I'm really dissapointed that some of my messages have been deleted in that space shuttle thread. They didn't include cursing, racist remarks, or anything that could be seen as in poor taste. All I did was say that Europe doesn't pull its weight in space travel. That was all I said. Nemesis then disagreed with me, we debated in a polite manner, and then decided it may not be the best place to debate that issue and stopped. There was nothing nasty about it.

And yet a quick look through this board I see people refer to French as "cheese eating monkeys" "eurowimps" and "wimps", and none of these people get any warning like I received despite racist remarks. I think there is one rule for the "regular" people and another for the rest of us.

We just don't like you
Take it to Forum issues or PM.

Maybe the Euro Mod is on duty right now. Sometimes there is just no explaining things.

The French really are cheese eating surrender monkeys though.
