Same goes for me. We need to cool our jets sometimes.
The tone that >I wanted you to receive >was, "Why challenge or even >question me for typing historical >quotes?" Had these been in >a poster's signature, would it >have been met like this?
I hope so. I say question everything.
>I just happened to group >together observances of the many >(original peoples) about one particular >group (europeans). This is all >fact isn't it? I.E. these >quotes WERE said, weren't they?
Yes, and we were all commenting on them. HOWEVER, as you say, I tied them directly to you as the poster. That was probably hasty.
>And since they are not >my words, THEY and THE >WHOLE post is immune from >the racial bias that might >be attributed to me.
Except that, you did add your own words. And you supported them continuously throughout the post, so I aligned you with the rhetoric in the original quotations, and I'm not sure that was a false assumption.
But that was a good point.
