More or less.

How's the weather on your planet? I guess it must be raining all the time.

I don’t use the BBS and rarely ever even visit the site. Not because of the content but because of the style.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

That’s obviously untrue as, although I might offend the back scratching band of the regressive right who dominate this section, they aren’t “everyone” here let alone elsewhere.

I argue when I disagree. Usually here, with politically distasteful statements.

Gracious as ever.

In a lot of people's minds, you're probably right. Unless you're a Muslim I'm not entirely sure it's anything to be celebrated. In Ireland there is an internet portal from Dublin to New York. It has had to be closed intermittently for, amongst other things, people goading Americans about 9/11. That sounds like the sort of thing you're talking about. I'd have to presume you believe they deserved it. An eye for an eye and all that. I prefer the US as an ally personally but I guess we can all swap to Iran or Saudi Arabia as they obviously hold the moral high ground.
As I've posted before my Grandad ended up between the Arabs and the Jews in Palestine. The mandate was for them to live together democratically. Obviously, neither side would accept that. I will admit the more extreme rejection was from the Jews backed by Israel. I guess they may have had their reasons.
Personally, never agreed with the separate states but asking these people to live together is clearly impossible.
How this equates to our own society today should perhaps be considered. But it looks like many people won't notice the self imposed segregation.

Red and Blue Army!
