I write a throw away line on an FR thread and you accuse me of having no sympathies for the civilians killed by Nazi bombers.

I didn't accuse you of having NO sympathies for Nazi victims. I tsk-tsk'ed about you not having the SAME degree of sympathy. In the posts I've read, you seemed to be unduly critical of the Allies, while minimizing the offenses of the enemy.

I suppose you also think Noel Coward was actually asking his fellow Brits to be nice to the Germans.

No, but Noel Coward was witty.

As a born and bred ex-New Yorker I learned not to respond -- ever -- to raving street corner nutters. I'm still learning that FR contains similar people. Thanks for the reminder.
