Falcon,

I apologize for my attack in the last post. I think it is wrong to characterize an entire nation of individuals as worthless. Still, it was wrong of me to use that error on your part to defend myself from what I perceived to be an attack by you. They are two very different matters.

I see that you apologized to Jan for some of your Iraqi comments, so enough said on that. You had withdrawn the comment upon which my criticism was centered.

As for ASND, the ASND/CIEN suggestion was totally my idea and it was pushed by no one else. So, I take 100% credit for the idea that you deemed so clueless. For what it is worth, I was simply trying to stir a debate.

As for other ASND information, I've often posted data or conjecture that were wrong. On the other hand, I've sometimes posted data and conjecture that were correct. That's as good as it gets. Anyway, there are lots of ASND observers here who are smarter than I.

Gary Korn

>>>actually gary, I thought you were one of the smarter ascend observers here..... Read my response to jan's posting...a bit of that apology applies to you as well. The comment on the iraqi contribution was of the cuff, when my fingers were thinking ahead of my head....I do however resent you calling me a racist...and stupid...your wrong on both counts<<<

Actually, what Gary said was that due to your following statement...:

"besides, when was the last time an iraqi had something positive to add to humanity" Message 3502642

...you must be either stupid or racist.

I, on the other hand, would happily substitute the more accurate statement that for uttering the above racist comment, you must be stupid AND racist.
