Drop it.<<< Tommaso,I wasn't there either.....my initial experiences and observations about matters of this sort pre-date considerably the time frame of the "Kerry events". Maybe this fact enables people of that era to observe and judge the "Kerry events" from a perspective in which most America lovers rightly viewed traits like patriotism, treason, loyalty, cowardice, and demagoguery as personal characteristics to be carefully weighed when considering who should be favored when choosing our elected leaders. Most were able to make pretty valid judgements by observing the contemporary actions of these candidates. My opinion of your post to one of the most highly respected, and well-principled posters on this board...one who has invariably displayed an intellect far above most of us...and does it in such a courteous manner...my opinion is that it was way out of line. Having personally been a victim years ago of your unwarranted tactless and disrespectful posts which you frequently make in your attempts at being the "hall monitor" of this board, I feel justified in making a judgement about your qualifications to continue in this self-appointed office. It's clear that your obvious bias towards the support of the Marxist-leaning politicos in this country has warped your ability to continue chastising posters about their violations of the "no politics" rule, since you can't refrain from allowing the content of your admonishments to also violate the rule. Seems your mandates are always directed at only those of an opposite political persuasion from yours, doesn't it? So, would you....and your fellow travelers...DROP IT? Buck
