"Snobby British and Arrogant Yanks?" Topic

While I'm aware that Bill as editor would have a much better feel on the pulse of TMP than just about anyone, but did I just miss something?

No, you didn't. Unless you like lot's of DRAMA-ILAMA! I should trademark that.

Yeah. You missed the Might of the Long Knives.

"Snobbish British and Arrogant Yanks" that sounds like an awesome title for a book about conjoined twins with different citizenships!

Dan
PS. Or the name of my own personal republic, if I ever become ruler of some nation populated mostly by people of those two groups. :)

Sounds like the perfect title for a set of AWI rules, so at least something good has come out of the ongoing car crash that continues to unfold below :)

David, that works great too! Or even for the War of 1812 (AWI Part Deux).

Personally I think it's the next Kickstarter RPG Title….

"Dropped in the heart of Manhattan – you have but one goal : a proper cup of tea. But where in this sea of arrogant Yanks will you find such a thing?"

Actually, New Yorkers are a rather decent bunch, by and large & most helpful too. There are several decent tea joynte's in all five boroughs, except maybe Staten island…😉

I can't seem to find the cartoon (or was it a movie?) with a two-headed giant fighting itself.

I guess this will just have to do for now.

Dan
PS. Or it might have been a two-headed cyclops, which would make more sense. Together we have one good pair of eyes, but they're always out of sync. :)

Most gamers I've met are really great people….personal hygiene aside!

Would rather be drinking gin in London – hell anywhere – then tea in NY or anywhere. Course it's a matter of beverage choice. Locale is never an issue…

Whiskey will do too, as will rum, scotch, bourbon or saki.Cheers! Slainte! It's always 5 PM somewhere… :)

More accurately, "a few snobby Brits, and accusations about arrogant Yanks by someone who then ran away…"

It's good for the hobby to have these frank discussions once in a while.

This can be used to end the thread – but one must be quite careful in using it:

Is it good for the hobby to purge almost everyone who disagrees with you?

Good one Dadster!

Is it good for the hobby to purge almost everyone who disagrees with you?

Is it my turn to get the pitchforks and torches?

Is it good for the hobby to purge almost everyone who disagrees with you?

I don't mind if someone disagrees with me.

People who discourage others from advertising or becoming Supporting Members do not deserve to be part of the community. It would be financial folly to allow them to remain on the forums.

Sock puppets need to be purged. In many cases, it is the same half-dozen people over and over, making their snarky remarks or pretending to offer advice. Their accounts get locked, they sneak back in, they get locked again… that's the cycle.

People who cannot participate in a forum discussion without making attacks on their fellow gamers need to be removed, if they cannot control themselves. As I have said before, I am raising the standard. I don't mind if TMP has fewer members, if we can leave the mean and snarky ones behind, the ones who add so much negativity to the site.

Bill, if people who attack fellow gamers need to be removed then your current behaviour suggests a period of silence on your part.

Why don't you discuss specifics with me in private, Bangorstu? Your viewpoint is always sanguinary.

Merely holding you to the standards you publically set.

Holding my feet to the fire?

I see. Sock puppets who discourage others from advertising or becoming supporting members, Brit or American, have no place in this forum. Got it.

Save us, Popeye!!

Does refusing to give satisfactory examples of an astonishing assertion count as running away?

It's good for the hobby to have these frank discussions once in a while.

And I was beginning to doubt that Bill has a sense of humour!

Editor voluerit addere paulo gravitas ad forum. Mediis soccus automata vade in domum tuam.

Timor est multo deterius mediis soccus automata

Immo – praesertim in 28mm

Almost wish I'd studied Latin – almost.

Too lazy to use Google translate…

Let's talk about Lite Beer. Who needs one?

Too lazy to use Google translate…

You've rumbled me….

… or a game of Operation Market Garden where the players play the Germans and the game mechanics automate the Wallies.

Looks like a clip from "Popeye Meets Sinbad".

What about avoiding the question while refusing to acknowledge the evidence?

Lol. I forgot most of my Latin, so I just googled "I prefer to play with little men".

Dan

"…refusing to acknowledge the evidence?"

The evidence that has been presented is thin, to say the least, which is why a great many people are having a hard time believing you when you assert that it isn't an issue and when others on both sides of the pond are telling you it isn't)

Getting popcorn… ever larger buckets… :-)

The Editor has made his ruling. All objections have been duly noted. We now return to our regularly scheduled programming.

What about avoiding the question while refusing to acknowledge the evidence?

Be happy to answer that question when I see the evidence.

All objections have been duly noted.

And ignored or treated with disdain.

Nobody is forced to believe me. Judge for yourselves.

And ignored or treated with disdain.

I know what I have seen. I stand by what I have said. If my opinion offends you, I am sorry.

"Judge for yourselves"

I think the membership has made their judgement quite clear.

Is that an apology? My work here is done.

Whatever I thought about the editor's propensity to troll, pales compared to my amazement that he made it look like the comments on this thread were not heavily deleted.

Sometimes the sensible thing is not to ask the question in the first place, because it achieves nothing but stirring up trouble for the sake of it.

Sadly the people who should show the most restraint are often the ones who show the least…

The Editor:

What about avoiding the question while refusing to acknowledge the evidence?

Hmmm … What? Like in this thread? … TMP link

I'm a snobby Brit and many Americans are arrogant, I think it's refreshing that we know ourselves and each other

Hmmm … What? Like in this thread?

I don't understand your point, sorry.

Deleted posts are automatically removed periodically by the server. No human hands were involved.

Are you being "snobby"?

Why would you think that? Honest question, I'm curious
