Too bad. You used the brownshirt remark in response to what someone had said to me, therefore you were indirectly characterizing me as such.
Your assessment was outrageous and wrong.
You're known by who you run with, rightly or wrongly. Human nature, and not without some justification.
I was directly refering to the Turkeys, though. Are you one?
Additionally, I said it in jest in response to another poster. You don't take yourself so seriously that you can't detect wry humor, do you?
