If you had read this thread and took in what it had to say, you might have realized that your post was one that could potentially seriously hurt another member's feelings. It was my opinion, out of respect for Fljotsdale, that you crossed a line.
There is nothing wrong with you beiong patriotic but to take your patriotism to being jingoism is a bit scary, even for me!
You have my apologies for any offense I gave you for being upset about it but I do care about Fljotsdale's feelings and was trying not just to stand up for them but to open your eyes to what your posts were saying.
I got an e-mail from Memnoch defending your right to post your opinion so don't think you are the only one being reprimanded here.
I understand your right to have your opinion but we as a community, should be aware of, and respect our fellow members feelings and for you to make that post, at that time, seemed to me to be a smack in the face to Fljotsdale's feelings which, if you had read her reasoning behind them, are not unfounded.
If you want me to edit my posts to you and remove my posts directing anger at you, all you have to do is ask. But do it quick...I am leaving IW for a few weeks.
