Louis, The problem was precisely the selectivity of what you presented. Now you admit that the Serbs acted like a "baying mob" in 1987 according to your chosen author. I can come up with all kinds of "demonizing" information about the Serbs that has been published by pro-Serb authors. I see no reason to do so in isolation from related "demonizing information" about the Albanians. Thank you for providing a smidgen of the other side of the story.
