You know you can stop reading his posts, instead of telling him what to post or not post.

Very true but the point is there are rules on what is allowed to be posted on the Matrix forums which his post seemed to conflict: https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/register.asp. I pointed this out so that he would hopefully adjust his post to avoid a controversial topic but its up to the mods to determine whether his post breaks those rules and what action should be taken.

People can always chose to ignore or turn the other way but history has shown us that indifference and inactivity usually doesn't end well. "The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference."

Redrum, I understand your point but too many people are itching to be offended. Elvis was just kidding. I laughed out loud at the image of him licking shopping carts. He has an amazing sense of humor and he obviously was not attempting to start a serious discussion. It's great to be able to laugh when times are terrible.

I read accounts of German foot soldiers on the Eastern Front cracking jokes about terrible conditions. Hardened men would state things like "Heavy rain today" during a murderous bombardment. Sometimes you got to have a sense of humor to survive.


So I mostly agree with you that its better to assume positive intentions and realize my post maybe wasn't specific enough. I have no issue with the comment around "licking shopping carts" and chuckled as well since that is clearly a joke as no one is going to debate that people really believe licking shopping carts is a good idea and its trying to make light of a difficult situation just like your historical reference. The issue is with "No Vax, No Masks ... walking through crowds for several years" which to me didn't come across as a joke and are generally controversial and politically charged topics at least here in the US that people do have very strong opinions on one way or the other which I think are better avoided on a wargames forum and seem conflict with the forum rules.

Well if there was any question on whether your posts were breaking forum rules and inappropriate, I think you've cleared that up and I would think even those that responded supporting your initial post would have a hard time defending that response. I don't think there is anything I can say that will lead to a civil discussion so I'll just leave you a reference to the forum rules and let the mods review your posts: https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/register.asp

FYI, since you seem to have some odd fascination with my username, a quick google search will show you that its a reference to the Stephen King novel and movie, The Shining.

Never seen 'The Shining', never had the desire nor interest. What's that suppose to mean to me? I don't need to walk my mind in the gutter, to know the sewer stinks. Stephen King writes about murder, got it, you're into that. Go for it. That's you. Don't care.

Rules are posted. Start your posse, hire the hangman, build the gallows, call the judge, stuff the jury, call the moderators. Done nothing wrong.

Jailhouse Rock,
-Elvis

Doctor,

Yawn, who are you. Let me get this right. I get sick, and you're offended.

You'll be x2 double offended, once I inform you, I was taken to multiple Chicken Pox parties as a youngster in my Mennonite Church. Wait, there's more, I had the Mumps also, are you x3 triple offended? Ready to be x4 quadruple offended. Take a deep breathe, I had Mononucleosis. What kind of Doctor are you, please consider proscribing yourself some pills.

Henceforth, your name is Doctor Zoloft.

I just had a very bad bout of covid-19 6 weeks ago & I'm still suffering from breathing problems & I'm not offended at all, in fact your humor made me smile.

Status: offline 		Game #133 [LOSS] ElvisJJonesRambo (Axis) vs ThunderLizard (Allies) fun to do Naval & North Africa, but we know that strategy doesn't matter
Game #134 [LOSS] ElvisJJonesRambo (Allies) vs DmitryN (Axis) cookie cutter, yawn
Game #135 [LOSS] ElvisJJonesRambo (Axis) vs eraiod08 (Allies) snow/rain from November 1939 to April 1940. weather is a joke

Lifetime Achievement Record 62-73

Conclusion:

a) might as just play with Reloads and no FOW. Like steroids, cannot compete unless doing. I'll never believe the fake results.
b) cookie cutter is a yawn
c) Pacific like the movie "On Golden Pond", could hear a pin drop, doesn't matter.
d) weather too dominate, (example: the first 6 Axis turns in BOTH China & Western Europe)
e) forums are woke

Yep, that's Larry, aka Colonel Pitts, in the absolute 1970s classic: The Eagle Has Landed. I'll watch this flick (well, at least have it in the background), once year rotation.

However the book was even better.

Same can be said fighting after Rostov fell.
Orel was getting pounded.
Worst was the encirclement of the units on roads to Voronezch. Top notch Nazis had taken a bridgehead turn before (had Fort + AAgun). Bunta Armies took the city with Panzer help, then Paratroops cutoff 3 good units. Dumb, I should have retreated after the Bridgehead existed.

To sum it up, got my ass kicked.
