... Anyway, even if I knew nothing of Hitlerjugend it would not matter. I made a comment about my feelings regarding a documentary I have seen and the moderators on FlyerTalk, in essense that I found both the children in Hitlerjugend and the moderators on FlyerTalk to lack experience (the first on life in general, the latter on moderation and staying at the moral highground a moderator should).

To suggest that I think Hitlerjugend in general has anything to do with FlyerTalk or the moderators (who are adults to my knowledge, whether they act so or not) is completely absurd, and your post illustrates this very well, I think

Ah, you are now providing some insight regarding your original post, in which you wrote "On a side note I watched a documentary on Hitlerjugend last night, and I did draw some lines between that and current events [at FT]." Sorry, but this statement, with no further explanation provided at the time, suggested to me that you did think that Hitlerjugend definitely had something to do with FlyerTalk and the moderators. Maybe I am completely absurd But I'm sure not a mind reader, so I can only take your posts at face value. Maybe you can provide a little more explanantion when you employ inflammatory terms such as Hitlerjugend to describe people or events here on FT.

Just my (absurd) 2 cents

P.S. Any "debate" regarding Hitlerjugend (I prefer to call this a discussion) was started by your choice of the word to describe the current moderator situation at FT.

I don't feel you can use a word like this and then claim no responsibilty for the ensuing "debate".
