Because you have not defined "cowardly" "ill-mannered" or "attack".
If you knew anything about me or the situation or the conventions of FreeRepublic you might find things are not what they appear to be.
Now, for some reason you have self-selected to be part of some Flying Freeper "shout down squad".
The only way to deal with that is to end our conversation.
There is no reason to reply to an endless stream of questions and misinformed opinion without any foundation in fact.
If you have some comments to contribute to the topic of this thread please feel free.
I have made my contributions and they stand as posted.
I bid you Good Day!
