McG of H,

Well yes, apparently we have already had an occasion to give and take offense.

None intended, I was coming from a very narrow focus, not a narrow mind. The focus I was holding was about divided brothers, not about inhuman insanity wreaked upon whole populations, and not about the birth of a nation from the empire that mothered it.

We can go there if you wish, but I would hope that you were not starting from the feeling that I had meant to ignore or minimize any suffering that has ever occurred, I am not about that.
