I never once claimed to agree with him, because I don't agree with him on the minority forum manipulation issue. I won't go into the reasons for that now because it's way too complicated for you to understand.
Anyway, carry on talking yourself into a corner.
Did you know that your habit of putting me down in order to try and build yourself up is a sign of an inferiority complex?
I really don't mean to embarrass you and make you feel insecure. But you really need to stop it, because there are a lot of people that are aware of that fact. It sort of leaves you exposed and makes you look less intelligent than you are trying to present yourself to the world.
By the way, I think your above words fit you better than they do me.

Friedrich Krupp started his steel foundry in 1810, and the organisation still exists today as Thyssen Krupp Stahl AG. Saying that something is as hard as Krupp steel was around long before the Nazis used it. You also mentioned my avatar, who happens to be Otto von Bismarck who became chancellor of Germany in 1871.
What connection does this have to the Nazis, other than those that you have imposed yourself?

I'm sure those references weren't lost on you.
I was pretty sure the pic was Bismarck and the only Bismarck from the nazi era is the fearsome battleship named after the iron chancellor.
Originally posted by hopscotchThanks for the history lesson, but why do you feel the need to defend steel? Anything to do with this? "Krupp was tried at the Krupp Trial held after World War II in Nuremberg following the main Nuremberg trials. He and his co-defendants were convicted of using forced slave labour, and condemnded to 12 years on prison and the “forfeiture of all [his] property both real and personal.”

My forum title, avatar, and location do not have any Nazi implications in my mind as I am currently taking an avid interest in 19th century German history, and I feel that you have insinuated otherwise to be grossly offensive to me.
What are you doing online anyway? Shouldn't you be off burning books somewhere?
Originally posted by cashthetrashI wasn't defending steel. I like that you're trying to keep up, though... good job!

"I'm the Devil, I love metal
Check this riff, it's hot and tasty
I'm the Devil, I can do what I want
Whatever I've got, I'm gonna flaunt
There's never been a rock off that I've ever lost
I can't wait to take Kage back to Hell
I'm gonna fill him with my hot demon gel
I'll make him squeal like my Scarlet Pimpernel"
