Kosta retired a senior commissioned officer in the US armed forces, by the way.

That's great, and I appreciate his service, in every way except the presumed relevance to this thread.

Your remarks are how we got here in the first place.

This makes no sense, but maybe I'm not sure what you mean by "here". I only posted to this thread when I saw a broad-brush conflation of "mob emotion" and "Protestantism". My remarks, while acerbic, certainly didn't warrant "dweeb" or "take a hike" in response.

Perhaps I need to become more familiar with this term "graciousness" I keep seeing bandied about. It must not mean what I thought it meant.
