Jim,

Well, you may "know" I'm a fire starter, but sometimes a perspective different than your own may seem to be a fire starter but is just an expression of historical facts that supports an interpretation different than your own, one that you may disagree with.

I would advise you of this: to participate in wrangling is the thing farthest from my liking, in spite of what you "know." Sometimes the truth is a fire starter, you may consider. I'd take that into consideration. Also, I don't like to be singled out for accusations unless others are singled out in the same way. I also don't like to quibble with people, so this is my final word on your remarks, which I consider intemperate. I'm also a full advocate, in an era of "political correctness," of freedom of speech. I believe political correctness is pernicious, in some ways even fascist, in its orientation, an attempt to get everyone to think exactly like the media or some politicians would like us to think. But I have always tried to be polite and courteous to others on this website even when the reverse has not been the case.

Respectfully,

Don Gilmore

P.S. I am quite shocked by your position. I do not want to participate in any forum that allows abridgement of freedom of speech. If you are trying to abridge my freedom of speech, please delete me from your roles. I won't participate in that sort of forum.
