I AM SO TIRED OF THIS SITE'S ATTITUDE

Great.

Logged on, find a person withthe handle FUHRER on this site.

This really sucks.

Esp when they call themselves THE FUHRER in their profiles.

What's up with people these days.





I am really so fed up with this ignorant bullshit.

AAAND my orgnote to the sad case;

Who ever you are.

Your handle REALLY pisses me off. It's offensive.
This is the most ignorant thing I have come across this site EVER.

So yeah, I reported you and am not afraid to tell you in your face.

I move to strike this handle ENTIRELY.

If you do not even consider other people's feeling by using such an ignorant handle, then you are as dumb as your handle.

I hope the moderators wake up QUICK and remove this sorry thing from this site.

Greets,

Jerry

I understand German. I know the meaning of the word.

Still, the chosing of this handle is inappropriate. You do not have to teach me the meaning.

It's sad that you think these kinds of things will NOT hurt or offend other people.

And it's VERY sad that there is a moderator who allowed you on this site, using this handle.

It's the same if I used a swastika as avatar and then say it's actually an old Germanic rune or even an Indian sign. I would never CONSIDER using it, cuz it is lame-ass and offending.

You, who ever you are, should look deep inside and ask why you are even defending the use of the word.

That should have nothing to do with it. He's human

No matter how many meanings for fuhrer can be cojured up we all know what it refers to.

This thread is seriously something to "think" about. rose As for the handle names... they are somewhat sad. sad So... I am off to enjoy my morning, tend to some important issues, here in the physical and real world (at lease my world). wink rose

Good Day smile

I wish people would just be "real" and consistent here, but then... perhaps that wouldn't be good either. confused shrug

Okay.

Recap.

Someone is one here using the handle Fuhrer, he also states; real name The Fuhrer, as we all know a title bestowed on Hitler.

As I know it's just another word to some, I checked the profile, then his posts. His posts suggest this is someone who likes pulling legs.

In case of his handle; the wrong leg.

I think it's unbelievably disrespectful for a site to allow anyone to use racist or semi-racist handles.

It is hurtful to see that is is endorsed on a site that is so uptight about being political correct, so to speak.

The moderator who allowed this handle made a mistake.

I orgnoted this person and got disrespect back. I posted on a thread and found this person DEFENDING his handle.

Please delete this handle and let this person return using a handle that does not give offence to others.

This should not be a discussion.
