They sneer at wargamers from other places and their contemptible views. They act as if the hobby belongs to a single country." <br />is incredibly ironic when you consider the way a group of 6 or 7 that I've nicknamed "Team America" behave on the Ultramodern boards and elsewhere.<br /><br />Good luck to us all in finding better places to enjoy our hobby.SteveHolmes11https://www.blogger.com/profile/17392212343858957364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26773117.post-86820649315888802017-05-30T10:52:28.429+01:002017-05-30T10:52:28.429+01:00I am boycotting Spanish produce over their opportu...I am boycotting Spanish produce over their opportunistic sniping over Gibraltar. The man down the road is from Gibraltar and is a nice chap, whereas I have never met a nice Spaniard and working a lot in South America, Spanish firms are, how shall I put it politely? - ethically challenged. They are also the fifth biggest drugs cheats in sport. Basically, if there is an honourable and correct way to behave, in many areas of life, the Spanish ignore it completely. legatus hedliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17078980742683576345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26773117.post-31828403267658758882017-05-24T11:43:26.274+01:002017-05-24T11:43:26.274+01:00Exactly.

It's really for your own safety - studies have found that adding in country music during the first lesson can overwhelm most trainees and result in tragic outcomes such as attempting to build a moonshine still without proper training (that's lesson 7) or the wearing of black socks and wing tips with your new Carhart Overalls.<br /><br />Rest assured, as a professional "redneck whisperer" I'll will see to your proper assimilation.

Instead of defusing the situation, there appears to be simply an unending pouring of oil. I've certainly never had anything other than help and politeness from American gamers, who are very important to me given the periods I do; so I'd hope that is reciprocated to them from British gamers. But as Doug and Steve say, this sort of thing is inevitable on forums nowadays, no matter what subject or interest group the forum is aimed at.

There is always a clique who feed off each other by picking on others. And there are various strategies to increase interest, and traffic to the website. Controversy is good for ad revenue. Sadly though, it does end up chasing away a few members. <br />As for the anti British attitude?<br />I think that the UK giants of wargaming set a high bar for others to emulate. Educated, erudite and thoughtful books, articles and beautiful figures and terrain have influenced the hobby from its modern start. So instead of trying to emulate or striking out on their own, a few like to tear down others in order to make themselves seem that much taller. Just like forum behavior, really.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07011159912925185469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26773117.post-56889891013250191552017-05-21T20:53:46.470+01:002017-05-21T20:53:46.470+01:00Yes those dinosaurs are nice but I hope to be able...Yes those dinosaurs are nice but I hope to be able to buy them later.
