user named HermannGoering

[chaosfactor]

The Spice Girls genocided popular music as we know it, if anyone had the balls to come on CC with that name I would bite their nipples off

[Pedronicus]

I didn't put this in the abuse section, because as far as I can tell, he/she doesn't cheat, and is strategically very good.

However, this handle is highly offensive, and I'm wondering why it is allowed.

I thought that an American would welcome free speech.

I had the pleasure of playing against HermannGoering, as his moniker may represent a notorious murdering historical figure, the player is not a nazi...his explained his reason for choosing that name and I found it acceptable. Considering the CC policy of not letting him change his user name, I would not hold this against him.

Goddamn Nazis!

Remember people: Dig for Victory!

[BENJIKAT IS DEAD]

A player in a game alerted me to this thread - I never for one minute thought I could arouse such controversy over the use of a name (not a statement, but merely a name).

For the record I was very drunk when I joined CC (weren't we all?) and had intended to go by the handle of Erwin Rommel - a rather more dignified general - but got my names confused. Probably something to do with having just read a book on the subject and it was floating in my paralytic subconscious. So I apologize for that and for any offence it may cause or have caused.

Ty for explaining that. My issue with the name (as opposed to say Genghis Khan) is that there is a much stronger sense of revulsion to more recent events. In this particular instance, I have a number of relatives who I was unable to meet because they were gassed in the Holocaust.

I happen to have had a cat called Benji that was run over by my neighbour's chauffeur, so I find the moniker she is using to be particularly distressing.

My condolences... I apologise for my (very silly - look up my post history and you quickly find out why) name - I never intended it to cause offense

I would be (more than) happy to change my handle - do the powers-that-be on CC allow such modifications? I'd be quite alright with 'Benjikat's A C**t'.

Me too - although I was thinking along the lines of something a that was a little less of a personal attack.


General comment - Yes this is a site dedicated to "world domination" - but for me it is just about some small coloured numbers moving round a screen - when it gets mixed up with real life slaughter, genocide, etc, then I wish to ignore it.

[yeti_c]

Perhaps renaming yourself to Erwin Rommell might now be a good idea then!?

oh, i see... but racism is ok? why does it always have to be about COLOURED NUMBERS? why can't we all just get along? why can't it just be numbers? sigh...-0

What if that is just his real name?

[jiminski]

Razor, I'd like to know why this name is quite so painful for you.
Were relatives of yours killed in the Holocaust?

maybe the part of the thread where he explained where/how he made the "mistake" when
he created his account, is proof enough for you that it isn't his real name... try to read the
whole thread before commenting! i am the only person allowed to fly off the handle with general
responses without reading the entire thread!!-0

I believe jiminski wasn't being entirely serious in that there post of his.

Americans do believe in free speech. We also believe in hypocrisy and stupidity.

Snorri is definitely misnomer!

[sublimer]

Well, he said he wasn't racist, but made no comments as to his feelings about Jewish people in particular. So HermannGoering.... how do you feel about Jews? Are there any Jewish people on your ignore list? Have you helped enrich the Jewish community with any of your actions in real life? Have you any experience with Jewish people? Have you ever taken the time to learn any Hebrew? When you speak to Jewish people, do you try to end your conversations early and make a quick escape, or do you take the time to listen to what they have to say? Have you ever gotten in a fight with a Jew? Have you ever committed any crimes against a Jew? What are your true feelings about the Holocaust? Do you dislike Palestinians? How do you feel about the terrorists? Have you ever attended an anti-Jew rally? Have you ever attended a Pro-Palestinian rally? Have you ever considered becoming Jewish? If I were to offer you some Jew on non-Jew time, would you jump at the opportunity or try to shy away?

I would like to offer you an opportunity to jump on the bandwagon with me. Instead of hating Jews, we could bake cookies together. How does that sound?

Lets not go racail ---- Owen gets upset.

[Robinette]

This is an interesting documentary on the subject...

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid ... ixBA&hl=en

it happens to be over an hour long...
but knowledge is worth the effort.

And a 5 star rating, too...

[TheScarecrow]

HG is just a screen name get over it!

Just because I call myself TheScarecrow, i havent met too many ppl who have said that I do not have any brains. These ppl are smart enough to think, "hmm... maybe this guy is trying to be funny."

In your case when i see a name like HG I think, "This guy needs to go down... and fast!" i try my utmost plus 10% to win the game, just to get some 'revenge'

Oh yes and my family have been Jews since... forever.
