No, that's a silly scenario, and even a sillier waste of time to but the admin about it. Note it in a post if you can't see the alliterative virtue in the original title, but police your own threads if you don't mind and stop worrying about all those folks who get Assyrians confused with Babylonians.
What a silly thing, to actually complain to the Admin Moderator I can see that you may be upset if you think that I complained to the moderator. I did not. Moderators are there to help and correct mistakes, not just answer complaints. YOu have noticed they move threads from one part of FR to another. You may have also seen the posters themselves saying, "Ooops, I meant this article for Chat and not News; moderator, please move it there."
You may have also seen people mistyping the title and aking the moderator to correct that. I myself have made such a mistake twice and the moderator helped me out to correct my mistake.
In other words, you see offense where there was none.
Did anyone really get "misled" by the title???? YEs I was.
stop worrying about all those folks who get Assyrians confused with Babylonians.
Your remark is a good example of how little knowlege may be more dangerous than no knowledge at all.
Assyrians are a large people that have suffered greatly not just throughout history but fairly recently, in the XX centuries. It is a fractured, religously diverse group. Mostly Chirstian, they have been oppressed by Saddam, along with the Sh'ia Muslims (Saddam is from a Sunni familiy), Kurds, and other minorities.
As we pushed into Iraq, there was a great danger that SAddam will use the pretext to gas the Kurds in the north (as he did 15 years ago) and create pogroms against other minorities, such as Assyrians. Some Kurds even fled the cities two days before we entered Iraq, and the Iraqi secret police was shooting at these unarmed civilians.
When I read your title, it looked like there was a threat to Assyrians, which many people had expected. Worse, the title suggested that we took the side of Saddam against Assyrians. YOu have to agree that this is very confusing. Thank G-d, that was not true.
I can see your point of view. Thinking of Assyrians of living in the long-gone past, together with Babylonians, you thought that I was simply picking on you. I hopw you can see now that this was not the case. I can see also that you may have been offended thinking that I complained to the MOderator. I did not; I asked for help.
Perhaps in the furture, you should not be so quick with the trigger.
