[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 2878220, member: 423"] Maybe I didn't read the whole thing originally, but from what I understand, it started over incorrect dates of deployment. Not claiming to be something he wasn't. Vietnam was 40 years ago. If someone was off by 5, 10 years about when they were somewhere, who cares? My understanding of Stolen Valor is someone claiming an award, achievement, rank, service or whatever that they didn't achieve. Basic math says that someone who was 18 during Vietnam is close to 60 minimum now. I have trouble remembering my brother's and sisters' birthdays and ages. Don't ask me about when they did this or that. And I'm barely 30. I don't understand the grudge match over such a slight. Get over yourselves. As far as moderation, if people would be considerate, and go to the (or any) mod in private, it would most likely be dealt with much easier. I have done so on multiple occasions. Some of these (ex)members are like Westboro Church, they jab and poke until they provoke something, and then scream foul. I have about as much respect for them as the Westboro people. [/QUOTE]
