And you just dumped on the floor again. if you go back through the archives for a few months you're likely to find that I've been one of the least involved in political and other inflammatory threads. Indeed, you might like to tally up your own involvement in these threads and ask yourself who has wasted more of people's time, then think about the mote in your own eye. However, much as I dislike getting into these things nowadays some posts deserve a response. Using a word like 'creamed' to describe the bombing of Baghdad strikes me as insensitive and uncaring, whatever the rights and wrongs of the war itself, towards the people who are least able to do anything about their situation and who certainly haven't brought it upon themselves. Neutrality always favours the aggressor, and I'm not about to be neutral when people appear to relish the deaths of innocent people and treat their coverage like a Hollywood movie. Furthermore, when I do engage in these threads I at least have the decency to discuss the matters at hand, rather than insulting people. If your first resort is to call me a "horse's ass" it demonstrates nothing but your own ignorance and lack of civility. If you really want people to shut up about politics you could take lessons from Fred who is consistently polite but insistent about it. Tossing insults around is bound to generate further replies. -- Cheers, Bob mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
