You need to read post 1235, 1236, 1247 and re-read the post where I pulled up some of your posts- this is all answered there though you will never admit it, I'm sure.
I would like to point out one more time, I posted this before but not with this much detail- this thread started with an article in the LA Times about people stranded in Lebanon- you should re-read the article that started this thread. In that article it talked of people who were there on vacation, it talked of people who were complaining that evacuees would be charged, it talked of people with all sorts of reasons for being in Lebanon.
Rebel posted the article, and mentioned he was in similiar circumstances. Many of the posts you and others complained about on this thread were posted about the article itself and not to rebel personally- they were addressed to rebel because he was the poster of the article- normal for FR.
Some of the freeper to freeper talk about vacationers, and whiners, and issues with travel out of the country and most of the other things that upset you in this thread were addressing the article- not rebel personally.
Some others on the thread got confused especially if they did not read the article and thought the same thing you did.
Yes there were snide remarks made directly to rebel, most were in response to statements he made about Israel and the Navy ships taking their time.
Yes there were posters on the thread that blasted rebel- that always happens on any thread, the funny thing is- those were not the freepers you chose to blast on his behalf.
Peach, at least twice on this thread after you started blasting posters you admitted you were not reading this thread- at least once you said you were only responding to pings.
It is a shame you did not read the article and the thread before blasting so many.
If you don't believe me start with the article and then read from post one and follow the back and forth as you would have if you had been on the thread. You will find many of the posts that you objected so strongly to never mentioned rebel- and for good reason, they were not about him, they referred to the people in the article.
You made the charge that I told Biker Babs she was lying about the extraction. You couldn't prove that and rather than have the good grace to apologize you tell me to read posts which I've already read and at least one or two of which are my OWN posts.
It's clear you don't mind looking foolish.
