Please spell my name correctly.

Ok, you have admitted that Poland totally invented space travel, so in reward for your recognition, I will spell your name correctly. :)

We should probably just ignore Domen from here on out. I mean in every thread. Even Domen can't post to himself infinitely.

OK, I understand that it is more comfortable for you to remain ignoramus about events you are discussing, because they are "Polish events".

So please do not read my posts in which I quote primary sources about discussed events, because you might learn something about them if you do.

Of course a massive number of up to date reports by various units of the Polish army is not a source, because this is Polish army.

Well, his point kind of is that you violate the maxim of quantity. When you start throwing around walls of texts in a casual discussion, it annoys people. It would perhaps be better to write in concise short paragraphs, summarize your arguments, and only provide links to sources if necessary.

Not only that, but he claims the whole "West" is ignorant and stupid because a German history specialist doesn't know the history of his own very, very special little state, which is so special because he was born there. Ironic because he's denied that Poland is in Eastern Europe and has argued that it belongs in the West.

You can't reasonably call those who don't specialize in Polish history ignoramuses if they don't know every tiny detail about Poland, any more than I could call a Polish history specialist ignorant for not knowing about, say, Aterui and the Battle of Koromo River.
 
The best summary for this Nazi propaganda, is "Deutsche Rundschau" article from 12 September 1939, which writes about the involvement of British (English) Secret Service agents in "action of murdering Volksdeutsche" in Bromberg:

 


And I am not at all surprised to see one ethnocentric poster defending another's right to post ethnocentric things.

He posts about what he cares about, but I'm puzzled as to why. To promote an appreciation of Poland? If anything, it's backfired. I used to like Poland, but this unrelenting bombardment of all things Polish by a Pole has made me associate Poland with annoyance itself, and likewise with Greece. It's nationalistic, narcissistic ethnocentrism, loving a country and being obsessed with it just because you were born there. This glut of nationalistic posts on Poland and Greece has been noticed all across OT and WH. Others have noticed Polonocentric threadjacking; I recall one instance where Domen hijacked a thread to promote Poland, and someone responded by posting a Polandball picture captioned, "hey guys let's talk about Poland". And VRWC became so tired of a flood of Grecocentric posts that he vowed not to make any America-centric threads (or was it posts?) for a year. In fact, I've already had this exact conversation in another thread, but Domen ignored it.

I'm strongly interested in, even obsessed with body armor, and to a lesser extent with steppe history. I find my own country's history boring, so you won't see me making US-centric threads more than other threads. But neither will you see me say that much about armor and steppe history. That's because I know that most other posters don't care about these things, and that if I keep posting what I like in almost every thread I visit regardless of context and create dozens of threads on these topics, I'll annoy everyone else to the point that they'll hate my interests, and that's no fun.

Not to mention the fact that Domen is the only poster on thes boards perfectly capable of posting three whole pages of posts on his own. I don't mean 60 posts over the course of a large thread. I mean 60 posts in succession. That's no exaggeration; I've seen him do it, and I think you were in that thread too, Phrossack. I know Antilogic and Traitorfish were.

Nationalistic posts are annoying in their own right, as you mention. But Domen's posts on these forums go beyond annoying, and into the "how is this guy still allowed to post" territory. And that's not even worrying about the trolling and flaming that occasionally erupts whenever one doesn't properly kowtow to Poland; I'm referring simply to the fact that he should have racked up enough infraction points for a permaban based on double-posts alone.

You forgot r16, the unsung comic genius of the Colosseum :(

Oh, come now. That's your reply? No denial of your ethnocentrism? No defense of it, even? No rebuttals whatsoever, just a pointless and sarcastic little snap? Come on. I put at least some effort into my post; surely it deserves more than that.

You forgot r16, the unsung comic genius of the Colosseum :(

Yeah, he came to mind, too. But I honestly cannot understand a single one of his posts. :confused:
 
Ok, sorry :/

Well, maybe i can (fittingly) repeat what in passing i mentioned in some other thread which derailed into the same (even more fittingly) :

I am not ethnocentric. I am heliocentric. It is just that my ethnicity is the Helios anyway.

Better? (or worse?) ;)

Dude, you are missing out. He's like a combination of #hotsportstakes for the real world, and the planet's greatest conspiracy theorist.
 
^r16 is indeed a currently undecipherable case, most likely at least.

He could be just "insane".

He might be posing as someone who is insane, because of fear, which in turn might be an "insane" fear.

[various other possibilities]

Or he may even be a computer program trying to communicate.

At any rate i like him, although i too think he is nearly pure conspiracy-minded.

So you're not obsessed with Greece, you just think the world revolves around it?:p
 
I'm starting to hate Poland myself.

Domen's posts can be interesting, but it's like he's Poland bot or something. A lot of it just seems like a barrage of random information about Poland that most people don't care about. In this particular thread a lot of it is applicable, but it could have been presented in a bit less.. feverish fashion.

Some Polish people are obsessed with Poland, yep. I think it's a bit of an inferiority complex. Mind you, I can totally understand it - people outside of Poland don't really seem to know crap about our country - leading a ton of corrections - sort of like behing honestly asked as a Canadian if you live in an igloo. If enough people do it and they're serious - it will start getting on your nerves.

Educating people is not bad per se.. but don't drive a tank of information over people. They will resent you for it.
 
Since we are getting all this into the open, I'd like to apologize for my Polish hijacking back in the day. :p

Looking back, I cringe.

His style is very difficult to parse, and he has a habit of referring to those same conspiracies obliquely, which, since they're batcrap insane conspiracy theories that only exist in his head, make his posts even more difficult to parse. Then, once in a blue moon, he'll actually write a reasonably well-written post that is actually on topic.

I can't tell if he's screwing with us or schizophrenic.
