I think the Wolfsangel is somewhat illegal in Ukraine. Also most Ukrainian nationalists tend to not be huge fans of Nazis, which is why part of their project is obscuring Nazi collaboration in Ukraine.

Azov Battalion (T-H-L) (mentioned in the above Hitchens article)

Interesting thread (but (unfortunately) not very surprising)

Peter Hitchens (T-H-L) (yeah, I know: Daily Mail(!)) had some interesting observations link.

Any Wolfsangel (T-H-L) signs?

The Wikimedia Foundation sucks ass.

Always has. Always will.

Sadly, I agree with that.
If anything can/will kill wikipedia, it is the horrific mismanagement of the WMF.

Ah memories:
I have been on the net since .....forever, but the Bogdanoff affair anno 2005 was my very first introduction to the net as one giant MMOG (T-H-L)-place.

What none of those sources mentions, was the Bogdanoff twins extreme socking on en.wikipedia back in the day, starting ca 2005. The Bogdanov affair has no less than 10 talk-pages archived (that number of talk-pages is usually reserved for IP-area, or American policy-area). It ended in the wholesale ...

We really should make a translator for "Jimbo-speech"; eg:

So, pointing out Mr. Icewhiz's doxing activities would at best be preaching to the choir.

Now, if somebody doxxed Mr. Icewhiz; that might be very interesting, indeed!

You have a slight obsession with Icewhiz. If he really harassed you as much as you say ( § ), wouldn't you want to avoid drawing his attention again?

Folks - I'm urging you not to supply Icewhiz with more hints about how he may have been busted. Please.

Why are you worried about linking your real name to Icewhiz if you're definitely not him? Tell Arbcom privately.
