---Those of us who know Mark, realize that it would be completely out of character for him to say something like that about Gen Abizaid...---

But it's in character for him to repeatedly call me a nut for repeating one word out of what he said on the thread in question?

---You're reaching...bayourant had it wrong.---

I did stipulate to that. I just questioned his tactics. He came here calling bayourant a liar. He made no effort whatsoever to clear up what might have been a misunderstanding. You do see that don't you?

bayourant or holdonnow....hmmmm, who would I trust?

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

That's because he is a liar.

Although I suppose I should refer to him in the past tense, now that he's been properly fried and fricasseed.

my argument is that bayourant had it completely wrong and that there was no point ion trying to mitigate his/ her stupidity. He/ she had this wrong 6 ways to Sunday, made the allegation and then tried to weasel out of it. The allegation was unfounded and propagated without any attempt to determine the truth of the accusation.

As far as Mark calling you a nut...count yourself lucky. It could have been a lot worse..he muct have been in a good mood. It wasn't as if he called you a racist or anything..
