If you think I was as rude as you were, I'm sorry you had that perception. I didn't consider your analysis the same as your cognitive abilities. Your analysis is your argument, your cognitive abilities are personal to you. If you see all your arguments as the same thing as your person, then I understand how you could feel attacked. Now that I know you are your arguments, and that taking issue with them is the same as insulting you personally, everything becomes much clearer.

my commentary to kholt (whose response i was seeking) Sorry, didn't mean to be unresponsive. It just seemed like I had missed the boat so I didn't chase after it. So back to your original point. conflate the acts of terrorism to acts of 'protest' is the height of political spin I think that's a possible explanation. The world is complicated and a lot of things are connected to a lot of other things in various way. If you focus on A, then B looks like a subset of A. If you focus on B, then A looks like a subset of B. To a certain extent I think that's legitimate. To a mayor, a house looks like a part of the community. To a real estate broker, it looks like a part of his income. It's wen the broker denies that the house is not, in essence, part of his income that we have an anomaly, IMO. I think that it's valid to say that there is an underlying element of protest in terrorism. You can't legitimately divorce the two just as you can't legitimately conflate them.
