Gonna need proof of that there mister.

Also, following my own personal rules. I'm gonna overlook it if they apologized for it.

Sorry, but I couldn't skip over this utter nonsense. And banning Calahan, one of the most contributing members of what is left of this degenerating forum is promoting harmony in which way exactly?
From what I see all you've managed to do is piss off a lot of people. You'll doubtlessly piss off even more when Strider, Anette or whoever shows up here to "promote some more harmony" I recon.
And that "harmony" will result in more people getting banned (maybe myself, soy, admiral aorta...) and more people leaving the forum.

Ive been wondering where the reoccurring claim was coming from also...
Hmmmm..... I doubt very much that he has come into contact with Hadendoa natives
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadendoa
so Id suspect the more common source of Rudyard Kiplings poem
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fuzzy-Wuzzy
which praised them for breaking the famed British bayonet square using nothing but spears.
Seems like a reasonable grognard reference to the conversation that was going on.

Quote:
A derogatory term for a black person, especially one with fuzzy hair.
http://www.urbandictionary.com/defin...=fuzzy%20wuzzy

But apprantly, fuzzy wuzzy is also part of the US defense language (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lanchester%27s_laws). So it is more unintended racism.

I'm going to allow it. If Krol promises to not use the term anymore.

Also, lets stop this line of reasoning. It isn't related to the banning of Calahan.

(And it all these conversations distract me from my blitz).

So, what I want to know: was Valerius correct?

Something along the lines of "because the people here are dumb-asses I prefer to discuss the game at Dom3mods."

Wir müssen die Juden ausrotten!

I guess referencing something like this is perfectly acceptable here than?
I don't see how your argument caries any weight.
