<< Been kinda...  shouty up in Pynchvonville, these
last three days.
 
For my part--  not having been the recipient of any
off-list e-mails, myself  --I haven't noticed Michael
being a condescending Truthist or launching
personal attacks...>>
 
Well, pardon me for getting emotional. I don't think I have been condescending, certainly haven't meant to be. 
 
Is 'Truthist' a word? Is asking if 'Truthist' is a word condescending?
 
It is worth noting of course, that you are yet another person who pitches in behind teh proviso 'I have no speciall knowledge of the matter, but...' which is fine, but then you seem to be having a wee go at me purely on the basis that I *do* know something about the matter. Hmmmmm. An alternative strategy, if you have nothing to say on the matter, might be not to say anything.
 
As for launching personal attacks, you ain't seen nothing yet, bub! But seriously, I don;t think I launched any at Michael. I called some parts of some of his posts 'idiotic' and I would stand by that. Doesn't mean I think he *is* an idiot.
 
I certainly was the recipient of a personal attck, form Paul NIghtingale, way back when I first dared question Saint Chomsky's wisdom, but I think I answered his points fairly satisfactorily; certainly I never heard any more from him on the matter.
 
I repeat, maybe for the last time: what gets me hot under teh collar, is the way some people seem to be hmm-ing and ha-ing over 'whether' genocide was committed, or 'wthether' teh Serbs were the agressors. These things are not up for debate, just as we wouldn't debate 'whether' teh Nazis were in teh wrong.
 
This wasn't meant to be a debate about Bosnia. I just pointed out how wrong old Chomsky has been on that subject.
