Re your food point, yes, J.J. I am aware of that. I am also aware that food aid has been stepped up on a mammoth scale in the past days, with far more to come. It is to that increase which I was referring.

Yes, good point. However, you yourself are not immune from this, Yorick! There seemed to be rather a lot of intolerance and nitpicking from yourself at Fljotsdale, recently, just to take an example. Your posts were way over the top, - sarcastic and unkind, your response to what you no doubt saw as 'intolerance'. Everything little thing she said, you jumped on her hard, with both feet and a heavy weight. So I think it's a little thick for you to be preaching tolerance!! 'Let he who is without sin cast the first stone' and so on.

Anyway, from what I've seen of Liliara, she seems quite capable of defending herself

Originally posted by Yorick: Thankyou for that rare compliment Effie! Guys I must say I'm a bit concerned by the Liliara bashing going on. Where is the tolerance so valued and worshiped by those that are criticising? Seems to me that the tolerance is selective, and only accomodates those of a like mind.

Forgot to answer your main point - what gets me is the gloating tone. Personally, I find it quite nauseating.

True tolerance tolerates intolerance. Tolerance and absorbtion/acceptace are not the same thing. She's entitled to her views, and the nitpicking of her posts is starting to grate on me. You don't have to read her threads you know guys. I think the emotion she showed was understandable given the vulnerability many Americans have felt since September 11. Heck, I've been told by some friends in England that the British press is totally fearmongering over there. As evident from some of the English posts of late, I'd cautiously suggest this may be true. I feel safe. I am in Manhattan. Even if I'm not I have no fear. I will not be ruled by such a negative emotion. If I die, I know where I'm going. If I don't, I haven't let the situation run my life.

Fearmongering?? In what way? That's ridiculous - you don't see people here stocking up on 3 weeks worth of water just in case! I think maybe your friends may be panicking if that is what you heard, but not the majority.

And no-one is bashing Liliara. Let me tell you now that when I post about MY religious beliefs, I am very careful to always post 'In my opinion' or 'well I think that...' or 'In my view'. But I now think I will stop, and just tell everyone that my way is the only way and that everyone who disagrees with me is bashing me.

Belief in god is a nonsense. Lets have some rationality going on here instead of all this superstition.

OK, now perhaps someone would like to bash me for posting my beliefs??? Because I bet I'll get it back harder than I give it out.

Indeed.

Indeed. Actually, speaking just for myself now, Liliara hardly has grounds for complaining about bashing anyway.

Here is my imitation of a typical Liliara post:

"Dio, don't take this personally, this is not a flame or anything, just my opinion, but you are a traitor and you suck."

Did I say I was without sin? Did I say I was the epitome of tolerance? My actions do not prevent me from pointing out a current set of circumstances. The issue between your mother and I was made known to me and we resolved our issue. We also have a long history of respectful dialogue over more than a few months. Totally differet scenario.

If you are reading gloats you are reading between lines erronoiusly.

I'm just the messenger. That was the observation from friends in England. If you say it isn't so, so be it.

Ironic to hear you say such a thing, since it is nothing but FEAR which is driving the quick resort to military action.
