Follow the thread.

"Terrorists are civilians."

Doesn't take much thread following to figure out you were off-base with that
definitive, and incorrect, statement.

Actually, that determination requires that you ignore the thread.

No, having read the thread it appears that you were a bit quick to make a
definitive statement; had you put a "sometimes" in front of your
declaration, it would have been A-OK. Since you have not objected to the
idea that sometimes terrorists are *not* civilians, we'll chalk it up to
your poor choice in wording. Everyone who posts is sometimes guilty of being
a bit less than clear with their wording at one time or another, and most of
us admit it when it happens--why you can't seem to do so is a question for
which I really don't care to know the answer. Adios.

While it may appear that way to you, it doesn't appear that way to anyone
following the thread.

How can you be so sure of that? Another premature/unsubstantiated
declaration from you, it appears... Does the absence of active disagreement
from others imply their agreement?

Because it can be no other way.
