i'm intrigued as to why this forum tries to be squeeky clean. it's really ironic that for a bunch of people that collects objects that was meant to kill, a mere hint of argument between two members warrant a thread closing. that'd be like a bunch of porn collectors trying to maintain a Rated PG forum, lol...

It stemmed from the HOS thread, everyone played by
forum rules until favoritism sneaked in and the rules
got bent. In the case of the History of Steel in
Eastern Asia, Antonio and Mark knew the Philippines
sections' team and contributors were doomed to fail
yet they were willing to stab everyone in the back in
order to publish, readers didn't get Philippine
patriotism or nationalism, just misinformation about
the weaponry and history, add this caveat as a
footnote.
