Atrocities, however, did call me a "revisionist" his tone to me sounded inflammatory he certainly didn't mean it as a complement.
You used the term "flag waver" in a negative context, implying that flag wavers do not think and just accept whatever their government tells them. Also, there is the implication that patriots can't be right. You may not have meant this, but this is how it has come across. There is at least one other person who saw this (or something like it) in your post, so I am not just making it up. Both of your Posts in this thread were inflammatory, actually (the first to a lesser degree than the second). They dismiss the person, whereas AT's post was dismissing the idea... His post could also be considered inflammatory, but of a different nature.
