I would imagine that if I posted a picture on the WITPAE thread or even the General Discussion thread of USS Arizona blowing up, or the last minutes USS Houston or USS Quincy, and showed this in a mocking way, I would (and quite rightly so) be slaughtered. Threadsters of all nationalities - but particularly, and understandably, Amercian - would have taken me to task for displaying such an image in a frivoulous manner. And yet...

Picture of the last moment of HMS Barham, HMS Repulse and HMS Prince of Wales are posted in the "what music are you listening to" thread, in mocking terms without so much as a passing comment from anyone...

Just thought I'd mention that I think that is shocking. Really hacked off that no one thought to post that those images were in bad taste.

Where have all the decent people gone? Thanks a lot guys.....

Yes, taste is sadly lacking in nearly every aspect of the modern world.

But I am really annoyed by this. I thought I would ignore it, but my anger has grown, rather than subsided. I calmed down enough not to post in a way that would get me banned, but.........

No maybe not but I would feel better - for a while at least. Anyone that has seen the footage of those young men running along the side of the battleship, trying to get to safety, oblivious to what is about to befall them will know what I mean. Tragic.

I've only ever greenbuttoned one person - and rescinded that after about 5 minutes - it just seemed so undemocratic.

Screw democracy. This is about you, and making this forum a nice place to hang out for you. I GB'ed Slaak a looooong time ago, for very obvious reasons. By the way, he's mocking you.

As to your original post. Many of us don't go into the music thread. Its been here so long I ignore it for the most part.
That maybe why no response. But now that you mentioned it The thread will be visited.

Oh my, how often original sin is left to repeat itself. Rather more than fifteen years ago, an Anglo-Irish acquaintance confided to another little Internet tribe that he had found "Americans" to be the most polite of all the "round-eyed peoples." Just an anecdote, but one that's worth telling, IMHO.

As for Slak I seriously doubt he was mocking you in his apology.

Status: offline 		For some reason, I remembered why I was so un-democratic some time ago and green buttoned Slaakman - this seems to have reminded me. It maybe I just don't how he's saying something - but it generally comes across as demeaning or rude - one of the two. I just don't get his form of humour I guess.

And Warspite, sadly (from my point of view at least) I seldom read threads around here and post even less - so I did not see said post.

I have traveled to England, Ireland, Germany, France(UUGGH), Russia, China and Peanutbrittlay. I have been in all 50 states of my great country, and I am unanimous in this, Americans are the friendliest people(as a whole) on earth.

In which case you would be seriously wrong. Otherwise an offer to remove said images would have been followed up with removal of said images. But there you go, I've had my rant and got it off my chest. I won't waste anymore time on Slaakman's "sense of humour".
