Joe,

I have gone back and read it. "cowardly band of thugs" and references to Tim McVeigh and the Colorado shooters are his words, not mine. I have walked in the shoes he is describing, and I understand the passion he feels. But my posting simply pointed out that the use of these terms in our discussion are not productive, and then used examples to point out what others would think of. Sorry we disagree, but I will stand by the points I have made. I will let it drop here, as far as this thread goes in the interest of keeping it civil. But I respectfully disagree with you on this matter, and I believe I am on sound ground for doing so.

Mick
