Slitherine Forces to Pull Afghanistan game due to "focus on killing"

There are a few Forumites who have rather extreme views and feel a need to express themselves forcefully in what should be a relaxed, non-political environment. But it's only a few. Most of us don't bother calling them out, because we know that there isn't any reasoning with them. It does no good to try - it just feeds their mania. So the balance of the population, through silence, aren't acquiescing or agreeing. They just don't enjoy engaging in futility. It can be especially frustrating for us when people we respect begun to lump us in with the "fomenters." I have strong beliefs built through a lifetime of careful thought - just like most of the rest of you gents. I don't express those beliefs often; neither do I want those who happen to disagree with me to ridicule or dismiss my beliefs.

I just wanted to weigh in and say that I also found comments, such as those quoted, to be very, very borderline for our forum. It's the prime reason I've been responding to such trolling. Honestly, were I the moderator, I'd have removed them to preemptively eliminate a flamewar (our mod does a just fine job, it's largely a matter of judgement and each mod's lines on acceptable conduct vary)

.

Yes, I know you would have censored the thread. It's that fascist drive to control everything about your surroundings that you can't help. Like an itch you have to scratch.

Perhaps that is why you aren't a moderator? did you think of that?

I am getting sick of feeling like I need to push back on what basically amounts to fact-free or fact-twisting propaganda in a forum for a game. These folks need to take these posts back to Facebook for the "pleasure" of their relatives, or head on over to reddit.com/r/TheDonald if they're really that inclined to spew forth.

Really? I don't remember anyone forcing your to read any comment I make or even to respond?

I post articles and discussions I like, not what you like. If you don't like my comments no one is holding a gun to your head forcing your to post your comments.

You have some great need to make yourself the arbiter of what is acceptable and what isn't.

Funny how I never call for anyone to be censored yet you frequently do.

Funny how you think me saying that folks should keep their culture war discussion elsewhere is me saying that you, specifically, should be censored. You're not that important.

Funny how you also misunderstand that what would be my more stringent application of the "no political discussion" rule as so-called fascism.


Only it's not actually funny.

Please lock this thread, lot of trolling and lot of comments about "left-wing" or "religion" or "right-wing"

PS Also notice some posters are trying to turn this forum into political/current events; please take it elsewhere plenty of other places on internet for that. Lets stick to what the best fighter was in WWII or what if Japan won at Midway

Ooh oooh pick me, pick me, I know this one. It was the M4 Sherman, which beat the Zero hands down. FACT.

A Alabamian World War II pilot is reminiscing before school children about his days in the air force. "In 1942," he says, "the situation was really tough.

The Germans had a very strong air force. I remember, " he continues, "one day I was protecting the bombers and suddenly, out of the clouds, these fokkers appeared. (At this point, several of the children giggle.) I looked up, and right above me was one of them.

I aimed at him and shot him down. They were swarming. I immediately realized that there was another fokker behind me."

At this instant the girls in the auditorium start to giggle and boys start to laugh. The teacher stands up and says, "I think I should point out that 'Fokker' was the name of the German-Dutch aircraft company".

"That's true," says the pilot, "but these fokkers were flying Messerschmidts."

Life is very busy, but not as bad as mid-2016 to mid-2018.

But WITP:AE is safe from Apple actions beacuse the game focuses on defending capitalist KMT and their future Foxconn-Apple-Gung Ho complex in China. It is cool to be a coolie!
