At no point in my posting did I demean anyone. There was certainly criticism though. Do you understand the difference between demeaning someone and criticising them? If I were to call you an idiot for not understanding the distinction it would be demeaning, but as it is, I'm just pointing out that you don't seem to know the difference. That's not demeaning; it's just stating the truth of the situation. The only intolerance I have, as I clearly stated, is for those who don't have the courage to face up to reality and instead try to force other people to comply with the fiction they wish to perpetuate. > At least, you're not resorting to racial epithets, which you > would know happened if you had read the thread[...] Why even raise this issue in the context of my answer? The implication of saying "At least, you're not resorting to racial epithets" is that you expected me to do just that. If you didn't expect me to resort to racial epithets then the statement would have been redundant and you would have felt no need to make it. Do you know me? I certainly don't know you, so what reason did you have for thinking that I might resort to racial epithets? Your reasoning seems to based, in fact, upon nothing. Is it not rather stupid or idiotic to do that? It would, of course, be demeaning if I called you an idiot for doing that, but once again, I'm just pointing out that your reasoning seems to be rather flawed. > , as well as it was > the original intent of the event's organiser to re-enact the atom > bombings (he thinks there are no bombings possible in FGFS, > showing how hard he's tried to research the topic, thus why it > was changed to a dogfighting event...) The original plan was for a multiple aircraft raid on two airfields in a single mission. The only things in common between the original raid plans and the A-bomb raids were the two locations. > Get your facts straight, if you're going to comment, as you're > basing your opinion on non straight facts :) > Cheers, > Nic The saddest thing about your posting is that rather than contributing to the debate you've chosen to try to personally belittle and attack me, whilst spuriously implying that I'm a racist on the basis of absolutely nothing. In the end though, that's really your problem, not mine. LeeE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Come build with us!
