So you can offer no rebuttal of my points other than to call it "nonsense" with no accompanying argument or justification and to point your finger at the date when I registered on this site?

It's a too typical tactic of people who don't have a leg to stand on to point to newer members sign on date, as if to say, you just started forming your opinions on the day you became a member, therefore they are without merit.

It seems a "newbie" is anyone who signed on at least one day after they did.

If you've got something to say to ME, Graybeard, you ought to at least have the courage to come out and say it directly to moi--instead of hiding behind the shadowy skirts of some other poster's and mine's random back-and-forth skirmishing to obscure your challenge.

Feel free to speak straight to me, if you've got the spine for it, ANYTIME. Or at least have the decency to *ping me to those posts to others that concerns a matter we've discussed in your absence, even if you haven't the belly for challenging something I've said in such exchanges head-on.

Many thanks for your kind words Greybeard.

And please don't think that I am in any way anti-American.

I like Americans very much on the whole.

I just object to the mindless anti-anything-not-American stuff that is so often posted on this forum, particularly when it attacks my own country.
