Being incoherent, are we? :-)


If I may--

Don used a previous posting of someone (who shall remain nameless) and quoted
almost word for word, substituting Iraq, AQ, et al, with Africa, UN, et al.

It did sound familiar, yes.

I thought it was a fine demonstration of wording that can be used in other
circumstances, even from almost the exact opposite side of an issue.

So there you are.

No argument there, Dave. I merely point out the fact it appears incoherent to
denounce whomever complains in o-t.d, and then go and do the same thing. In no
way I criticize the content or style of the post; only the incoherence between
"say" and "do".
