If it helps any, Liliara, I didn't take offence at your posts. I understand too well how Americans are feeling right now, and we have all to make big allowances for each other.
I guess this whole thing was my fault for not keeping MY feelings to myself. I should have been more sensitive. And I certainly should not have let my feelings show to Moni, by overreacting to something she said. I was cut to the quick by the comment she made, but at my age I should have had more self-control. I did not react much to her subsequent posts because she made it clear I had hurt her, no matter how unintentional it was on my part. My feelings are nothing in comparison to what happened in America. I DO find jingoism very threatening, but I now realise expressions of patriotism are seen differently in the US. Our language is similar, but our culture is different, hence it is easy for misunderstandings to arise. ------------------ [This message has been edited by Fljotsdale (edited 09-16-2001).] |

Liliara, I'm sorry you feel hard done by. Who said you were flaming? This has nothing to do with flaming, this has to do with trying to manage a very emotional situation that could easily erupt into flames. As I said before I respect your right to express your opinion and the fact that you feel very proud of our country. I'm just asking you to be more considerate to other members, irrespective of their views. That same sentiment has been communicated to Moni both privately and publicly on many more occasions than to you, so I fail to see why you feel singled out by this.

Finally, it's not my intention for this to turn into a slanging match, so this will be my last response on this thread. I've said my piece and given you a detailed explanation of my actions. You are of course entitled to disagree that's the beauty of our forum. If you still feel hard-done by you are more than welcome to take this up with Ziroc, or myself by email. ------------------ [This message has been edited by Memnoch (edited 09-16-2001).] |
