Hey **askeptic** , I’ve been posting a lot to the thread you referred to. You’re still being a dumbass. I suppose [this guy](http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/1231) is a Nazi? And [this one?](http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/1785)[And him?](http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/133579)[And him?](http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/395966)[And don’t forget this one.](http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/235015) **Millen** is advocating a lot of views that are very, very stupid, but there’s no reason to think he’s a Nazi and nothing so far to suggest he’s lying when he says he’s not one. Pick on that instead of nitpitcking a the explanation of part of his handle. ---

This is a thread about and for Nazis, not sexists. You may start by noticing that I said those links didn’t lead to ‘our’ **askeptic** , who has proudly declared _him_self to be NOT Jewish. Before anyone gets any bright ideas, allow me to further demonstrate the futility of Googling usernames… [This](http://users.ign.com/about/Gluteus-Maximus) has nothing to do with _moi_, for example, nor has [this](http://www.cartoonstock.com/directory/g/gluteus_maximus.asp) (I don’t have hair, don’t smoke, and I try to stay out of the direct sunlight as much as possible… oh, yeah… and I don’t need no stinking wine glass.) [This](http://kidshealth.org/kid/word/g/word_gluteus_maximus.html), however, is in the ballpark. [The real me!](http://www.jakekeating.com/thesis/screens/gluteus/) Click the thumbnails to enlarge.

It’s short for “Nationalsozialist” (“National” is pronounced like “Nazional” in German) Which would make it an **acronym** - a word formed from the first or first few letters of several words (e.g., RADAR for radio detecting and ranging). As in, “You are correct because while acronyms and initialisms are written with all capital letters …” ---

Or, on reflection, maybe not. Since the contraction only exists in English and wasn’t used by Germans perhaps your explanation is correct. ---

In Chinese culture, 8 is associated with good luck. Two 8s are considered particularly lucky, as in doubling or squaring your good fortune. Years ago, when I lived in Hawaii, I used to walk past a Chinese restaurant on Keeamoku Street whose name was Something-Or-Other88. Who’d a thunk they were secretly in league with the Nazis? Musta been the local White Nationalist Headquarters! :rolleyes: **askeptic** , you’re sure not acting like one. CJ ---

> [@Libertarian](#): > > Oh yeah, you’d like me to write it out, wouldn’t you! Obviously, Askeptic and myself are the only non-Nazis in here. Heh. I certainly don’t qualify: I chose “Fenris” back in my BBS days when I was on a Norse mythology kick[sup]1[/sup]. Little did I know that it was a very popular choice amongst the goosestepping and swastikas set as well. We even had a Stormfrontie come over posting as “Fenris1” or somesuch. So, by **askeptic** [sup]2[/sup]'s “logic”[sup]3[/sup]since my name has a connection somewhere to Nazism, I guess I’ve been fooling you guys all along and I’m not really Jewish and I _am_ a Nazi. What a shock to my parents! :eek: Fenris [sup]1[/sup]I’ve always told you guys that that Norse mythology kick was triggered by a wonderful run of the THOR comic[sup]4[/sup] by Roy Thomas (roughly issues 170-200), but _how do you know I’m not lying_??? [sup]2[/sup]Also, has anyone noticed that our good buddy **askeptic** has implied several times that he fought in WW2? Pretty good grasp of modern slang and idiom for an 80 year old. [sup]3[/sup]Aren’t skeptics supposed to pride themselves on evaluating things based on the facts? HmmmMMmm. [sup]4[/sup]Marvel Comics, when run by Martin Goodman (Jewish–or so he _said_), with writer Stan Lee (Leiber) (Jewish–or so he _said_), and artist Jack Kirby (Jewish–or so he _said_), created the comic THOR. Norse characters are _regularly_ used by pro-Nazi types. Ergo Marvel Comics is pro-Nazi.[sup]5[/sup] [sup]5[/sup]Me, Stan Lee, Jack Kirby Martin Goodman…there must be a whole secret pro-Nazi Jewish cabal! :eek: :rolleyes: ---

Oh Fenris, will your humor based around the faulty logic of others ever cease! I sure hope not! It is as comic as a Jughead strip, as clever as a Captain named Captain Clever, and as Sharp as a sharpened fork! Fenris, here’s a cake. Desmostylus did not like it. ---

Well, it is quite clear from his responses so far that despite his denials, **askeptic** is intent on behving like a troll, so after this post I’m outta here. To the OP: hey, numbnuts, when I first joined this board, my screen name was… **Rocket88** (gasp) Care to accuse me of being a Nazi, or NAZI as you prefer? Care to back it up with some fucking evidence? > [@](#): > > If you say he is not a NAZI and show me why, then I will apologize. Until then, fuck you and your lame ass defense of NAZI’s. Doesn’t matter, shitbrain. Even if he was a NAZI, he was specifically invited to post to the thread in question. If anything, you should be Pitting **BrainGlutton** , who launched the thread in the first place. Also, fuckhead, if you have actually have the comprehension skills to read through the thread in question, which I seriously doubt, you may note that I have posted twice there, both times disagreeing with the premise of inviting white nationalists to speak out here, and once asking that the OP consider having the thread closed. My father was on the scene during the liberation of at least two concentration camps near the end of WWII. I know what a Nazi is, you insignificant bastard, and you are cordially invited to come on down to The Woodlands, TX and kiss my ass in the middle of Sawdust Road. ---
