Gents...

When you join the LEMB, you tick a box to say that you agree to abide by the rules as set out in the welcome email. One of the most important parts of the welcome is the following section of text:

Quote

VERY IMPORTANT - Please note that this list in no way promotes or agrees with the Nazi atrocities, ideals and actions perpetrated during the 1939-45 war. It is purely a discussion group dedicated to the weapons, tactics and personnel of Luftwaffe aerial warfare during the life of the Third Reich.

First and foremost, it certainly has nothing to do with any form of denial for what we all know happened. The the memory of all that suffered at the hands of the Nazi regime will never be and should never be forgotten. The fact that we choose not to talk about it here will never change that either...

In addition, this paragraph is as clear and night follows day. If you are in any way considering posting something that runs against the spirit of the paragraph above, please can I ask that you do not post. If the thread in not about aircraft, weapons, tactics or specific personnel serving with the Luftwaffe, then please do not post. If the post is in any way emotive, please do not post. This same also applies if your considering to reply to a post that you feel goes against the same spirit. In this instance, please PM me first and I will be happy to help with the validity of the post and deal with it (and the poster) in the appropriate manner.

Its also worth remembering that we (me and the mods) are not here all of the time, so sometimes comments get posted and remain visible before we've have a chance to either unapprove them or delete them completely. If this is the case and a post appears which you feel is even remotely of a political nature, please can I ask you resist the temptation to post and send me or one of the moderation team a Private Message making us aware of your concerns? One of the many things I'm proud of with the LEMB is that it very rarely descends into the anarchy we see all to often elsewhere.

Finally, please let me make one thin very clear, I will not allow this to happen and will take firm action against any member who decides to post against the spirit of the paragraph above. If any member has any problem understanding this, please feel free to PM me and I'll be happy to discuss the issue further.
