Where to begin. Where to begin.
McGrath. Thank you for that first paragraph. You stated my intent very well.
On the harassment issue, I was refering to the jerks who spit on returning servicemen in airports and jeered them for enlisting. The ones who called them "baby killers" and acted as though they, personally were totally responsible for the war.
Greg. So nice of you to check in with a little of your vitroil. Please read my post of 12/12/00@05:44pm and then go crawl back under your rock.
Barry. "Shove it" was a response to the response to my post of 5:44pm. I tried to let everyone know where I was coming from and why. I even thanked everyone for their postings. But some people just have to have the last word. There is nothing in the statement,"If you don't like what I'm saying, don't read it." that remotely hints at stifling argument or opposing views.
But I got flamed. OK.
I'm quite capable of defending myself and my ideals. If anyone has a problem with that, understand that I will answer reasoned argument with as reasoned an argument as I can make.
I will answer flame with flame.
