Quite right, "Shut up and sit down!"

Are you accusing me of some kind of censorship, Larry?

There are very good reasons not to direct pure obscenities and outright
condemnations at other participants in a USENET discussion.  Some of us
have better things to do than take part in an on-line shouting match.

The key in each case is the term "vote": I said a "great many people", not
a "majority" (which determines the result of a vote).  But of course drieux
can't be bothered with such logical niceties, and prefers to reply to the
imagined rather than actual contents of my posting.

This has nothing to do with any "Communist threat", but far be it from me
to point out a major _non sequitur_ on drieux's part.

Not that I would ever suggest that drieux's postings are riddled with
obvious, serious logical errors.

Based on his cross-posting of his article to talk.politics.misc, it seems
fair to judge that drieux is much more interested in participating in a
mindless flame-war than an intelligent discussion.

Certainly not!  Just because you want to dictate what should and should
not be discussed concerning the MIA/POW issue and you wish to limit the
amount of coverage given to the issue doesn't make me thing you wish to
censor anyone.

The original poster of "ignorance" expressed a lot of honest anger, not
directed at you specifically, but at the people who follow the "party
line" and want to just forget about the men left behind.  You may profess
to a concern for those men, but you are urging that less the the maximum
effort be made to try and get them back.  What I don't understand is
why you are even reading this group?  Got a little Rambo-complex?

Dave,
This is in response to your private Email. 

Judging by the previous post, it's fairly obvious to me that the mindless
appelation should fall on your shoulders, not Drieux's. Isn't it
interesting that each time he asks you to think beyond the boundaries you
seem to have established for your own, narrow, little mind, you take
umbrage.

Why don't you grow up, mature a little or shut up.
