Agreed, it's not a great username is it ? However, there is a bloke on here who has named himself after "Chairman Mao", a man who killed an estimated 50 million !

Major, I don't think there is any need for you to apologise or call yourself an arse. Its more than reasonable to be uncomfortable with the username...when you combine it with the avatar I am sure many will be offended. OP - I am all for freedom of speech and expression but in this instance I would suggest a change of both username and avatar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Septic Peg Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Like the meme. Not liking the username and avatar. Did you do GCSE History at secondary school @Gestapo? I did. And Himmler was an absolute cockwomble of the highest degree and that's using mild language. Please think about a change. I agree with freedom of speech but sometimes, you should express your feelings with diplomacy and tact. 2 things (amongst others) that Heinrich Himmler lacked.

I think the reason both those usernames are bypassed are because not many realise the connotation. Most people in the UK know about the Holocaust.

A mass murderer is a mass murderer, irrespective of their politics. All three posters should be ashamed, all three should change their user names.

You have not once questioned their user names yet jump on the bandwagon with Gestapo. Ignorance is bliss. I think all should be banned including Gestapo and no exceptions. It's about time this forum had a shake up. Tbf, I've never noticed their names before. I rarely look at usernames. Attack the post, not the poster. And I don't pretend to be a font of knowledge in Chinese and Korean history. I've had a Google now though and agree. Names should be changed.

Major Isewater Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I've given this some thought and I just think that the reason why I'm not happy with the OP is that he seems serious and with, the avatar, a bit nasty . The two other posters are clearly mocking their Characters in a cartoon like fashion . Eddie Hitler is funny being the character in the Young Ones.

Gakoe Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Hundred percent honest question, I'm not one for wum's. Are people genuinely offended by this guys username? Or do we feel that we 'should' be offended? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention the potential embarrassement for our two German players . No I just feel very awkward with this poster . I have tried to explain why.

I'm in agreement, just too many connotations that are too close to the bone and for no other reason than to provoke a response. If you want to fight for free speech then: 1. Not the name or avatar to use, unless you're trying to really cause a ruckus. 2. A football forum really isn't the place to do it. Wheres Di'Canio managing nowadays? I'm sure ill judged rather than malicious but a change would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcusX Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 If you are offended by someone's username on a bloody Internet forum you need to step away from the keyboard and go get some fresh air or something.

First we say ' oh it's only a football forum ' then We say , " it's only some nutter on the internet " then Little by little it becomes acceptable. Look what's happening in the USA where people now feel it's ok to be openly racist thanks to Trump . Freedom comes with responsibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
