Talk about a knee jerk reaction. Duh. "bias",
"ignorance". Double duh.
I simply stated the headlines seen on TV today
morning. And what comes back is nice piece of
flamebait based upon the capitalization of my words.

FYI I was among the people who started the forum, and
have a fair idea about what is ok and what is not ok
to have in here.

In which case, you should not reply in the first
place. This is not how you end a thread, this is how
you make sure it grows.
Some of your points are good, your overall packaging
isn't.
You don't even know what I look like (or maybe you do,
there used to be a mugshot on the ilug-cal website),
let alone know what I think about things like this in
general, and you make assumptions about my "bias",
"ignorance", and my hate mongering efforts from five
lines of text.
Bravo.
To make it clear - I totally detest what has
happenned, and what will follow in the aftermath. I am
also intensely aware of the fact that there may/will
be a good amount of racial tension because of this. I
just hope that the retribution does not touch innocent
lives out here.
I feel sorry that you had to live through difficult
times, racial tension is a terrible thing to live with
- I've had my fair share of that back in India, where
its a much much more palatable and dangerous thing.
Possibly that reply wasn't as volatile and volumnious
as expected, but hope that it was clear enough.
