I still stand by what I said. The fact that you completely passed on what LB said because it was not up to your expressed standard of "interesting". IMO, you could have made your point & commented on LB's extremely pertinent point. Instead, you expressed that LB's point was less interesting than yours, then you ignored what LB said completely. That is precisely what I found interesting. Your point was regarding a question alluding that PC was allowing Muslims to immigrate to the US. LB's point was a stark condemnation of PC because it may have prevented us from stopping 9/11 (profiling) & this critical issue may not be addressed as part of the 9/11 investigation. FWIW, LB said, "The ACLU would have sued, and Kennedy's staff would have had their jobs if they had rejected them. They knew that, and went by the rules. This is being covered up by the 911 committee. I caught part of one hearing where the 911's committee Lawyer was savaging the FAA guy for not catching them. The guy replied, "It was illegal to 'profile' them." The 911 Lawyer didn't say one word in response." Message 19820302 And yes, I did say, "you managed to find that not interesting". I wasn't quoting you. You completely ignored LB's point, so it certainly was not of much, if any, interest to you - so that's how I framed it. Perhaps I should have said, 'you managed to find LB's point less interesting than yours, so much so that it wasn't worthy of any comment from you'. And I still do find that quite interesting.
