I wasn't talking about YOU, my comments were not about YOU, I really have no interest in what YOUR differences of opinion with regard to who did what, when or where. My comments were about PERSONAL INSULTS, like calling someone a sock or a troll or "less than" because they lived abroad. Read the entire thread (as I said, before) and note the amount of PERSONAL invective directed at the OP for SIMPLY holding an opinion and expressing it politely.
So you can take all that "your pal" stuff and hie away with it. My "pal" (and this person is not my pal--I really don't know this person but I appreciate the reasonable tone of the OP) has an opinion and you don't like it--I get that. I am not so much concerned about my "pal's" opinion as I am about the shitty comments directed at my "pal" for not holding the opinions that some here want my "pal" to hold.
In most venues, that's called bullying. It doesn't reflect well. Whatever happened to disagreeing without being disagreeable?
Great job illustrating the point I was making, though....!
