Ah, so it is you who is arbiter of 'rudeness' ... this i had not understood, as it was not widely advertised
And by your standards, it is not rude to shoot people and take their lands
It is not rude to dictate to people what language they shall speak
It is not rude to bomb and roll your tanks over any part of the planet you wish
But it is rude to suggest to one of your own partisans that he might be perhaps a shade more militaristic than is warranted by circumstance
... uh-huh ... well tell ya what KLP, how about you take the week, or hey the year if you like, to refine these rules, spell them out in exact detail .... me, i'll be busy making a living ...hard to justify taking time off that until there is substance, so pardon me if i fail to respond to further opinions from you .... cháu
