Dear Moderator, It's one thing to "We take threats of physical harm very seriously," but another to actualize it. We are all anonymous persona on A2K; most of the people do not know where another lives. Some people now know where Rae and Ashman lives, but I doubt very much those folks are in any danger - not any more so than the man on the street. I still think it was a "over-reaction" to ban henrygreen. That's my humble opinion. c.i.

Yeah, Boss, i know what you mean . . . the Germans introduced education and music to this country ? ! ? ! ? I thought that was out there myself, but i guess i didn't wanna be the first to say it . . .
anastasia, I just remember reading a book by a black Stanford professor on the subject of the different cultures that make up the US; their contributions, history of immigration, eocnomics, and other interesting info. I tried a quick Google search, but could nothing. I'll continue my search, but can't promise anything. c.i.
<g> no - I was just wondering, maybe you meant universities or something. I'm sure the pilgrims brought a teacher?

I find it rather difficult to associate in my mind either Harvard University or Yale with the Germans.
"Yale," from the Low German word for "blue-blooded nepotism." Or is that "Dartmouth"? I can never keep my old German straight...
Plat Deutch, low German, don't get no lower than when you hear it spoken in the shrubbery . . .
Don't fret Lovey, it's a slur against shrubbery . . . you know, Bushes
When you decide to take offense, even where none was meant, there's just no stoppin' you, is there?

i'd've thunk the language of sappho was the only one for those occasions...
You may wish to participate in the following thread devoted to the henrygreen situation:
ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN AGAINST MEMBER henrygreen
Even though I posted my total support for dismissing henrygreen in that thread, I am still more interested in discussing Sapphic rites here....
Mr Green did make specific threats against MysteryMan in another thread - I think they have also been pulled. CI - I'd just like to point out that he'd been on for about a week and it was out of hand. He can go over to ABUZZ if he wants to indulge that sort of behaviour.
Setanta, you reckon the family name was originally "Busch"?
Mr Still, I must've missed those 'specific threats against MysteryMan.' What I saw in henrygreen was a somewhat irrational, angry, individual, with an above average ability to vocalize very succinctly the inhumanity of Germans and Americans - harboring on obsession. As for personal invectives, I saw some from him, and some from other participants, but nothing that bordered on banishment. Understanding his anger, I would not have taken any threats from him as a 'real' threat. After all, he seeks the total destruction of the US for the sins of the few; not very rational in my mind. I also saw his ability to rankle people. I just thought he brought another extreme side to our discussion, and never felt threatened by him. c.i.
Firstly, Having read thru most of this thread, I think HenryPuke should be submitted as a one man guinea pig too see what really happens when Armageddon gets here.
Secondly, Why is he hiding his nationality and the country he lives in.
Thirdly, I as a Brit feel I have not been treated fairly by Henry, he hasn't, as far as I can see slagged off the UK once and we've killed, raped, pillaged and plundered the planet on a wholesale basis. But then perhaps Henry is a myopic Brit and has his dick stuck up his own backside.
Don't keep it all pent up inside, OAK, tell us how you really feel . . .
