Oh, and how unfortunate that people can act like that. You handled it really well Gav.

[sabergirl]

What a thorough and thoughtful response to what sounds like some hasty judgements. Glad you're here to represent us as a community, Mega.

@sabergirl Those were not hasty judgements.  This guy has now joined the forum 4 times.  He may be deranged but he certainly knows what he is doing….

What Giles said

After moderating this place for however many years, I've figured out that there are people who just enjoy being offended

[sabergirl]

Weird. I can't see how he would draw those conclusions. Some folks have their fingers in their ears, and their eyes tightly shut a lot of the time. What a way to live.

Love you Gav.  ::)

[Giles]

I think he probably spends his life skewing evidence to support his views….

[Anesthetist]

Well done Gav. That was a very thoughtful response and hit the nail in the head.

[Jordan23]

By own experience he will be reached with reasons!

I really should lay off ze German jokes… I do love 'm!.. Just wished they didn't visit so often!..

(I'm sorry...)

PS: me, a neo-nazi ?.. What the hell has that guy been sniffing?.. I mean I've been told a great many of things in my career (of being alive), but that one takes the cake…

As Stephen Fry said, you're offended? So fucking what.

Misappropriation of imagery is and has been a common and timeless methodology for all types of groups. Christianity flourished through the integration of pagan customs, stories and practices. The Nazis plundered many icons and images including Buddhist iconography. The fact that an extremist group can monopolise and forever be associated with a once benign representation is probably a conversation for another good long day but….as Megatron said, this site is about clothing and denim.

Anyway, good call and a well measured and stoically reasoned response. Kudos.

Maybe Georg saw this picture of @Seul on a typical day in Belgium, and assumed the worst…

[Chris]

I just figured it was the shaved head.  Guys who shave their heads are all assholes.

Like this jerk:

Superbly executed response Mega!

Apt response Mega . Had no idea this was going on . As you said , there are plenty of other forums for political, religious and other wildly polarizing topics .

Seul , I thought of you as the "next to window poser " , with a peculiar fondness for pigs ,  in the WAYWT threads - not the Neo-Nazi mental case !

[Seul]

I'm just a mental case…

I can SO relate to this…..
