Oh, for fuck's sake.

There was a young guy in his late teens came up North around 1972 or 3, from somewhere down south, can't recall where. He was very spirited, spoke of family involved in the struggle since the 1920's.

His girlfriend followed him against his expressed wished. They died instantly when the device they were transporting exploded, she wouldn't let him go alone. I recall a young soldier shot by a sniper in 1974, he was only a kid of 18. He called out what I presume were family members or a girlfriend to help him, medics couldn't get to him for what seemed ages. This is the cruelty many forget.

Maybe Martin is an out & out Provo. I don't know. But that one post, even if I ignore everything else, shows humanity. Maybe more than you've shown. I've said everything I had to say, including calling out Martin for reviving this, and calling you out for ignoring that, but I'll repeat this much:

If we gain anything by raking over old coals, then rake. But do we gain anything? Or would it be better to let the thread die?

Martin shows humanity; so does Dead Horse. What's your contribution? I don't give a fuck, I must be right, no matter what? I'm not saying I think that's what you're saying, but if someone told me that they thought you did, I'd have trouble arguing that they were wrong. Have a think about that!
