Could you please drop the inflammatory tone? Statements like this are only meant to provoke people.

I second Imperator Fyron.

Rextorres your opinion should always count for something as it is a reflection of your thoughts and learning. If you start throwing around statements/comments that are written hastily than others could be offended. The end result is that people will not want to take you seriously; from here it no longer becomes a matter of sharing your thoughts as it does wasting your breath. You should rephrase or temporarily retract the statement for rephrasing as it appears very inflammatory.

Hmm . . . why would calling someone a "flag waver" be considered inflammatory!!?? I would think that Atrocities et. al. would be proud of being a flag waver.

Atrocities, however, did call me a "revisionist" his tone to me sounded inflammatory he certainly didn't mean it as a complement.

The only Truth he has to share (yet again) is that he does not like the United States very much.

I now return you to your regularly scheduled pissing contest. I mean, discussion of 'historical' events.

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.

Rextorres, I did not call you a revisionist. I think you should reread what I did say. I did not mean to offend you. I don't know you and I had no way of knowing that you would take my post as a personal attack. It certainly was not intended as such. But in retrospect, I can see your point, and I do apologize for it. I hope this clears up any misunderstandings.

We should not judge events of our past nor pass judgement on those who participated in those events because most of us were not there to witness or participate in them first hand.

My apologies to Atrocities and others.

I made several Posts here inflamantory in nature.
I did not mean it. I have a deep respect to Will and do not want to offend anybody. Sorry.
