You can feel free to challenge anybody you believe to be reactionary, and you rightfully should. However, you should not brow beat and belittle everybody who comes to these threads to discuss potential terrorist threats as many have been doing. First, it is a nasty thing to do, and second, people should indeed remain on guard a little bit. Of course, I am not advocating that people's imaginations run wild either.
You guys make it out that these threads are are dangerous and akin to yelling "fire!" in a crowded theater which is not the case at all. And given this, you tell me who the reactionaries really are.
Before your time ( the old geezer said ) every occurance of events like this was jumped on by people advocating everything including Concentration Camps and forced deportations.
Those of us who have been through those times on this forum have seen the situations and will respond to defuse them, some with facts, some with humor, some with the tried and true " This is Series! Hugh! " ( ... ask an old timer )
Others seek to promote ignorance and fear when there is no need. You want to discuss potential terrorist threats ? fine, but there is none in this news thread. Try a vanity or opinion post.
Let me know when someone "gets killed" as a result of an FR post.
That would be a first.
Talk about panic-mongers....your opponents on this thread are the poster children.
Killed by a post on FR! What a way to go.
But I might die laughing at some of these folks.
