Good grief
Yes we know it is about someone trying to sell toy soldiers.
We know tht we are supposed to have fun with them.
We don't need to be told by a bunch of nappyheads.

Being spoon fed pre digested pap because it is, "cool and nutritious" is what is making people vomit bile.

Really? 'cause what's making me vomit bile is being called a nappyhead by a winged cat. YMMV.

Serves you right for sticking up for the condescending drivel that GW poop on people and for stating the bleeding obvious

Don't fret am only leg pulling.

Chibi Bodge-Battle:

You are aware that is a racial slur, right?

No it is not man
Nappy = what babies wear and oft gakkfilled.
If you wish to misconstrue that into a racial attack, the problem is with your perception not mine.

I have never yet referred to someone as raghead or similar as a racial attack and have no intention of starting now.

American English, Nappyhead is a racial slur towards those of African descent.

British English, Nappyhead means a person wearing a baby diaper on their head, thus meaning gak for brains.

One is a racial slur, the other is a derogatory comment; either should not be tolerated. Chibi, please see rule #1 of the forums.

I was referring to the gakk heads who spout trivail tosh on the Newsletter in discussion

If they wish to talk such nonsense they should expect the flak

GW hate threads always devolve into the pro-GW camp and the anti-GW camp. Personally, to me, GW is a medium-size corporation that makes questionable business decisions but continues to bump along fairly well for whatever reason; kind of like the semi-slowed cousin that many people have in their families...you don't know how exactly he gets through life but he seems to be doing ok; not great, but making it.

There's really no point in getting bent out of shape. This thread will die soon enough, like they all do because at the end of the day, GW is making the plastic crack that we're all addicted to irregardless of whether they afore mentioned cousin or not..

Whose getting bent out of shape?
The thread is taking the pee out of frankly silly communications put out by GW.

It was humorous and light hearted until some, ironically, over serious chaps dipped their oars in, telling people to chill out.
Not only was it totally unecessary, but condescending and platitudinous. I find such an attitude rather rude. Remember Rule #1.

There's taking the piss and then there's name calling; whatever, the floor (figuratively speaking) is all yours.

Yes it is, please don't use it here in future.

It seems what we have here is a failure to communicate, and a thread that is going nowhere good no, best we let this one die.

I'm sure there's a message or a moral here somewhere, but lets' forgive and forget here and put this down to transatlantic misunderstandings.
