Re: [OT] Frog Bashing

Hello,

Thank you Alan. Why is it that the normally sensible people on this
list are so easily drawn in by John's incessant, bigoted trolls.

Times change. Nations that were once mighty are no longer. It is
easy to say that they are plagued by military incompetence, or are
culturally incapable of fielding an effective military. That is
a hollow and incredibly weak argument. About the only culture that
I have found that is fundamentally flawed in the military sense
can be found here: http://www.haightashbury.org/

I would comment on John A.'s drivel if I thought that he was capable
of looking past the wall of bigoted ignorance that he has erected.
The one time that I tried to discuss a point with him off-list he
ignored my off-list email and chose to attack me in public.

I guess the irony was that I had started to write a message
commending the list, and John in particular, for a month of reasoned,
on topic discussion. Evidently that was several minutes premature.
