Sorry, Dan !

I surely don't want this to become yet another flame feast.

When I was reading that page, I found it pretty amusing to see quite a few similarities to a lot of heated threads in our own halls.

I thought, I'd share the funny ranting and name-calling, and I was hoping, that when looking at it from a distance, one might come to the conclusion, that not everything should be taken too serious.

I especially dislike the idea of "black and white painting" like:
- you [insert nationality here] are all alike (nazis, commies, homosexuals etc.)
- you don't like me (or my president in this particular case) ... you must be my (our) enemy

Instead, I thought it should be general knowledge that the whole life is rather a scale of greys and imho, justification wouldn't really get you anywhere.

If anybody felt stepped onto his toe, I'd be sorry, but feel free to mail/pm me or discuss it in here.

I felt the same amusement Maggi, and personally I would have been happy to leave it in the lounge for general discussion.

Sadly, I have lost faith with some of our fellow murcers ability to do so.

sad indeed, but we shall see ...

If only somebody on that forum had read this, they might have been a little less hot under the collar.

Then again, maybe not.
