Sorry folks, but I can't let this go.
You're just "not getting it" Linda. You are referring to my post, which HAD
NOTHING TO DO WITH whether or not "genocide/conflict/war" is related to
psychology. Reread my post again, slowly this time.
Once more, for the back of the room: the post was stating (an opinion that
has been shared by many members of this list) that garnering support for a
political position was an inappropriate use of the list. That's it!! That
was the point!
Even the original poster has (graciously) agreed with this position, yet
SOMEONE refuses to let the thread die by twisting it into something that it
isn't. You _instruct_ the rest of us to read entire threads and place each
post in its proper context. I suggest that you follow your own advice.
