I believe that is what I said, Jeri. The only reason I put the rest of the information in the thread is because for far too long, all terrorism in the North has been laid at the doorstep of the Nationalist. It must not be allowed to go unchallenged. The simple fact is that people must stop using these terms. And they must respect the wishes of the people of the North of Ireland. A very good discussion of this occurred in the "Back Home in Derry" thread. CLICK HERE for one of my responses to this.

I know that this makes many of you uncomfortable, but it is a matter of principle for me. That principle is that people must agree to discuss problems in an intelligent fashion. If they choose the path of ignorance, I will label them as such and then ignore them. Sapper, is an example of a man who chose the path of discussion. Penny is another. After a rocky start, I have come to greatly respect their opinions in this matter. They remind me that the English are a warm and hospitable people with a rich culture. And that many among them long for peace with justice in the North of Ireland just as Irish Americans, and the Irish themselves do.
