You almost had me...I almost thought I had gotten a polite person to have a discussion with and then you had to go and act tough and arrogant. (Sigh...)
I'll tell you what I tell everyone who does that. Come over here and say that to me personally and perhaps I'll give you a listen. ;-)
Ciao!
I’m sorry if it sounded rude, I didn’t mean it to be. I was trying to convey the seriousness of what is happening. Emotion is easily inserted or implied in emails and posts. If I almost had you don’t let your sensitivity to percieved insults get in the way. If it makes sense, then it makes sense whether I’m a bombastic ass or a meek pleader or anything in between.
There is not really a fluffy way of saying what I did, we do need to get over our myopic focus on the middle east, ALL OF US or we won’t have anything left here worth defending besides our leisures. Even The LORD Jesus Himself had to say hard things and in a hard way to get the people’s attention. Those interested in truth heard the message, the rest just took these things as personal insults. I know you’re better than that.
Seriously, I went back and re read what I posted and I’m not sure where you get the tough and arrogant thing from. It seems to me that in our short discourse you have already insulted me and acted tough and arrogant with the come over hear and say that to me comment.
I would say that to your face if we were having this discussion in person, I doubt your response would be what it was as you would have been able to read my body language, gauge the tone of my voice and realize there was nothing threatening about it.
I think I know where you are coming from now - anyone who thinks RP has a bit of a point is such and such. When I was a kid I used to hear stuff like that about black people too. It’s called prejudice, and may I say it doesn’t sit to well on your head.
