As for getting into a tit for tat as to what the definition of a "Commie" is -- forget it. I went back and read some of your other posts and am not interested.

Cop-out.
I have no love lost on AR, but he is obviously NOT a 'commie'.

My desire was not to drag you into any type of flame-fest or tit-for-tat, but to point out to anybody reading that using the term 'commie' as a catch-all pejorative is stupid.

Calling everything you don't like 'communist' and everybody you don't like a 'commie' just makes you look foolish.

Uh, Andy...if we had listened to you and the UN had never given permission for an attack - which it didn't, and if the French had their way, never would - children would still be in prison, the rape rooms would still be operating, and people would still be buried alive and fed into shredders.

But your conscience would be clear.

It isn't an improvement.

You have now insulted me twice, you really need to relax friend.

You could have better accomplished your goal by being a little more polite. Bashing an individual in a public forum to get your point across is rude, and certainly not in keeping with the esprit de corps that we are so accustom to here in the FreeRepublic.

I've insulted you once.
For that I apologize.

I also agree, I could have been more diplomatic.
However, as I stated, this behaviour infuriates me.
You, as well, could have been more diplomatic in your first response.

Let's leave it at that.
