This is utterly ridiculous. You're viciously insulting two other posters for saying "woah" and referring to you in the third person... completely normal parts of any informal conversation, especially on the internet.
Of course, you've done worse before outside this thread. Ah, there's more...
Falsely implying that another poster is a Nazi. If you were "sorry" you wouldn't have done it.
The irony, it burns.
For failure to show hospitality and tolerance, among other things, I'm kicking you for a week. Once again, you can't just go around having a vicious reaction to some trivial thing that wasn't meant in any negative way.
That is a nice patchwork of older posts.
I know I am a bit oversensitive, Ian, but sometimes, believe me, it helps.
I would like you to put yourself in Aryaman's shoes, just for an instant.
You are that guy behind his computer screen, and you discover for the first time that very cool site on alternate history. You drink your beer, have a few cookies, and start typing. You tell yourself: "Gee, I would so much like to post a thread on this brilliant site... How am I going to contribute? Now, you have a good idea. Yes, a thread about Hitler! My first thread, my first post, my first time line will be 'WI Hitler died in 1941?'! This will give me the opportunity to make Germany win (at least for a few years, but that's enough for a wank, isn't it?).
But how am I going to call myself? Yeahhh. Aryaman, that is such a good name! I love Hinduism, and I am fascinated by Hindu mythology, am I not?
Of course, I hope that everyone will be so dumb as not to understand what I am aiming at, so I will tell them that I am a fan of Hinduism. That way, they will not understand who I am, and I will make fun of them. This will be so hilarious!
But there was that idiot of Louis XI who came to tell me that, well, may be, I was making fun of him and other posters. So I changed my signature in order to deceive them further. Thus Louis XI was kicked, and I won.
Now it's good to only have to withdraw one letter to one's real name, and suddenly become accepted by everyone. 'Aryan Man' is not a very good name when you submit a thread about Hitler as your first post, first thread and first timeline. Aryaman sounds so much better, doesn't it?
My post count yesterday:
-17 posts about 'WI Hitler is killed in July 1941?'
-4 in 'Mummies of the Tarim Basin'
-1 about 'Alternate Spain'
-1 about 'Francis I instead of Charles V'
Hitler takes the cake, doesn't he?
Was I wrong about Aryaman? Was I right? Well, I do not know for sure. But do not expect my apologies. I did not use the word nazi, as you did, Ian, I only said that I did not like the first part of Aryaman's name. You used that word, not I.
That may be 'falsely implying' that he is a nazi, as you put it, but I did not take the risk of defending someone like him. You did.
And I am sure Aryaman will give us a very good explanation that will get me banned. But I, at least, have a clear conscience.
P.S.: I was fully aware, from the start, that Aryaman was a Hindu deity. This did not preclude me from still hearing that word as it sounds. There is something behind etymology, Leo. Words have an aesthetic resonance. Aryaman was fully aware of that, but this did not preclude him from using that name, which could be misconstrued, while posting his first thread about Hitler. Would you post your first thread about Hitler and call yourself Aryaman? You certainly would not, because you would understand that you might be taken for a nazi. Either Aryaman is very naive, very Hindu, or very something else (you know, a word used by Ian)...
