"The vast majority of ad hominem remarks, insults, and outright lies, came from the antis"
Well I consider your answer to me in post #336 "Go read the threads that contain the FACTS!" (your caps) a sly ad hominem attack.
I and others who wanted the port deal nixed have "the FACTS!" We just don't agree with you.
Your side has spent the better part of two + weeks, saying that DPW was BUYING ports.
That is NOT a fact!
It was also claimed, by your side, that DPW would be in charge of port security.
That's not so either.
The "deal" is NOT lost.
DPW did BUY P&O.
I could repeat and correct all of the LIES that were posted to FR and correct them, but frankly, I don't feel like it.
Now go read the threads that actually contain the FACTS and try to finally learn some.
