Stating FACTS - Cultural and Forum 'Politics' - or POLICIES!

[Matchlock]

Vadim,



Reading your lines made my heart leap!
I feel that both our souls and minds are alike - so thank you beyond words, my friend!

Please DO POST your PM! So will I, right away.
Be aware, though, of the fact that two my threads have been closed and/or deleted - accusing me of violating forum rules concerning discussing what one of the moderators calls 'politics'.

Actually, all I did was state THE BARE FACTS OF CULTURAL AND MUSEUMS POLICIES - because this is the correct term, yes Sirree! - and I backed up every single word with actual, undeniable facts.

Alright then, Sir A.:
Go on and close and/or delete hundreds of other threads and posts accusing cultural and museums POLICIES - and over years. Just as you please. You have blatantly stated your definition of telling the truth already.

I never applied for becoming a member. Due to my international standing, I was invited by Ed Dittus to join the forum as an honorary member in 2008. And you all know that I have been doing my very best for the community ever since - in more than 4,000 posts, and for many of my friends privately. They have supported me right back.


So all of you: please feel free to email me whenever you feel or hope that I may of help you:

In 2009, a most highly respected member, who I have been proud of being counted among his friends ever since, wrote that I was

'... literally THE BACK BONE of the forum!'

Thank you so much, my dear friend; our minds and hearts are alike!

Though having been offered various options over the years, I have confined all my strength to Vikingsword - up to now.


So many of you have been mailing and calling me, assuring me that you are on my side!



Thanks for all your support, and best wishes as ever,
Michael/Michl Trömner

From your recent posts I have learned about your current unfortunate situation. It is truly a shame for Germany that you and your collection are treated the way they are.

While I cannot offer much practical help, I would like to express at least some moral support. I am also a member of other firearms forums attended by tens of thousands of people who love and admire firearms. With your permission, can I share the story of your hardship? You never know, there might be others willing and able to help.

Let me know if it's OK to post about your situation to another forum. And please do not despair! We need you!

Vadim
