I would ask you to get your facts right before posting such Horse s*** .

I'm starting to get fed up of so called "groups" and certain individuals attacking B.G.S. openly for no resion other than utter spite and jealousy.

I'm openingly drawing the line in the sand now, and I dare any one to cross it, because the accusations that have been made border on slander. I'm really feed up of this s*** now. I am also telling you now to step up and admit to what you have said, or shout up and stop causing s*** and spreading slanderous rumors about things like people from B.G.S. being arrested when it is clearly untrue. You have now been warned and can say what you want at your own risk. And remember, the world is a small place, and you never know who is listening to what you are saying, or who is going to hear about what you have said. To those who insist on continuing with slanderous accusations against B.G.S. as of now, you have been warmed that your actions will have consequences. To close, step up or shut up.

To the admins and mods, I'm sorry but I've had enough, and I would ask you to moderate any comments that contain obvious hearsay and slander against B.G.S.
I think that says it all any more and I will lock this topic !

BGS is a liked and respected contributor to the reenactment scene and this forum.

With due respect to all involved I will leave this a bit and then delete 'offensive' posts.

Mind you, I will just add that a lot of people are needlessly angry at little things.

I recall Schnellmeyer giving criticism to my brother, in my group, about him starting a fire near two jerry cans. He was right, but the fact is they were empty, and it was a photo taken 'out of hours'. I didn't get annoyed at that and indeed welcomed the discussion.

So, please put your rifles on 'safety', kick off your boots, light the fire and enjoy sharing photos and experiences of re-enacting :)

The trouble is that rumours are spread by those who aren't there. I think that's all that needs to be said.

If I might take a few minutes to set a record straight here and to ask that the record be set straight , just what the hell is going on ?
I need to know if these remarks are being directed at me , a simple yes or no is quite sufficent.

This will present difficulties for the Admins and and Moderation staff - simply because there are no such posts.
What I will say is that I made not at any time made any connection between BGS and these arrests - I just want this to be clear and beyond reasonable doubt , period.

A very reasonable pm from myself awaits SchnellMeyer when he opens his pm box and it involves no slander or hearsay.

lads
its Wed night and we are only in the door from Normandy and yet again the usual maggots on this forum have been spreading their poision as usual about BGS .
Will it ever stop .
We all know who is behind and why and its gettin boring now . I think any man on this forum who can read surly knows the few who are hell bent on trying to put down a group like ours , its either us , Duncannon event , Normandy trip etc etc . Give it up for F**K s sake and just get on with thingfs . If ye spent more time at events and proper reenacting instead of on the computer ye might do better .
For the official record .... NO MEMBER OF BGS WAS IN ANY WAY ARRESTED IN NORMANDY , we had nothing but help and copoeration form local police and authorities . IN fact when my bike gave trouble on Tuesday 1 hour from cherbourg , if it was not for two Policemen from St Mere Eglise who came along and got me a breakdown truck and an escort to the ferry with an hour to go to sailing i would have missed the ferry , now thats service for you .
BGS showed exactly waht we were made of , we brought the 4 FJ vets to the Deadmans corner event to Manny and the lads and one SS vet from 12th SS also , our members participated in full uniform , flawless in every detail and those of us escorting the vets were in civilian attire for the weekend while travelling with the vets .
ANyone saying otherwise is a liar and a shit stirrer . Anyone saying anything dafamtory will be dealt with legally and any site supporting this type of shit will also be held accountable .
Thats our fianl line on the matter.
Lads wake up and see whats going on here and you all are smart men to know who and whats behind this .

NO MEMBER OF BGS WAS IN ANY WAY ARRESTED IN NORMANDY
I have yet to see any post here or hear of any implication directed towards or verbally mentioning any alledged arrest of BGS members.

The arrests (which did take place and which were reported on French radio news) , have been the subject of a discussion on another forum - BGS were not mentioned nor were the group referred to there in any shape manner or form .
(As yet the nationality of those arrested would seem to be unknown as far as I am aware the incident took place on 5th June).
I noticed at the collectors fair in the same location a number of folks who wore military type uniforms - home assembled and self styled jobs , I also saw a policeman giving a motorcycle combination "the once over" - in a good natured manner - was it road worthy and was the MG a deact. appeared to be his main interest.

Rommel ,I did see your folks at Deadman's Corner and your dress code was as you say - "civys" in public , uniform on the field and all markings on the vehicles were covered, perfect order - no one could complain.
( You will by now have seen the photo I posted of Manny and Justin. When Justin checks his pm box he will find a very reasonable and good natured pm from me to him explaining why I was unable to say "Hello" to him at DMC - his on going involvement at the time of my brief visit there and my unfortunately limited time to spend there being the sum and substance , perhaps on another day.)

As one following the arrest issue I have no idea what you have heard , but suspect that what you have heard is the product of "Chinese whispers" , you are hearing something I am not , and I for one do not have clue what "Blackshammrock" or yourself are on about.

And as far as "Blackshammrock" news of "slanderous allegations" being made about BGS members being arrested - I would have ask from whom was this information obtained and what is the basis on which it was formed ?

As far as "the usual maggots on this forum" and with the specific mention of "Normandy" I feel compelled to ask if these remarks are being in anyway directed towards myself - I would like some clarification from yourself.

Are you referring to me as being one of "the maggots" , again a simple "yes" or "no" will be sufficent.

As far as an on line bitching and backbiting contest goes I would have to find it hard to summon up the interest - BGS I have no issues with - I only wish to have some clarification on a series of remarks which may (or indeed may not) be broadly directed at or may refer to myself. I am asking this as a member of this forum and I do not think that my right to ask is unreasonable and for these reasons I am directing it directly to you both.

My primary interest in the arrest issue is rather straightforward , as a problem it potentially might hinder the event running next year , as far as BGS participation goes no issues, absolutely none.

Firstlly , I would like to publicly thank Manny and Darren for the warm welcome they gave us at Dead Man's Corner and for looking after our FJ guys while they were there with them .They even shared out there rations when our JU52 dropped our mens rations else where. This display was a credit to all the FJ guys , well done men .
Secondly it was a great honour for me to be able to bring four FJ veterans and one vet from the 12 HJ Pz Div to Dead Man's Corner also , the look on Manny and all the FJ reenactors faces is a sight that I will not forget .I am glad that I was able to do this because you guys deserved it .I spoke to Alex one of the FJ vets today and all they talked about on the way back to Germany was the FJ display at Dead Man's Corner , I think this speaks for itself.
Now finally and to the down side , yet again BGS has been attacked by people who have nothing else to do , this forum is being use as a tool to direct such attacks and this is wrong and not what the forum is there for .
Tychsen ,I have read your PM to me and to be honest it is a sad attempt to try and justifie yourself , in a previous post I told you to make contact me at Daed Man's Corner .You gave me such a detailed account of my movements there that you did have plenty of time to make yourself known .You even put up a photo of me and Manny , which I have no doubt there was some other reason behind . James if you have no gripe against me or BGS , YOU HAVE A FUNNY WAY OF SHOWING IT . Leave the politics out of the Pst Forum and use it like it should be .
Franz , thanks for your support .You are a true and loyal friend and thank god you have a good head on those shoulders .

Firstly Justin - I am not getting into any dirt throwing on this issue - it won't be happening , that is not what Pst! is for nor how it should be used , I feel I should reflect your own words back to you and to others who might think that a flame war is going to happen .
I have sent you a pm and my tel number - you may respond to either and we can take it from there.
As I have said - I have no gripe with yourslf or BGS and I fail to see why I should have to repeat this on demand.
I have no problem having a friendly and mutually beneficial contact with anyone , what I am not going to entertain or be part of is a flame war or a war of words which within the real meaning of life is meaningless.

One question which I will ask in the public forum , just what sinsiter motive do you see in the photo of Manny and yourself or what motive do you ascribe to my posting it - a concise and rational answer would be helpful, for if you have an answer I would certainly be interested.
This will be my last post on this thread , those who read this thread may draw their own conclusions based on the posts lone.
