Good day gentlemen
first let me thank all the members that showed their support for me and others that suffered a harsh treatment over the course of this year, I also want to thank them for their commitment despite the danger that such dedication brought over them, a commitment that was not only to help some members but also to help the club to keep it alive through its darkest hours and to bring it back to its good old glories days.
These people have my never ending gratitude. :frenchsalute:

These were really some dark months that fortunately now lay behind me, not only because of me being illegal banned but also because of me realizing how much I got used to this community despite the fact that my final weeks were a constant fight to protect the membership.
I very well remember the good times I had here with a lot of members on the forum, the club and in the games.
But the memory and the support of others kept me upright and my fighting spirit high, thanks again to all the people supported me in all these dark months.

:frenchvive1: It's simply fantastic to be back! :frenchvive:


And now onto what we are here for!!!

Let's please keep the post CIVIL and do not harp on the past, but work towards the future of the club.

There is absolutely no need to bring up the PAST, even though it is tempting. :frenchwink:

or whatever you real name is

Something that may be foreign to you

I can assure you Scott and Christian are 2 different people. One lives in the USA while the other is in Germany. :wink:

Thanks for the warm welcome gentlemen!!! :frenchsalute:

@John Corbin
Well you picked the short straw so I guess you had luck with St Helena, could also have been Siberia. :mrgreen:

@Clifton Seeney
Sure we can add the game, I'll do it when I get into the DOR.

@Scott Ludwig
Well they can think what they want now that they are free, and finally we don't have to share the same body anymore, was simply too cramped anyway. :lol:

@Ernie Sands
Indeed, there is a lot work ahead for many of us, I guess a lot things have to be solved now with all the empty positions and the confusion that was left behind. We can delight in the past if all this is done and I'm sure we can really laugh about it by then.

@Art Ozols
Christian Hecht was and will ever be my real name, never thought of entering this club with any fake name.
And Scott and me are as much the same person as Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny Devito are twins, that was a silly good night tale invented by some mad men, well unless Scott has more money, booze and woman than me I'm happy to be him! :frenchlol:
And the policy of Honesty was my guiding star through all the dark months that I and all other battled for the membership, we didn't battle because we were bored.
I can very well distinguish honesty and dishonesty, I ensure you that, and that is why I took up the fight.
If you need more prove send me a PM I'm sure we can figure something out.

I apologize Art for my cheap shot I took in this post, but I wished to do so, as when my name was being smeared through the mud last spring in the war room, I couldn't defend myself. At least now I can laugh about it.

Let's put this matter to rest once and for all, using the same evidence that was used against Christian and I, in this post and then I'll show more too: viewtopic.php?f=42&t=14263

Two links used there are the most important:

http://forums.gamesquad.com/archive/ind ... t-660.html

Notice the date of the post: 21 Oct 02 I was never on any wargaming site until I came to these clubs in 2003.

The other one: http://riseofflight.com/forum/viewtopic ... 83&start=0

I have never, ever been into any type of flight simulator games.

Another thing to note, about the Blitz Wargaming Club site, when you sign up for their site, you cannot use any proxy servers to join (ie public libraries, internet coffee shops, or IP masking services) so I would have had to been in Germany where Christian is to register that account, three years prior to me joining the Blitz. I don't have a passport. :P Then I would have had to been here in the US to register myself three years after him, which that I was. How do I know this, because I know the admins there. :) Andy Moss can verify what I say about this. I network with one of the admins there when I have someone who joins the CCC that looks like a fake enlistment, to check with them. That's how I know this of the Blitz.

Also do a Google search for Christian's username BigDuke66, you will see all the returns you get in places I have no idea what they are about. I would have had to created this personality over 12 years ago and actively used that name all over the web, even before I joined these clubs. Who has time for that?? I can't even keep up with my own life, let alone help Christian with his. :P I was in graduate school at the time, moved several different states and jobs, had vast periods where I did not have access to the internet or a working PC. Also BigDuke66 makes no sense for any type of username I would use on a forum.

This all assumes that I would of created Christian, before I knew about these wargaming clubs, with the intent of having him join years and years later, to get involved in a series of events that had yet to happen, with folks I didn't know at the time. It is absurd when you think about it!! :)

Also, I can't write, read or speak German for the life of me. I can't even master English grammar let alone German grammar, you ever see how German grammar works?? :P I took 5 years of German, 4 in high school and 1 in college. I had to get the help of my professor in college to squeak by with a C and she told me to wait on the next class, as it was an all reading, writing and speaking one, as they were going to drop that requirement, which they did, so I didn't have to suffer through it. Thank God! I know a lot of German words, I know a lot of German military terms, as I love my Prussian history, but I can't string a sentence together properly and can usually only pick out some key words to understand a vague meaning of the sentence. My mind isn't geared for learning new languages, let alone English.

What happened last spring with the mass emails and unknown to me at all, when Christian sent his, was I was in the process of moving some of my family across country in a very stressful situation, my one in law, who was a good person & parent, decided to be neither and go off and start blatantly and openly cheat on my sibling So being the good brother & Godfather I was, when this all happened, I was in the middle of taking them cross country to give them some space for a while. So it was a terrible time. When this all happened, this event and all of the events in that time period, I was locked out of the forums, without notice, with the other guys who were, unable to defend myself from anything. So I decided to say goodbye and write the mass email I did. I meant the things I said in it and I still do. I wish those fellows well.

This was all a sad attempt on vague information to discredit me in front of the Club, without my ability to defend myself, because I was one of the main people who didn't agree with what these guys were doing. Trust me, you don't want to see the emails that went around on all of this. It'd make your head spin. So they used a series of convenient coincidences to do so. Ed Blackburn had started some of it, but Ed & I have since buried the hatchet and we are cool with things. He was fed info from others, especially from Roy Purcell, who I had not spoken to about any of the Club issues, as I knew liked Mark and Roy was a friend of mine & gaming partner for several years. It was sad to learn months later how involved he was and I was disappointed by him & this situation that destroyed a friendship that I liked very much. Roy is an interesting fellow if you have ever spoken to him. I am sad that the friendship is over. He never talked to me or allowed me to say anything about the events and I didn't bother, once I realized how far invested he was in things. So it was all convenient for them to do so.

I am sorry for grave digging, but I think Christian and I deserve to be heard on this.

Like I said in my email back then, I harbor no ill will towards anyone. I wish all those guys the best, good luck and may they find peace and happiness and may we find the same here too! :)

Life is too short to hold grudges and for all this nonsense. May we all, them & us enjoy renewed fun and brighter days ahead! :)

I consider this issue closed now. 8)
