My apologies.

I hope I didnt hurt Magik's feelings.

My opening sentence in that post- "who the hell do you think you are?" wasn't meant to be rude, but I see how it can be taken that way. I didn't think Magik would take it as being negative but rather as just a strong expression.

I thought questioning a person's motivations with regards to love of country, and the like, to be deserving of a reply with at least one strong expression.

Anyway, It would serve me (and the rest of the forum) best to simply ignore any future comments of this nature as I find them...um... *things best left unsaid*. The only response I can imagine at this point is like the one I made, which begins with the question "Who the hell do you think you are?" This is can be taken as rude and inflammatory so is better left unsaid in the future. I will edit it out of my post, though it seems Magik has already replied to it in a quote, so he would have to edit as well if this sort of action needs to be taken.

Since it is clear and apparent that asking someone 'who the hell they think they are' is considered rude, I wont do it anymore. I promise.

Upon reflection, I can see now how it is counter-productive in useful discussion to ask such a question considering how easy it is to debunk such a crazy statement like:

He has his motivations and reasons for doing things, but it doesnt appear to have anything to do with love of country.
Heck- one simply has to go see Moore's most recent film or look around Moore's website to render a statement like the one quoted above completely mute, unsupported by facts, null, and void. No need to ask anyone "who the hell do they think they are?" at all. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Anyway, I digress...

Again, my apologies.
