Probably **H** itler, **t** he **N** ational **S** ocialist. Another closet Nazi. **askeptic** was right – they’re everywhere. Hell, my last name is German. And we _all_ know what that means.

Note: the above is a joke. I’m certain that **htns** is a perfectly fine person, his slightly odd obsession with the Dvorak keyboard notwithstanding. And my last name isn’t really German.

But Hasenpfeffer is a perfectly normal German last name?

signed:

Alois Schicklgruber

P.S.: That’s not **my** real name either, and a gold star sticker to anyone who figures out the relevance of that name to A.H. and the National Sozialistische Deutsche Arbeiter Partei

Hitler’s father.

**Hassenpfeffer** isn’t my last name anymore than **Bambi** is my first. It’s not even the right gender. I am ethnically German, but my IRL last name doesn’t reflect that.

I kind of guessed that. But it’s a really cool username. Reminds me of “Laverne and Shirley” whenever I see it. And I owe you a gold star sticker for getting the Schicklgruber reference right.

I would have felt differently if I didn’t make an unfortunate visit to their internet hometown. I can’t imagine that it is a board where someone with Millen’s stated views would post. It would be like finding that someone who claims to have vague sympathies with Palestinians sends money to Hezbollah.

As my two previous pittings of fellow dopers indicates I am loath to see someone called a racist without just provocation. Nazi requires an even stricter standard for me to stomach the label. In my opinion the circumstantial evidence that Millen was indeed a Nazi, or as close as we get to one among these meatheads, was convincing. My opinon would change were it to be shown that the racist invasion was not prompted by Millen’s participation in the original thread.

On a lighter note I couldn’t believe how many of our user names are replicated in their world. Among their prominent posters is a Fenris, Coldfire, MuadDib, and Winston Smith. I must stress I did not, would not, and would implore that no one from here, should post on a racist board. I was just trying to make a fair judgement as to the veracity of those who posted here.

Based on his posting here taken in a vacuum, I’d disagree. but I hadn’t realized he was a Stormfrontie, in which case I’m considerably more skeptical of his claims than I was.

Heh–their Fenris came over here during or just after the first Stormfront invasion and signed up as “Fenris01” or “Fenris1” for a while, leading to no little confusion and concern until The Powers That Be made him change his name.

Thought I’d do a quick search of the Stormfront message board, but it seems that **Millen88** , if he is a member, uses a different username there.

I did find a thread there linking to the GD ‘defend white supremacy’ thread and it is quite incredible to read - most of the participants are of the opinion that dopers are closed-minded, one of them even claimed that posts (made here at the SDMB) would be edited to make a mockery of the poster. There’s a hell of a lot of paranoia and projection in that place.

Not paraphrasing; conflating. I was thinking of _I Fought The Law (and the Law Won)_ by Sonny Curtis, the guitarist in the Bobby Fuller Four (1965). It’s also been done by Bryan Adams, by the Clash, by the Dead Kennedys, and no doubt many more. Mix that with a brainfart about reggae and you get my previous post.

Oh, my – is stupidity catching? :eek:

Although I must say, it would be interesting to hear a Bob Marley version of that song.

In an attempt to end this silly thread, that has completely ignored the issues I originally brought up, and instead heaped less than witty insults upon me, let me just clarify:

1. I did not imply that anyone useing 88 was a Nazi, but that when one who espouses whit supremisist beliefs useses it it seems too much of coincedence.

2. I did not suggest that he should not be allowed to post his beliefs.

3. I felt it would be improper to interject into the ongoing thread and therefore addresssed my concerns in the pit.

4. I do not suggest that anything he professed was in itself worthy of the charge of Nazism but that combined with a veiled reference to Hitler, I suspected that the true nature of his beliefs were based in Nazism.

Since so many of you took offence at my voicing my suspicions here, I apologize.

Annyone want to say this guy is not a fascist? I think it is funny as hell that the two most voiceferous critics of me, have since started threads (one of them locked) against the very thing I was ranting about.

I do not suggest that we ban Nazi’s but that we point them out and run them off with intelligent and caustic argument. I suggest that we not do as Ilsa Lund, Fenris, Marley23, gluteus maximus, NHIBI and others have done. That is we should not defend them. We should let them defend themselves.

What, with completely unjustified posts by you like those in [ss500’s](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=244743) GQ thread? I was going to pit you for that, not that I believed it would make any difference. Thankfully you’ve been warned and will have to keep your name policing to the pit.

If you have a problem with something that someone says, then fair enough. Otherwise (and I know you won’t do this, but here’s hoping), STFU.

Looks like you just did. I would certainly not deny you the right to tell me to STFU. I guess you did not see where I apologized to ss500 about 10 minutes after my admittedly innapropriate comment. It was late, and the stormfront assault had just begun. I was overly sensitive and apologized.

Fuck you, you stupid dipshit. I’ve been arguing with these guys in GD since **BrainGlutton** ’s thread start, and I’ve posted in many of those that followed. Where the fuck have you been, you hypocrite? The few posts you’ve made to that one thread have consisted of moronic drivel like “As long as they don’t rent the trailer next to yours, right? (or the compound for that matter).” That’s not arguing with them, it’s just wasting space. You’ve managed to devote PLENTY of time to this fucking thread, though. Might I suggest you’ve spent more time here than using intelligent and caustic argument (as I’ve actually done, and as you say we should do) because you don’t have the intelligence to do so? Asshole.

Are we _still_ doing this? :rolleyes:  
You _do_ realize, don’t you, that it’s entirely possible to be a fascist without being a Nazi? Do you understand the difference? (I’m neither, by the way)

This post of yours is pretty funny, considering how you started out being all sensitive about ‘naming names’…

I never defended your ‘encoded’ pittees. If you’d bothered to read the entire thread, you’d have noticed that I even defended you a couple of times when false or misleading comments were made about you. You’re welcome.

That, except for this post you’re reading now, is the complete list of my posts in this thread. Not once did I defend Nazis, bigots, racists, You-Name-the-Color-of-Your-Choice Supremacists, the KKK, the John Birch Society, the Pope, Mickey Mouse, Jerry Falwell, Charles Manson, The Sopranos, The Three Tenors, the Scientologists, Larry Flint, George Wallace, Annette Funicello, The Judean Peoples’ Front, Al Sharpton, Barbara Walters, the Teletubbies, Pee Wee Herman, or any of those guys.

Your main problem is you just can’t keep it on track. Do you realize how similar a lot of your responses in this thread seem to those of the Stormfront clowns that got themselves banned?  
I think you were just disappointed that none of the ‘real’ Nazis took your bait.
