Let me offer a possible explanation here. Over the years, people have repeatedly said Jeroen holds a twisted world view and does not see there are actually many dire consequences of the positions he advocates and the things he says. Personally, I think that is still the case. Considering any and all criticism of something he loves dearly (his ideas) to be "bashing" and not seeing it as legitimate criticism fits that profile perfectly. Note that Jeroen repeatedly and gratuitously makes comparisons between what he opposes and the Nazis, even when any reasonable person would realize that such a comparison will only obscure the issue at hand. Also note that Jeroen launches attacks on America, similar to some things the Nazis did, but considers *that* to be legitimate and not evil. -- "Erik Reuter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.erikreuter.com/
