"Ireland" can't respond to Larry's kind offer, because Larry would then find out "Ireland" resides in Baltimore, not Ireland as he has claimed here.

And Larry, I agree that Irish history is complicated. But that is because I actually know Irish history, and don't need you to preach to me about it.

As to whether or not the Orange Order and loyalist paramilitaries can fairly be referred to as bigots, well...some things really are that simple Larry. Following your line of reasoning, the Klan was really a bunch of nice folks who just saw things differently than the rest of us, and to call them bigots would be engaging in ad hominem attacks.
