never addressed it, nor PMed me, or emailed me. Nor has anyone else. If anyone out here has any specific problem with me to discuss , they are always welcome. My Real name is on my login.

As I said before, for someone who doesn't care what I think, your spending an awfull amount of time on the subject of my opion. Can't you stand to lose an audience?
