Is this a win? TMP personal attack

[Last Hussar]

I was lucky - I didn't get dawghoused despite criticising the US.

[Orcs]

I, apparently, am a douche.

TMP, proving what the rest of the world suspect about the US may be true for many of it's inhabitants.  (I do know some perfectly reasonable Americans)

Perhaps you should point out to our colonial cousin who insulted you that thier population is 10 times that of Great Britain,  So by the law of averages  just to be considered as equals to us in sporting prowess they have to win 10 times more medals. 

Or you might find it more ammusing to assume he is a Redneck, his house has wheels and suggest that he goes to school today and learns his colours , starting with Gold Siver and Bronze

Also, your original point and the subsequent 'arguments' are irrelevant now.
China leads whichever method is chosen.

Techno- are you suggesting the US ISN'T the greatest country on the planet.  Expect Fox News to start abusing you.

Not necessarily.....

Goodness knows how many ANYONE would have to win to beat Granada then !
There aren't enough different events for another country to do that, are there ?

Seriously though....I enjoy it all...Yeah, I cheer when we get a medal of whatever colour...But I get a buzz when a member of Whateverland does brilliantly too !
That's what the original concept was, wasn't it ?

Cheers - Phil.

[Hertsblue]

Yep, right on the button, Phil. 

[NTM]

I thought people got "dawghoused" for this sort of behaviour on TMP....

All depends on the Ed's mood IMHO

PAH !....
Now the USA have more medals (in total) than China..
Though China lead on the 'Just Gold' table !
Wonder how many times this will change, back and forth, before the closing ceremony !
Cheers - Phil.

Go Mo ... Gold.

Just a few orcs,

I think our colonial cousins might point out that your post graphically illustrates the "Old Country's" slide down the performance table when it comes to maths and geography!   About 313 million to about 63 million doesn't look like 10:1 to me,but then I was brung up when we was taught 'rithmetic, not all this new fangled math'matics business!

You is right - 4.965 to 1........  

[Dave Fielder]

The NBC way of doing the math was an own goal as it put the US behind China. The BBC method put them first.

[Dave Fielder]

I need a douche avec le soap.

[JeffNNN]

One of my minor amusements has been looking at just what utterly stupid things people get dawghoused for on TMP.. Does anyone know why it's been empty for ages.. Is something broken or have American TMP'ers suddenly turned polite?

[Fenton]

I think a lady was banned by TMP because she reported another member for threatening her with physical violence. From memory nothing happened to the person who issued the threat

I use The Wargames website now
http://www.thewargameswebsite.com

[fred.]

Is it not because everyone has left TMP.

[Techno]

Probably Forbes.....I genuinely can't remember the last time I investigated the site.
(Apart from the very odd occasions when one of you lot post a link.)

Not even sure what my password is, anymore.

Cheers - Phil

Ditto Phil, I've been there 3 or 4 times following links in the past year, otherwise can't be bothered. I frequent Lead Adventure Forum quite a bit, a much nicer class of people there to PMT.

[mollinary]

I sympathise with a lot of what people say, but would not abandon the forum because of a proportion of trolling idiots. If you want to find out some esoteric details on subjects like the Seven Years War or the Thirty Years War there are a lot of extremely knowledgable and helpful people around who don't mind sharing their expertise.  So I go in to be educated or, if there are questions on my tiny areas of expertise, to help out.  I certainly wouldn't discourage people from experiencing the jungle that is out there!

PS But it is much nicer on here!
