Hello!



A few minutes ago I stumbled accross this folder:

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=95264
Description: "aircraft of the new german reich"

Following the Up button in the folder thread I also found this:

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=82222
"vehicles of Vereinigte Faschistische Staaten des Neues Reichs"

And I wonder: What on earth do moderators on BrickShelf think when they pass
something like this? Well, of course those galleries are "safe for kids" since
there is no nudity included...

But such Nazi-romanticism is not safe for adults at all. Believe me. There are
more than enough idiots in Germany and maybe elsewhere as well who wish back a
"New (German) Reich". But the old German Reich is nothing a reasonable person
would ever romanticise about. Only war-glorifying lunatics and moronic racists
would deny the appaling facts of the gone fascistic German Reich and make fun
about it or portray it in toys. Unless they make an aestheticised statement
_against_ war and fascism that is. (Like that Polish artist did with the KZ sets
made of LEGO bricks a few years ago. He is not a fascist of course.)

Besides this the clause "vehicles of Vereinigte Faschistische Staaten des Neues
Reichs" is grammatically incorrect.

So, to cut a long story short: I'm totally against the censorship thing on
BrickShelf. In cases like this, though, as we have the moderators anyway, they
should act responsible and not pass every crap just because it's "safe for
kids".

If anybody cares about my post and wish to reply they may set FUT what newsgroup
they think is appropriate.

Simply put: The job of the moderators is not to expunge content YOU may find
politically inappropriate or in poor taste. They merely enforce the content and
usage guidelines set forth by BrickShelf. As for the "Iron Reich" glorifying
Nazism, I'd say that it's not at all the case. It appears to be a parody of both
Fascism and certain elements of the Soviet Union. It's a joke, lighten up.
