Also, if we're going to go that route, Samoht, your name offends me because I had a friend named Sam who is no longer with us.

Were hundreds of thousands of your friend named Sam murdered in methodical fashion as a tyrannical regime marched across Europe? The scale hardly matches.

So I am running through BB and come across a guild tag <Sixtee and Pregnant>.

But let's not discuss that, let's discuss Holocaust.

This shouldn't be a double standard, if you want to use that defense then I should be able to, too.

(doesn't agree with me, must be trolling)

I'm just responding to you the way you've responded to everyone else for the last 17 pages. IT OFFENDS PEOPLE, KTHXBYE CHANGE IT.

I don't care about your "facts" It's bullshit and you know it.

It's not anything to disagree. You tried to corner me with an incorrectly placed simile.

100,000's of jews die : holocaust is offensive to 100,000's of people :: 1 friend dies : sam is offensive to 1 person

See how that works?

But you literally JUST said if it offends one person that's too much. Sam offends me. Change your name.

End of argument. You think that the guild name offends thousands of people, there aren't thousands of people in this thread, there are four, and mitic trolling.

If there's one person who in all honesty was offended by this name to the point of quitting the server, that's one person too much. Guild names are not artistic expression and are not protected by first amendment rights.

I'm not going to quit playing here because of the name. My skin is far too thick for something like that. I also would have never made a thread like this without someone else posting it. But I am going to jump to their defense if they honestly do feel offended because I expect the same of other civilized compassionate human beings. Frankly I was a little shocked by the name when I first saw it, and how people could be so insensitive.

Oh wait, it's the TZVZjects that we're talking about in Holocaust, of course I'm not surprised. We all should know damn well that they picked the name because it was controversial. Do you seriously think that the fact that the Holocaust has such powerful emotional overtones never factor into their selection of the name? Get real.

I think your under the impression this is the first time <Holocaust> was created as a guild tag.

You at very mistaken.

I wondor though, I keep seeing a reference about being offended.

You may be of the Jewish heritage, that does not make you a victim of th Jewish holocaust. You should be ashamed of yourself for thinking you felt or went through what they experienced for you to be here today. Especially with you taking a word and categorizing it to one particular group, when there have been many holocausts in our history.


I'm German, so your blaming me for that historical incident? If following your trail of logic, it would be my fault and all German decendents fault?

Sounds to me you have a few discrimination issues to work out.
