Subject: RE: Folklore/History: Irish Famine
"I just wanted to see what excuse you would give for not doing what you offered."
You appear to be admitting that your presence on these threads is a game of one-upmanship and that you have no real interest in the subject in hand - do I have that right?
Tell me you didn't post the claim - simple as that - call my bluff and your wish shall be granted O crass one.
You have had the Republican stance on parades from the horses mouth, which was what this is about
You accused us of resenting people having their fun instead of being concerned over cretinous thugs injuring police and making the lives of the people of Ireland miserable and dangerous.
"Why do people so hate for them to just march and play?"
You do your crocodile tears act to the extent of using the death of the Omagh victims as a platform for your hand-wringing, yet you seem happy to ignore the present dangerous violence on the streets of Belfast and around the 'flag' protests which lasted for three months and has been described by the police as potentially life threatening.
You seem to have abandoned any shred of attempt to debate decently and articulately.
One last time - are you claiming, as you appear to be, that you didn't post a statement by a leading Republican that "they have no problem with peaceful marches, but were just concerned with the violent, triumphant ones that caused the trouble" - yes or no?
If the answer is "yes" that is your claim, I will be more than happy to find the statement and put it up here, along with your claims that the violence in the province was now over and the four nights of rioting was caused by children.
