A thread about drum majors sends 3 to the dog house. After hearing about how bad and nasty the napoleonic boards are for years. I've finally seen it with my own eyes. |

I thought you were kidding. That is pretty amazing that people get so worked up about how long it took to train military musicians 200 years ago. |

Agreed. So much anger over something so ridiculous. |

Was Brechtel involved? If so it all makes sense. Very educated person but my god is he opinionated (ok we all are, but he is special in his version). :p |

Good thing they weren't discussing bricoles. |

Nappies and Ultramods,the two biggest conduits for the DH. The latter is understandable,with such blurring into politics(see Clausewitz). But Nappies? You'd think it would be Ancients,or WWII,but discussions there seem to be more civil, for some reason,even with some (possibly)deliberately provocative threads,as here(though that one is getting a bit "warm":
TMP link I wonder--does all that minutiae attract a "certain sort" of personality, or does the obsessive button-counting affect the mind? |

I've been on there, stirring the pot, I'm a little ashamed to say, and yes, Brech is involved, and Gazzola, I've tried quoting Spartacus, even Dangermouse, but it's still very toxic! John |

I left the conversation very early on…just went back (thanks Gunfreak…NOT)  …Oy, as in like VEY…you're not kidding. Ridiculous! |

I always wonder if these folks are as combative in 'real life'. Would be fascinating to watch them get through the day. -Will |

I am just finishing a French in Spain project off…maybe I need to consider making it a solo campaign 😀 |

And yet, the vast majority of us manage to read and post to the Napoleonic boards without resorting to insults and/or accusations. Perhaps it's not the subject matter after all . . . |

That. Is. AMAZING. One of the all-time classics.
The spite-to-substance ratio is astoundingly high. Top entertainment. |

Just noticed Tango is in the Dawghouse. |
| Hafen von Schlockenberg | 01 Aug 2016 12:40 p.m. PST |
Yep,Ultramods ate him too. |
| Winston Smith | 01 Aug 2016 12:41 p.m. PST |
I am waiting for the new Napoleonic rules that incorporate this discussion. |
| Hafen von Schlockenberg | 01 Aug 2016 12:48 p.m. PST |
I'd be surprised if "Chef de Battalion" doesn't address it. |

The Nappy boards are downright boring compared to what they used to be! |

'The Nappy boards are downright boring compared to what they used to be!' Quote your source for this! I presume you can read?!? this silly and Ad-hominomini attack is typical, l suggest you study the text in this work, then come back, and we can continue the debate. etc, etc. John |

This is the kind of thing I'd love to explain to my wife, but I can't :) |
| Dynaman8789 | 02 Aug 2016 7:40 a.m. PST |
Easy to explain this to my wife, I simply say it is the internet and we both know exactly what that means. |
| Todd McLeister | 02 Aug 2016 7:45 a.m. PST |
But can you explain it in the original French? Thought not.

| Hafen von Schlockenberg | 02 Aug 2016 10:49 a.m. PST |
Hey,ever notice how the Nudie board seems to go on hiatus whenever Tango01's in the Dawghouse? Coincidence? Who all voted for that thing anyway? |
| Dynaman8789 | 03 Aug 2016 5:45 a.m. PST |
Sure I can, not sure I can use the word for it here however. Starts with Mer… |
