I really hope you didn't get someone fired from their job. Dude deserves anything he gets here. Ridicule, banned, etc. He's clearly a moron. But even morons need to be able to feed their families.
We'll have to agree to disagree that dude is a real life Nazi, based solely on a stupid troll account he created on the internet. Seems harsh to get him labeled that way. I saw the posts he made in multiple threads today and was like "wow that's, um, bold". It never once crossed my mind we had a real life Nazi in our midst.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not defending the guy for what he did. He's an idiot. Even if he isn't a Nazi, why would you pretend to be one? But it's a leap to say he is one for real. And then try to get him fired from his job. But I doubt many here will see it that way.
we've had quite a few nazis posting here over the years so it probably should have crossed your mind for a second
Well it didn't. But let's say it did. Still doesn't make me automatically think he's a real life Nazi. Just seems like a wild leap to me. Idk.
A dude made a decision to sign up with his work email to post as Hitler...in this day and age. Im not saying I would send it to his employer, but I have no qualms with people who would want to. A fucking dumb decision on his part and he should realize that since he has a family, his actions affect more than just himself.
I can assure you, every one of us has thought of Charlie's kids as much as he had. Congrats to you, because you've thought of them more than he had.
Hah. Sorry to disturb the integrity of the thread! How dare I call out someone for potentially ruining someone's life, all over something that might not even be true. And if it is true... Fuck him but don't punish his family. People say the board has grown up. Depends on the situation it looks like. I'm expecting a thread ban at this point. But if people continue to respond I'll do the same.
I literally agree with almost all of this. I just can't understand sending it to his employer when it could potentially affect more than just the dumbass in question. That's all.
No lie, many an argument of yours went through my mind as I typed it. Only thing left is to say I'm going to bed.
Just start another thread on it. It’s not that hard. But it’s the “fucked around and found out” thread, and the reaction to his thoughtless troll persona (at best) fits with what this thread is about, as he literally fucked around pretending he was a Nazi for god knows what reason. If you don’t agree with that fine, but I’m not sure why you’d expect anything different in a thread that’s titled “fucked around and found out.”
I didn’t do anything. I didn’t send his job anything. He went into a thread about a black man who was lynched and posted that he hoped the guys got a light sentence. He made an account honoring Hitler. So If someone else was pissed off by that and sent his job that information while fucked up for his kids it’s the consequences of his actions. It’s not hard not to be a complete POS. I wouldn’t have done it but I can’t control what other grown man do. If I had that power I would have told CK not to do that shit. If I’d have seen it I’d have deleted the post. If I knew it was him I’d have PMed him and told him to cut that shit out. My post was half joking. I wouldn’t have done it (sent shit to his job) but I don’t know if I feel bad someone else did.
Again, I agree with almost all of this. Just hope something bad doesn't happen to his family. But I think that's understood by now.
did it ever occur to you that maybe we have some Jewish folks here that have lost some loved ones to Hitler and it fucks up their life having to see that shit? Or you just going to sympathize with the Nazi guy?
I'm not going to start another thread and go on some crusade. I don't have much else to say that I haven't already said. Unless someone asks me a new question. I think it's a little disingenuous to basically say it's in the spirit of the thread, when I'm not advocating for him not to have consequences. There's no excuse for him and I'm not defending his actions. I think it's a bit of a leap to say he's a Nazi based on a troll account alone. At best, as you said. Fuck him if he actually is. But those related to him that did nothing wrong? Well... Different story. Plenty of people laugh at those in this thread when they die from their own stupidity. Hardly anyone laughs at their loved ones.
Yeah “guy might not have been a real Nazi”, does that make a difference for our Jewish posters or are you just going to sympathize for the Nazi guy?
For heaven's sake I am not sympathizing for him. I'm not going to spell it out again. Re-read my last couple of posts and put what you quoted in full context.
As Jesús once said "Let he who hasn't created an account to post as Hitler, first cast the first stone... oh fuck thats a lot of stones"
Seavie is simply saying “should his kids suffer because their dad a stupid thing”. My answer is probably not and that’s why I wouldn’t have sent shit to his job. If you disagree that’s fine because I also understand why you would feel that way. But, he isn’t sympathizing with CK.
The dude is an imbecile for a) creating a Hitler account and b) using his fucking work email to do so. And while I have no idea if he is a Nazi sympathizer, I also have no idea whether or not he isn’t. Not going to assume one way or another. As for “his family” thing, someone having a family does not prevent them from having consequences. Almost every asshole who does asshole things has some sort of family that suffers because of their awfulness. I’m not going to consider an asshole’s family any more than the minimal amount said asshole considered them before doing whatever abhorrent thing they did.
Seemed like most of original posts on the topic seemed more “he’s not a real Nazi” were the more important fact of fucking over his family. Scroll back up and reread his first post about “feeding his family” and then the next 3 posts about “not being a real Nazi”. Pretty sympathetic IMO.
That Bama Is Better guy reminded everyone around here how ruthless we used to be and in a lot of ways that’s the true meaning of Christmas
Quoting the part I agree with, for clarity's sake. The rest, no I have a different viewpoint but that doesn't mean I'm sympathizing with the guy. I don't disagree that him having a family should protect him from consequences. But people this is the internet. Most things here are cheeky and anonymous. Well, unless you're stupid enough to sign up with a work email. It seems like a massive overreach in my opinion but I'm only a self-professed king of threads... Not an actual one.
Put it in the larger context. I didn't spell it all out initially because I never imagined I'd have to clarify something this much. If he's not a real Nazi, his kids potentially had their lives affected over some internet drama. That, while indefensible, shouldn't have resulted in affecting innocent bystanders (his kids).
A Georgia fan pretending to be an Alabama fan to mess around is cheeky. Pretending to be a Nazi is not by any stretch of the imagination. In no way is that acceptable and while I personally wouldn’t send something to his employer about it, I certainly don’t care if someone else does.
I’m just giving my opinion on what I thought Seavie felt. I also said I know why you feel that way you do. I’m not defending anyone certainly not CK.
