WTF!?! Belgium and Phoenix???

Draganw has posted a new article with the statement "Belgium and Phoenix will hold together always!!!" and "Dare to attack Belgium, you will crash only Spain!"

For one, I didn't know Spain was looking to attack us.

For another, WTF!?! Since when is Belgium a part of Phoenix? I know freedom of the press is absolute and everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I know the public outcry that would ensue if somebody with an EDEN bent had published a similar article slanted the other way.

Since Draganw is a member of BfB, is this their policy?

What a stupid thing to say!
Thank god that idiot didn't gain the BfB presidency.
You got a link to this article Thore?

Now the truth is out!
Belgium is Phoenix!!

Just kidding

Clik on Draganw's name in the first sentence for the link to the article.

hmm stupid of him... and BfB has nothing to do with this.

but I know the public outcry that would ensue if somebody with an EDEN bent had published a similar article slanted the other way.

Tempting... Very tempting

Just checking... he hid the article from the Belgian press....

draganw tried to become PP of the BfB, but failed hard. Since he recently shouted in Serbian, I'd just consider him a Serbian tard.

Thore Thoreson, after the Immigration Control Commission, ICC, you can maybe propose the PCC ? The Press Control Commission ?

That would be a negative. Freedom of the press is absolute in this game. Thus, people are allowed to exclaim to the world what an absolute dumba** they are...

Lolz. I must say we might want to deny him forum access..

Yeah, articles like that do worse to the writer than the country.

And he didn't do anything against the forum rules so we can't ban him.

i hope its not their policy, and i hope they don't except everyone,
because guys like him have a negative inpact on a party/country as well

I think he is entitled to his opinion, although it seems to imply that he is a PHOENIX-supporter first and an eBelgian second (and not the other way around). But freedom of press is a basic right.

A party can't do anything to expell a member ingame, so it can't be blamed for the actions of all of its members, especially of those who aren't supported by the leaders and other active members of that party.

We should probabley keep an eye on his newspaper , check his articles , and if he posts something stupid again we start commenting our apologies again lol.

Where is the article? Can't find it.

he deleted his article. I guess he found out he was being stupid after all.

btw, Res Belgica, watch out, he's in your party now

Well he was the only one who didn't knew it yet I guess it's an improvement for him.
If only we could ban him from erepublik

haha +1

He doesn't deserve banning , we should just be able to deport him , maybe deport him to eSpain lolz.

Come on guys, he's not the only one wanting to see eBelgium on the side of eBelgium, but he's the only who's stating it openly - and once again, it's his right. But his opinion doesn't correspond with the opinion of most eBelgians (at least I hope it doesn't). He just tries to fulfill some personal goals in this game, just as most of us do.

Indeed, he now joined Res Belgica (I guess the BfB officials have reprimanded him for the article), but this move is pointless - one should join a party which reflects his opinions, or otherwise start one himself

I fully agree, he is allowed to state his opinion; so are we, as long as we follow the rules.

I just wish that all the people that had the same opinion as he were as open about it, just so we know who they are so we could properly vilify them.

Same as in RL politics.
Politicians sometimes say stuff that will go against party policy and they will be repremanded for that (like done in this case probably)
There is no need for banning or anything, there is freedom of speech to give once opinion or else Belgium would be as bad as China

PHOENIX \o/

No but that draganw guy is weird. I wouldn't take him too seriously.

Idiot like him could put eBelgium in danger we should watch out.

true, i hope that no party gives him an electionposition ever, and the goverment should keep an eye on his newspaper just in case.

I still think its lucky he wasn't voted in as BfB Party President , now that would have been a shock. lol

Parties can do little about it - he can only be removed from the candidates list if his party has more than 9 candidates in the region he wants to run for Congress...

I just hope I will be taken as a candidate for congress.

So you decided to stay after all?

What you've got a problem whit it? Leaving won't change anything so I decided to stay to see if something can be changed.

What Exgentis lacks in experience and diplomacy, he makes up in enthusiasm
(this is meant as a compliment)

Xgentis would make a great congressman , he as excellent enthusiasm to do the best for eBelgium , and you only gain experience as a congressman by being a congressman.

We need more enthusiastic eBelgians to become congressman , instead of people who am only after the medal.

Thank you for your support Mike I apreciate it.

Yeah, go for it Xgentis, we may not always agree but if I could find the time to be just half as active as you are on the forum, I'd have scored higher on Sammy's congressman scoreboard

I've been doubting a long time about the exact number to give to you, gregoir, but I had to follow my rules in it

Your article was most excellent, Sammy

and on topic, of course Draganw shouldn't be banned from anything, he is entitled to his opinion and doesn't seem like much of a threat to national security (judging from the number of votes he received), also he did write some okay articles before and gave out some free stuff. The only thing we can do is not vote for him if he decides to run for congress (but he's not even in eBelgium now)

I want to be in congress too :'(
