First off before people run for the hills im not going to address the threads topic. I do think Fell needs to delete it though.
Next
Spriggan in your latest post you stated
Oh and I NEVER promised anything
If this is indeed the case Im sorry, I guess I misunderstood Entropys Post and yours
,which by the way stated that you did promise to stop.
I know I promised not to say anything more
Next You claim I misquoted you about your statement on the political nature of vietnam.
Since that is apparently the only thing you think I "twisted" Iwill ask you to go back and red what you wrote. What you said was...
Vietnam was more political and such then any other war.
Emphesis mine
Which is pretty clear to me.
What I said was
I would hardly call it more political than any other war
How was that misquoting?
You did say the word"any", there no argument there, if you had meant "almost any" then you should have said it.
The only other thing I can see is the part of your post where you said you can fit almost any war into those catagories and I said you couldnt fit every war into those catagories and gave examples.
I knew what you meant and I was giving examples to disagree with you.
I never said you said "every" and never meant to imply it, if thats what your mad about then your the one twisting what I said
If there were other thing I misquoted you on I cant address them because you were only specific about that one.
Finally saving the biggest issue for last, I called you rude. Put your your feelings aside for a moment and realize that laughing at one persons opinion for half a page and then apologizing to them the next post sounds really half hearted, kind of like an obligitory way to save face after doing something that you know was wrong. I'll give you an example
"Jeffe you are a complete git for thinking that. Oh by the way Im sorry for insulting you that time before."
So yeah I called what you wrote rude, it was. Im not sorry for saying so. I found it especially rude since I also agreed to stop talking about a topic I care very passionately about and the other person who had apparently promised not to do the same in the interest of board harmony (my understanding of the situation after talking to entropy and saint and reading your I Know I promised not to do this quote) took advantage of it to jump right back into the thread and argue. I hope you notice that the minute Charlie told me to stop talking about my feelings on the war because its caused problems on the board I stopped. I didnt say a thing about you untill you hopped right back into the argument. If you feel like you have to have the last word I can respect that. But I think thats what this has become. Im going to ask Fell to either lock or delete this thread because its obvious that the subject is too divisive to allow on the board. Untill then Im done with it, you can post as much as you want to get your last word and I wont type a thing.
Jeffe
