Player accused of being a nazi
« Topic Start: June 30, 2012, 12:51:14 AM »
Harsh , anti-sematism. You are out of line. I will apologize to the players offended. Sorry, but now you owe me an apology for hinting that I am a Nazi.

Also you owe me an apologie for implying I would use a Nazi stule Swastika, red background, white circle , right facing swastika on a banner or armband. Which I clearly did not. Tom is  German ask him if he is offended. I did not use a Nazi Swastika.

Anti-Semitical and Nazi are two different things.

He implied I was being anti-Semitic.

Yes, he implied at worst you were being Anti-Semitic. But he never called you a Nazi.

I never saw those mesages and am playing in Asilion. Couldn't care less about it though.
So are real life symbols forbiden? All of them in any form?
For instance I saw the Romanian national emblem on a realm.

The charges are complete baloney... I read the law.

Any educated German judge would laugh this witch hunt out of their court.

If you wish to open a Magistrate case against a player, you can do so through the in-game option.

I don't care for a non-lawyer opinion on the chances to prevail in a court. You don't realize that by that point I've already had considerable expenses in time and money for the defense.

This is a game, and germans are sometimes especially sensitive with regards to nazi symbols. It is unlikely, but not unthinkable, that there could be trouble. I will ask you nicely once and only once to just drop this, on all in- and out-of-game channels. Just stop. The discussion is going nowhere and there are no points to score or arguments to win. You may be unhappy on what you perceive to be an excessive reaction to something innocent in your culture, but it can not possibly be so important to you that this whole discussion is necessary to continue. So please be the adult here and just drop the topic. Thank you.
