However, since I am in complete agreement with the person to whom you posted, it is as if you posted your Taliban comment to me.
It's like this. When I criticize someone for having a certain set of beliefs or opinions, I also criticize everyone who holds to the same beliefs or opinions. Therefore, I will not be surprised when they respond as if I had directed my criticism at them. In fact, I welcome their contributions. The more, the merrier.
