Very perceptive of you Anne. Although in this instance and in its context, you were not engaging in the debate, unlike Vince to whom this post was adressed. Conversely, this is absolutely terrific: someone says they delete all my posts on politics without reading and I'm NOT supposed to feel insulted? And when I make an anonymous blanket reply then I'm the one who's insulting and "pompous" (not your word, but Les'). Gee weez where have I been all this time? You didn't have the > courage and integrity to do so directly. I guess > actions do speak louder than words. I'd rather say I had the decency not to attack you personally on JMDL after being insulted in the worst possible way. You didn't say that you were not interested in politics nor in the middle east, which is your privilege. You said that all posts on politics from ME are deleted. So if that's not insulting then what is? I do wish to remain > ignorant of your opinions, as they are just that. I > prefer to get my information from recognized, reliable > news organizations, however slanted you may think they > are. All I ever wish is that people read 1 book before engaging in discussions on subject matters they know very little about. Not that I have the one and only truth. But I just don't feel there is a meaningful dialogue when one side relays the simplistic and often biased info from the media and claims to know what they're talking about. I don't claim to know much about lots of things, and you'll never catch me talking about something I don't know (Ireland, abortion, etc). Again, Anne, you were not engaging in the debate so it's really none of my business which info you chose to get or whether you read posts on subject matters that do not interest you. But yes you insulted me and I replied. Enough said. Laurent
