I'm fairly new to forums - what IS a Hitler thread?

Steve, that guy took the pet with SK cos SK went straight off in the deep end and told him it was spam and to delete it. At no point did he mention being annoyed with the Hitler thing!

Whilst I agree that people should be selective when they use the term, ie, not with newbies who don't get it, I disagree that your example is a good one for this discussion. So there. And I am ALWAYS right because I am a girl and that is the law. Comprehende?

I interpreted it as being not just about the "Hitler" calling but also about other things. However that discussion was done at the time and maybe you're right and that is not the best example to use in this discussion but it was the one that first sprang to mind. I herby request the reference be stricken from the record.

I however standby my statement that the way in which some jump at the opportunity to shout "Hitler" at a repost is not always the best way to go about pointing something like that out. For if it was maybe we wouldn't have this thread to explain it?

Dave that is a fantastic example. There are something's that are universal and some that are not, and anyone new to a forum can take sometime to pick up on all the little in jokes but the understanding of them becomes easier in the correct context. If I were to post something up that had been posted before and someone shouted "Diesel Blackbird" at me I would think WTF, but if I posted that I put two stroke oil in a four stroke engine and someone replied "like a Diesel Blackbird" that might give me some clue as to what the joke is. To a new user apparently random posting of "Hitler" makes very little sense.

I also feel this is an ideal opportunity to remind people that Stretchie recently put Diesel in his Blackbird.
