Hello,
as a new member in this forum, first and for all, I would like to say that I really enjoy this forum and would like to say a big "Thank You!" to all the organizers and forum staff. I think it is a great place for the AOE community comming together.
However, after signing up and exploring the forum, I got a bit irritated that from time to time I am seeing advertisements for Kopp Verlag, a German publisher.
Problem I have with this, is that in Germany they are well-known for
- supporting the political (far-)right wing sector, including published books with some very crude theories regarding World War 2 and the refugee crisis
- supporting conspiracy theories in their online blog and with published books (amongst the common ones like 9/11 was an inside job, climate change does not exist, anti-vaxxer support etc., there were also some "exotic" ones in the past, like Barrack Obama being gay and his wife being transsexual)
- supporting theories about mainstream-media being fake news
I don´t wanna start any drama here (Aoezone has already enough of it, i think ), but I wanted to take the chance as people here might not be fully aware of the actions of Kopp Verlag since most of the publications are only in German. Maybe there is a chance to no longer see these kind of advertisements in the future.
Have a nice day everyone and enjoy BOA2
