If you were just joking about how sometimes here on the newsgroups
people get screamed at merely for voicing their opinon (who hasn't
experienced that) then I apologize for the insult.



If you worry about me, take it easy. I did not read any insults. So,
apology not taken because there is no reason to apologize. Nothing.



I think you got things mixed up. I was replying to the guy directly
above.




I think you were very respectful. I showed an American plane crashing,
you showed a Russian plane crashing. Planes crash every once in a
while. Sometimes, sarcasm can make a conversation a little more
interesting.


Yeah, I almost posted that one where the Su-27 took out the crowd but
that would have been in REALLY bad taste.





You and I are even. In the case you had ridiculized many more Russian
planes I would feel sad but I would not engage in a personal attack
for that. If you show pictures or movies of planes, you are just
showing evidence, not opinions. No reason to take that as a personal
attack, maybe with some sarcasm.


I never took anything as a personal attack.




You can see in the other thread "Russian Military Technology" how
people got personal with me since the beginning, every argument I gave
they made fun of me. Then, I fought back and really ridiculized them,
I lost my control. But, you know, you go and read the thread. You can
clearly see who started the personal attacks. Those people do not know
that I have this condition: http://www.ocfoundation.org/



I knew someone who had that and his life was a wreck. He never got it
diagnosed but he should have because it really affected his job. He
was excellent at what he did but he could never say "okay this is good
enough". He'd keep tweaking and tweaking and tweaking. We eventually
had to let him go because he never got anything done on time. Anyway
as far as this group goes the only thing that I've noticed that really
sets people off is when people say things are such and such a way,
offer nothing to back it up other than "because I say so" and then get
mad or insulting if you don't agree with them.
