Smelgar, I have nothing against Croats themselves in general, just because they are Croats, I have conflicts with individuals.
I as well made a point about existence of certain taboo subjects regarding certain people and that for the sake of politeness, people should avoid such things. (see when I mentioned what would happen if a Saxon player would RP a massacre of the Jews. The difference would only be that everyone understands the controversy in that case, and it would be a scandal, criticized by every member of KH community, while, crimes of Croats aren't that well-known in world, probably because Balkan's history isn't that interesting to the world, and some people see it as just a part of the RP. Well it isn't.)
Ban constantly makes insults on my people and nation, sometimes the insults are blunt and direct (like Ban calling us Turks, or spitting on our historical cultural events), but sometimes he hides them barely enough so we can notice them alone, without people who aren't from this region not understanding what provocation he made, such with the Storm thing, such with many other things witnessed on tavern on daily basis.
Again, some people that lack national identity, like Fallen (in combination with other mind deviations

), cannot probably understand how would someone get insulted because of insults made towards their country, so supposedly, we turn out to be some crazy people.
I read the issue of Ban with Sevastokrator. Sevastokrator took it too far, but you know what? Rest of the Serb-player community in at-that-point nation of Duklja stood up and told Sevastokrator that he is wrong.
Can you tell me why do those same Serbian players that defended a Croat against a Serb (oh my!) now turned into, supposedly, nationalistic jerks?
I can tell you, because I read the sequel of the board topic with conflict of Seva and Ban. Ban took the insults from Sevastokrator on a national level and starting flaming and spitting at all Serbs in KH, even tho they did nothing to him.
From that point on, he's constantly bringing up some symbols of Croatian conflicts with Serbia (there were no such conflicts in medieval age between our people), so instead of using cultural reference to medieval Croatia, Ban is constantly either assimilating Serbian culture of struggle against the Turks into Croatian "history", either using symbols of Croatian slaughters of Serb civilians of modern wars (WW2 and Yugoslavian civil war in the '90s).
You know why there aren't conflicts of Serbs and Croats in the Byzantium? It is because there aren't people like Ban that shout and glorify their blessed Croatian independence and fight against the evil Serbs, those are just people that mind their own business and play their own game.
I never saw anyone here following the saying "respect your enemy", no, people find "shit on your enemy" much more popular.
Borna, I don't care who started what, I specifically said that I want it to end, no matter who is hiding behind words, a Serb or a Croat, it should be tended to - stopped. I pointed out an issue in the PRESENT.
