Thank you for your clarification. In retrospect, I wish I had made my intentions clearer. Ah! but then I have a tendency to write fast and to credit my readers with intelligence lest I be thought of being patronizing and whatnot. Instead of being asked regarding my real intentions I was unfairly attacked at the outset. Naturally, I responded in kind lest I should be regarded as a "patsy" that couild be stomped on at the first opportunity. Perhaps you are not aware that certain individuals exhibit a fiendish delight in attacking others simply because they think they have a good command of, and great facility with, the English language. To me, such "critters" must not be allowed to get away with it scot-free: they have to be given a taste of their own medicine! Hopefully they will learn to be less fast on the trigger in future. Though my SI name of Richnorth may at first sight suggest Germanic connections, that is not the case at all. I have friends who have had suffered so much in Germany in the late 30s and in the 40s that later on they became paranoid about the ideals/causes of any new political or mystical organizations. So I do understand where you are coming from.

By richnorth: Which of course leads me to suspect that a raw nerve has been struck somewhere and some people have something to hide or wish to pretend that reality doesn't exist. Your comment: I believe this comment was directed to GB but may include me. My sensitivity on the issue has nothing to do with anything to hide. Instead it has to do with my family having lived in Nazi Germany. We are Lutheran but had more than our share of problems. As a consequence I am very sensitive to that particular ideology. Henry, The above comment by richnorth, had the intention to provoke. I have nothing to hide, and yes, I am extremely sensitive to racists because I have face them directly. They are hypocrites, and like to hide under the cover of mobs, and never claim they have done anything wrong. I have told you this before, and I will never get tired of repeating it. I have also seen the tactics these people use to infiltrate communities and influence people, particularly children. So, anytime anybody comes and "casually" introduces the garbage brought in here, and then pretend to "look innocently the other way" telling me they wanted to "debate" this ideology.... to me they have gone over the line. I don't buy any excuses in this respect because there is nothing to debate about an ideology that promotes murder, segregation, and the like. As it is usual, most of these groups attempt to paint their intentions with the face of religion, and call themselves "Churches". The only reality I am aware is that racist groups are nothing more than ignorant, criminals and not worth of any consideration. To pretend otherwise, can only show one of two things: either they are liars, for being one thing and pretending a different image, or stupid for believing such crap. I give them no more value than some idiot defending OJ Simpson telling me he was "innocent". I do not care what it is thought of my method to defend my views, I will simply not tolerate anyone spousing the racist crap. As I said, I acknowledge the fact that the are free to express it. Likewise, I have the same right to express my opinion.
