It ties up space and most of the time what is being placed in the spam is irrelevant and just plain idiocy. In this case the information is relevant, as it depicts the death of American Soldiers and should be used to honor them. However, instead of honoring these soldiers, this individual is using the names and deaths of fine American Soldiers in a way of making a personal point. He is not honoring them. Had this individual stated that he wanted to take a moment to honor some soldiers, I can assure you most would not protest to it. For the record, many of the members that play in the game are not in fact Recruiters. The range of players ages are quite long. Im 41 and I play regularly (ok-when the wife lets me lol). Also, Admin (admin) only refers to the leader of the clan that runs the server, and most of these servers are run by non-military personnel. They have rules such as NO SPAMMING. This individual, although could be doing good things with the names of fallen soldiers, choose to dishonor them in this context while breaking the rules of the servers. I would have cyber shot him myself and I am a patriot. It just bothers me that people, who have nothing better to do, use the deaths of GREAT AMERICANS to get notice. This person is an idiot. Come to my server and see what happens. "Joseph DeLappe is making a wickedly clever protest about the war in Iraq". Clever NO-Wicked yes!! "(Interesting to note that the U.S. military uses a COMPUTER GAME as their premier recruitment tool.)" Another false statement-Recruiters are the Army's premier recruitment tool. More fine Americans.
