It is that one regularly encounters posts containing homophobia, racism and misogyny, the vast majority of which go unpunished, despite your laughable claim that the rules are tightly enforced.<br /><br />The likes of Mako 11 and Legion 4 regularly call for mass murder of brown people, while Otto displays a contempt for women that says far more about him than about them. Your own "Harvey Milk" thread allowed the knuckle draggers to spout their views, as did the "What if you woke up..." threads.<br /><br />While the likes of Martin (I fantasise about beating up brown people) Wolverton and Great War Ace, who fantasises about sex with with underage girls, inhabit your site freely, is it any wonder that the vast majority of wargamers regard it and you with utter contempt, especially as the cast majority do not regard paedophilia as something to joke about, unlike you.<br /><br />AS for the free membership received by Kaptain Kobbold, it is obvious to a blind dog that you are giving them away to boost your membership figures.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570039711549278262.post-7768822296271131822016-08-10T18:19:54.059+10:002016-08-10T18:19:54.059+10:00By the way, there's still time left on that su...By the way, there's still time left on that supporting membership I was gifted. Since I'm not a complete arse, and appreciate that plenty of people still enjoy TMP could you please pass the remainder on to some other deserving soul? Off the top of my head (and apologies to anyone who feels slighted) if Ken Lewis of Radioactive Press is still a member, please pass it on to him. He's always been generous with his time and effort in my dealings with him, and I'd like to say thank you in some small way.

It made me feel better about TMP. I mostly visit now for specific information only, as the membership as a whole is extraordinarily knowledgeable.

I have no idea who I could have offended, as I try to be as helpful as I can be to others, and never attack anyone on there. Maybe that's what caused it--I wasn't sufficiently nasty.
