    It's fantastic for those Muslims and a great feat for your grandfather.

    But I think fighting Hitler is something very rational, therefore it's not surprising that people did it. I expect logical people to do it.

    Supporting Hitler, however, is outrageous and needs to be highlighted.

    I think you're right, but really ATW has dug his own grave here. It's well known that he is trigger happy with personal attacks, and he practically invented the practice of posting pictures of extremists and relating them to posters by racial/religious association.

    A quick look through his posting history will show you that much.

    That doesn't mean I condone the behavior from any of them. I'm just saying it's ridiculous to have any pity for ATW in this case.

    Also, I find it unlikely that he is really "hurt" by it in any way. He himself once said that one of the points of the D&D is to piss people off with some form of criticism. I can only imagine that if you consider pissing people off as one of your goals on this board that you won't be surprised when others resort to the same dirty tricks as you do.

    My only issue is that through these tactics, any discussion which remotely concerns the Muslims on this board is dragged down to a childish level. I would think one side is more interested in doing that than the other, then again I don't see anyone letting up right now.

    Which extremists? Muslim rage boy? As far as I know, he is just an angry protester, and the "star" of a known meme on the internet. Which mass murderers, comparable to Hitler, have I supposedly associated to posters "by racial/religious association"? Thank you in advance for trying to substantiate your statement.

    You are right insofar as I dish out and that I can therefore certainly take some as well, but constantly calling me Hitler is completely out of line and NOT anywhere near equivalent to anything I have done.

    As I said, whatever I dished out is NOT anywhere near equal to these unbelievable Hitler posts, but it is noted that you have not ONCE spoken up and admonished your rhetorically challenged brothers in faith to stop what they have been doing. If you are really concerned about discussions being dragged down, that might have been a pretty good idea.

    Back in Dubai? LOL @ censorship and its unintended consequences. If you had seen the video, you would not have tried to rep.

    Quote from the video:

    Maybe you should lobby your government to stop censorship. Or you should sign up for a VPN service so you could feel like you are in the free world.

    Maybe then you would start to understand the concept of free speech.

    I give ATW a lot of credit cause he really knows how to rile some of you folks up. Calling him names like Hitler is nonsensical in response to his rhetoric, at least he is subtle and smart in the way he goes about insulting Mauslims. Even when he acts like a 5 year old its only to fudge with y'all. Your responses is what gives him a hardon, he's been posting the same stuff over and over again, he goes in circles in every thread, yet y'all still dance with him. Funny.

    The only way to answer rhetoric is with more rhetoric.

    If Nazi lover is gonna QQ about it, then that's too bad.

    I honestly don't see what is so "subtle and smart" from equating some Muslim posters on here with apes/monkeys. You mind highlighting what is so "subtle and smart" about this tactic of the Hitler ideologue?

    I really don't need to. Everyone's seen the pictures you've post, and people of different beliefs have told you what they think of it. Off the top of my head, I remember DonnyMost telling you off about a picture of some kid with guns and whatnot.

    I already told you it's not as bad as the Hitler pics, but it is without a doubt in the same category when you associate people on this board to murderers, terrorists, suicide bombers, etc.

    Also, as I've told you before, I'm either everyone's brother in faith or no one's brother in faith. I don't buy into your bigotted view that people of the same group should condemn each other. Everyone shares the responsibility. It is idiotic of you to say that my not saying anything dragged down the discussion which you consciously chose to drag down again and again and again and again. lol It's beyond laughable.

    "So if you want good convo, when I post an offensive picture, and someone else posts an even more offensive picture in response, the way to avoid dragging down the convo is by telling off the person who I think shares your beliefs. The solution is definitely not for me to not post offensive pictures in the first place."

    I am against the whole thing, I won't pick and choose based on the topic, the races, the beliefs, because it is childish regardless of all of that. You could both be terrorists, you could both be Mother Teresa, you could both be Nazis, whatever. It's childish. The first and second and last and the least offensive and the most offensive one. They're all childish.

    I don't know how you live in this warped world, but I imagine that at this age, your brain probably automatically warps the perception instead of having to go through analaysis or thought. Even if they didn't post Hitler pics, you would still be a childish person for posting the pics you always post. Do you get that? Even if everyone in the world is wrong, it doesn't mean you are less wrong. It just means every single person in the world is individually wrong, and pointing fingers won't change the fact that you are also wrong.

    Jeez. I can't believe I'm talking to a grown ass man like this.

    Maybe I'm just at work and your country has produced a person so hanus that I can't even risk someone passing by and seeing his image on my desktop.

    Maybe that's it ATW.

    WARPED.

    Then why do you get much angrier at me than at them, even though you admit that the Hitler pics are worse?

    You are contradicting yourself. On the one hand, you pretend that you are objective, on the other hand you get much angrier at me, even though you admit that what they do is worse.

    Interesting.

    I'm up for a coffee but don't have much time because I'm travelling again tomorrow.

    I'll be in the DIFC from 4pm to 7pm if you're around by any chance.

    If either Mathloom or ATW stop posting all of a sudden after their meeting should we notify Interpol?

    I will contribute to the tip jar if this meeting is streamed/posted here.

    (and for Clutch agreeing to change the silly format of my moniker...) :grin:

    My money would be on Mathloom owning ATW since there will be no access to Google.
