If I had excerpted this:

(Associated Press; WorldNetDaily.com, by Paul Sperry, Washington Bureau Chief, 11/24/03)

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has announced to the public that the nation's current terror threat level stands at yellow, or elevated, indicating there is only a significant risk of terrorist attacks. But, behind the scenes, it has directed federal and state law enforcement, as well as security personnel to initiate protective measures under its highest threat level - red - a condition when there is an imminent risk of terrorist attacks.

Marked "For Official Use Only," a five-page memo from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security was distributed Friday to federal departments and agencies, as well as state security managers and first responders. The Homeland Security memo warns that al-Qaeda might launch attacks "near the end of Ramadan (Nov. 24-27)," which happens to coincide this year with the Thanksgiving holiday.

Also, the State Department issued a "worldwide caution" for Americans traveling abroad, urging they "maintain a high level of vigilance" for possible terrorist attacks.

The memo advised federal agencies to initiate emergency counter terrorism measures to prevent possible al-Qaeda car bombings planned during the last days of the Muslim holiday Ramadan. Citing al-Qaeda's "increasingly sophisticated" car-bombing tactics, it recommends security guards tow all vehicles parked illegally in and around government facilities, if their owners cannot be identified, and inspect the undercarriage and other areas of vehicles entering sensitive areas, among other high-threat protective measures.

. . . out of the message Francis sent to me

And put Francis' comments etc. in my comments section--or omitted them entirely, you'd not have had a leg to stand on. And, actually, I don't believe you do, anyway.

No, Quix, you posted questionable information in captital letters (missing some letters), telling us that the terror alert had gone up to RED.

What followed was a stream-of-consciousness kind of explanation from some guy from a narrow branch of Christianity. I don't find that to be very honest, and in fact, I find that to be dishonest and alarmist.

It's mean, and by mean I'm defining that in a couple of different definitions of the term. What you did was wrong. Shame on you. Shame!
