QUOTE(Eva Destruction @ Sat 2nd January 2010, 5:49pm) I'm quite taken by the "This user knows that Nazi Germany is in no way assiciated with the real Germany" on CE's userpage. Presumably all the real Germans popped out to the shops, and when they weren't looking those sneaky imposters occupied Western Europe.
Perhaps he could explain then why there are former Nazis, involved in the occupation of Denmark, still living in Germany? There is a story "The Groaning Hinges of the World" by R A Lafferty that suggests that every so often various places in the world such as Germany flip over and swap the people living there for subterranean people. Maybe hes read that story.

Perhaps he could explain then why there are former Nazis, involved in the occupation of Denmark, still living in Germany? He said "the real Germany," and he has a point. Much of what gave Germans a sense of national pride (as Das Land der Dichter und Denker - the land of poets and thinkers) was suppressed or destroyed under the Nazis. Take, for example, the works of Heinrich Heine. And although it may seem like an overly technical point, Hitler was not German. He was Austrian. There was a useful study of one facet of the issue in the film Taking Sides.

So today's Germany is still not "the real Germany"? After over 60 years they haven't restored it?

So today's Germany is still not "the real Germany"? After over 60 years they haven't restored it? Not once did I ever say that. I said that Nazi Geramn and Germany are two diffrent governments. But there are those who seem to think otherwise. And I must admit, have an admin called "Coldplay Expert" on wikipedia is probably not a good idea for public relations. But I never did like my name anyway. I just never bothered to change it because I could'nt think of anything else. QUOTE(Malleus @ Sat 9th January 2010, 6:28pm) QUOTE(Somey @ Sat 9th January 2010, 4:57pm) QUOTE(Malleus @ Sat 9th January 2010, 10:44am) I thought there was some age limit to membership here? Coldplay appears to be only 15. I checked his user & talk pages, but didn't see anything resembling an age declaration...? (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/unsure.gif) (Addendum) Okay, I found this where he admits to being a "minor," but in the USA that just means he's under 18, not under 16... His propensity for spelling mistakes tends to suggest younger rather than older, but without something more definitive, I guess I'm inclined to not worry about it. He has claimed on wikipedia to be 15, not 16 until April 3. Can't be bothered to go looking for where though. Isn't there some question about age that is supposed to be answered honestly when members register here? Why was JulianColton suspended last year? Malleus, it was 13 years old, not 15.

QUOTE(Coldplay Expert @ Sat 9th January 2010, 1:37pm) Malleus, it was 13 years old, not 15. Right - the rule is that you can register here if you're 13, 14, or 15, and as long as we don't find out how old you are, all is well. We don't go actively looking for that information beyond viewing user pages and such on WP, but if someone brings it to our attention (including links to off-site material) and the facts are essentially indisputable, then that means a suspension for however long it is until the person's 16th birthday. We keep meaning to spell that out explicitly somewhere, but of course, spelling it out explicitly would probably just get us into even more trouble! (IMG: smilys0b23ax56/default/rolleyes.gif)

Perhaps sometimes, but not this time. Im going to have to agree with Malleus here. I have so real and valid issues that I need to fix. And while they were presented to me in a rude way here, it has actually opened up my eyes. And yes Maleus, I will follow the advice of Julian.
