I believe that you are not. But there is one other memeber that I am not so sure of. I remember he had the same rhetoric while I was still on Skadi.

2) Saying things like, "I don't hate Poles, just the village idiots on this forum" is against the rules. And even if anyone of you does hate Poles, keep it to yourself.

I do not hate Poles, especially those in night clubs are pretty nifty.
No seriously I do not hate people by their ethnicity, race or anything based on generalisations and stereotypes. I judge them by what the write, with ther objectivness to accept the opposite opinion and various explanation of the same terms, theories and such.

3) From what I understand, the remarks made by Polak in the (now closed) thread, were about where he felt most Poles and most of the world thinks Croatia lies-- The Balkans. He wasn't saying he shared these views. This was only his opinion, which I agreed with. We did not say "you Croats are Balkanoids", or anything even similar to that.

I tried to explain in that thread for about 10 times I believe what the term 'Balkans' means in geopolitical, historical, geographical and cultural sense....yet some members continued repeating the same thing all over againa and again. I find that annoying. I agree with you completly.

4) Please re-read the entire thread if you have to, and see where the insults actually began
|
It will also be clear that I made no insults, threats or anything against the rules although I was accused of doing so.

5) In the future, and this goes for everyone, if you feel you or your nation has been directly singled out and maliciously insulted, I suggest you contact a staff member, or use the 'report bad post' button, instead of throwing around insults.

Oh believe me...I will.

Well if you value honesty I have one point to make on this beautifully constructed sentence. You don't believe in twisting the truth? Well why do you avoid and ignore facts that are so clear and present? I made at least dozen of times clear explanationa of the term, the position of Croats on the subject and it's origins...yet you decided to disregarded what you saw fit and started making rather rude remarks and rather offensive tone.
And of course do not take this as an offence like you did before with my rather general statement but do take it as a constructive critic.....if we are going to be honest right?
Btw. I forgot to add - let's at least one time have a constructive discussion where everyone will say his opinion and will actually read and acceppt the other person's opinions.
