1. Call me Will, but ive had militant as a name for a long while and it kinda suits me. 2. 14, but i dont act like it- ive been interested in history and paticulary WW1 and 2 for a long time, i won a prize for being best in school. 3. Cheltenham, Great Britain. 4. Well, im interested in all of WW2 really, i enjoy talking abou it. 5. I have a range of hobbies, i enjoy Rugby, Basketball, Football, Computing, History and English. 6. I like the 20th century, mainly because if you think about it; it was that long ago and their are still many survivors from WW2. 7. As regards to Misc, First ill say many of my family served in the wars; i enjoy family history as well. My grandad was a RAF Sqn Ldr in WW2 in the lancaster bombers, bombing places like Dresden and Hamburg. My other grandad was a petty officer on the HMS Sussex. I could go back further, my great grandfather was a Lt in WW1 seeing action in Mons in France and peace keeping in British Raj. My other grandad was a lance corporal and he saw and survived the slaughter of the somme, he was the only person left to take charge after almost all his officers were killed. I could go back even further as my great great grandad was a Major and fought in the Boer wars. Ill tell you another thing, i joined another WW2 forum a week or so ago; very simular to this one infact. I made three threads, one about i couldnt get to sleep in the off topic, one about the denial of the holocaust and a third about was the british empire a good thing. A mod then goes and calls me a twat and says my 1st thread was a waste of time, then he complained and said my signiture was too big; then he was arguing with me on my latter thread, then i told him your the one being rude, calling me a twat and arguing over something petty. I wasnt rude, i just prooved a point; which was true. Next day, Oh dear im banned. Reason: See you mate. -_- Abuse of mod priveledges much? Oh well, i hope the people here are more pleasant.
I am well aware of what occured at the other forum. You start with a clean slate here, Militant, but do be judicious with your commentary. Discussion in the open forum about that matter is now closed.
Well, sir. Not being pushy, but can you please tell me what happened? what did i do wrong? PM if you dont want to discuss in the open forum but i would like to know. I wasnt rude or agressive in anyway. Despite the fact that i was sworn at , insulted and generally ganged up on by the guys there. Yeah , i totally agree im always sensible in what i write.
I am not a moderator over there, just an observer who knows you were shown the door. It would be improper for me to comment on the decisions made there. Even thought the two forums are closely tied (we are owned by the same person) and have many cross-over members, we are seperate in our focus and approach to discussion. As mentioned above, you start with a clean slate here and the matter is closed. Enjoy your time here in the forum and hope you are able to learn much and contribute to good conversation.
Ah come on; i just want to know what exacly happened and what they said afterwards (i got ip banned) PM if you like. But can you at least tell me what i apparantly did wrong; and ill make sure i won't do it here. Another thing, how come someone would make two websites that are basicially same?
Judging from the above, I am left to assume that it was for not following instructions. He didn't start two. He started one (this one) and bought the other 7 years later when it was offered for sale. It is a good fit, this one is mostly US-oriented and WW2Talk is focused more on the British and Commonwealth forces.
No sir, it wasnt for not following orders. Okay yes i know your teling me to not carry on the matter but, surely i thought you said you knew, frankly all i really want to know is why i got banned. All i can think of is that i made a thread about i couldnt sleep and one of the mods called me a twat and then he posted something on my profile which i ignored but then i made a thread about was the british empire a good thing and i recall him saying something obscure that had nothing to do with the topic but he kept going on about how i was "pissed" and i should "get the hell to bed twat" and all that. So i said something along the lines of how rude calling me a twat and stop going off topic. Just because he was well liked doenst mean he can treat me like scum and humilate and in turn ban me.
Militant, This is your last warning regarding this subject. I don't know nor do I care why you were banned there. That is between you and the moderators at WW2Talk. Mention it again in the open forum at your own peril. Have I made myself perfectly clear on this?
P_grenate1:gre:gre: Slipdigit has not made a very clear point, he is also very diplomatic and patient .
If you say so sir. But not being ignoramas, but id like to point out that you said you were aware of what happened i wished to know what i did wrong. But alas, as you have stated it does not matter; it is behind me now. Thanks for all the welcomes people.
I noticed a member had been banned with the same user name and wondered if it was you. Welcome to the forum and enjoy your stay here.
