Thanks for the warning, but as I live in a democracy, I have nothing, nothing at all to fear.

I have the right to say that I have problems sympathising with terrorists, and if anybody was to disagree, that;s their right. If they don't like what I am saying, then I have no issues sleeping at night because I am not a politician so do not have to listen to their views.

This is a forum, and if people post a thread, they have to accept what comes up on it.

So a person has died. Commiseration to his family and friends. But let's not get carried away with this notion about a freedom fighter. Times move on, innocent people caught up in the troubles have been mourned and the province is looking forward not back. I visit Belfast on a regular basis and have done for many years. The change is amazing, the laughter on the streets genuine and the atmosphere in pubs and hotel bars is good creic, not sectarian rubbish as was the case years ago.

Sean McKenna saw this change, and I hope he felt it was worth fighting for. Whether the real fighting helped or delayed progress is a debate for other times...
