I'm sure it's quite possible. It's just a little odd that you would lurk and lurk and lurk without signing up, then choose to sign up just to defend the insults hurled at Israel and the USA.

[Dances With No One]

I assure you I'm not defending in any way insults hurled at Israel & the US!

As stated, I'm saddened to see so many vicious remarks made about a person in an unexpected, uncertain, difficult situation. It could be I've missed some of the "insults hurled", and I'm rereading his comments to ensure I've not totally missed the mark.
I am prepared to give him some leeway given the trying circumstances he's found himself in, if that means I'm anti-US/Israel (in your opinion) so be it...
Sorry, I don't think it's odd at all that I would lurk and lurk and lurk - I'm pretty sure lots of people do - both supporters of this site, and the other kind.
I do LOVE FR. And now, after all these years, I've signed up.

Please stop all of the personal attacks

Rebel_yell2 needs our support and prayers right now, not to read a series of attacks of him and other FReepers. Put yourself in his shoes - I know I'd be pretty frustrated too if I were stuck in a war zone for a week with little sleep and had to deal with any bureaucracy to get out. Heck, most of us hate going to the state motor vehicles office on a good day, and it's not a good day to be in Beirut.

Please think before posting. Many are going to be regretting their posts in hindsight.
