Youre right of course Grey Wolf, Ive had a time posting anything on thesee old boards. My posts would disappear, or it would take forever to see what I typed, even the one that started this off was like that. I vented, realized I was probably a little too strong. My post disappeared, so I responded again less angry, and the entire thread disappeared, only to reappear the next day starting this whole mess. The new boards are up and should resolve these problems. |

I think I'll use the 100th posting in this thread and ask people to stop posting on it and for Ian to lock it down. It was never my intention to start a flame war and I'd rather not have my most successful thread be known as one. |

I think we should all lay off one another, take a moment of New Years peace, forget the negative aspects of this thread, and reappear at the new board as happy bunnies

Oh so I have to have the same sense of humor as everyone else now. I didnt find it funny, so I am very sorry for having my own personality. I will try not to do that again. |

Lonnie,
Grow a sense of humour or leave town.
Anyone would think you were the United States. |

The first post was a JOKE, Lonnie. An OBVIOUS joke. After you took it seriously and had a fit, it was explained to you that it was a joke, and you basically continued to take it seriously and posted a bunch of entirely serious trolls bashing other peoples' countries.
A joke I obviously missed because it wasnt funny. Jokes are suposed to be funny are they not?
My comments of not being real country comes from the Republicans in those very nations who say they will not be a real country until they dump the British crown. I reflected the very real sentiments of people in these countries, and am accused of bashing that country. Alot of Canadian Republicans would agree with me, but I guess that doesnt matter does it? I should be laughing at an unfunny joke.
And yes I continued cause I took some of the next posts as a personal attack.
I guess next time I wont worry about research the feelings of other people in other countries, because if it comes out to insult that country as it is now, its a crime. The only countries that can be in sulted on the interent for the things they do or the way they do things are the United States and France. Why is that do you think? It seems to me everyone blames the worlds ills on the United States, as if we are responsible for everything from the rise of every single dictator to the fall of Constantinople, and France is just the butt of everyones jokes. Thanks for remindming me only France and America are supposed to be put under the heels of the entire world, while everyone else is exempt.

In the event of conquest I expect to be treated in accordance with the Geneva Convention and be permitted to serve out my sentence as supervisor of the Miss America Lingerie Testing Range.
Only here would I actually learn to appreciate all things American as part of my rehabilitation and return to society.
Is that not cruel and unusual enough? |

You've got shares in this salt mine chain making company haven't you Dave?
"I am your unworthy slave, master, please kick me again."
BTW the first time I read this I thought I saw an L instead of a K beginning one of the words and it was one of the most disturbing experiences of my life:

People, please - this squabbling is undignified. The most important thing is that all English-speaking peoples must unite to maintain world domination. Would you want the English language, in whatever form, to have its place usurped by some foreign tongue that actually has consistent rules of spelling and grammar? Do you want to be speaking a language that insists, for no good reason, that the words for non-living objects are either "masculine" or "feminine"? Do you want to have to speak in some Asian language where one tiny difference in stress or accent can completely reverse the meaning of a statement and turn a compliment into a deadly insult? Of course not - these are fates worse than death itself! Yet, this could be YOUR fate if you continue this petty bickering and refuse to unite against the horde of bizarre foreign languages threatening us!

I love my homeland of the United States alot. However, if Canada does conquer us, don't throw the South out. There are a few decent people down here, like me. Besides, I wouldn't be surprised if the South "rose again", and I was forced to fight for the government against the rebels. I'd gladly join the cause of union against those who would break the country apart. |

ah, all you poor misguided traitors and fools. We know all, see all, and hear all. All traitors are known to us and your salt-mine chains have been prepared long ago. Anyone who even thinks of defying the coming glorious world conquest by the benevolent Americans had better practice saying the following phrases: "yes master" "I live to serve, master" "I am your unworthy slave, master, please kick me again". You'll want to really polish up your toadying skills. If you really shine at your groveling and are willing to do unspeakable sexual favors for your sadistic camp guards, you might be able to earn that extra moldy slice of bread that will be just barely enough to keep you alive for another day of misery in the salt mines. Consider yourselves warned.... |

John Hartley, he was singled out because the people who disagreed with him did so in a mature and rationale fashion, whereas his own posts can be easily percieved as offensive and poorly thought-out. The first post in the thread was no flame, it was a valid discussion topic. His reply was the opposite as far as I'm concerned.
Hence WHY twice as more people disagreed with him. ;) |

I have to agree with Lonnie to an extent. Although I disagree with alot of what he says, it did seem that he was being unfairly singled out when it seemed at least twice as many people were aggressively disagreeing with him. |

Um if anybody actually wants to talk about "Thirteen colonies remain affiliated with Britain" AH, go ahead. But cut out the argument about modern political systems.
This especially means you, Lonnie. Your hypersensitivity sparked the whole mess. And frankly if you can't stand people criticizing your "beloved country" in this day and age, you'd better disconnect yourself from the Internet.
I love your impartiality Ian. The first post was a rant on threads discussing Canada joining the US. I rant in return, where as normally I keep my opinions of the monarchy to myself.
Why is one rant worse than another? The most popular AH topic is not Canada joining the US, it is the South winning the Civil War, which divides this country.
So if my "hypersensitivity" to my beloved country being criticized means I have no business on the internet, then the original poster's "hypersensitivity" to Canada being annexed by the US means he has no business on an Alternate History site. Its a two way street, and some impartiality on your part would go to make this board alot better. Your the site owner and the mod, in order to be a good one you must have some neutrality, which so far you have been proven unable to show neutrality, you always take one side over the other. |

I really like the Sons of the Beaver Song too.
Were there Umpa Lumpas in Willy Wonka's, I haven't seen the movie just parts. I know there's an umpa lumpa on a Simpson's episode, he/she/it wasn't creepy |

Of course the Americans could never match the Beaver Song. You could never get drunk enough on American beer to write anything like the Beaver Song. |

I'm with Straha. This is a fun thread and it seems to me that 99% of the posters are taking the verbal jousting amongst us colonials (and misguided former colonials) as the good clean fun it is. Just nobody mention jews or palestinians please. And David, you'll never know how many of us there are until you get put in the reeducation camp after Restoration Day! |
