Nick, in a previous message you ended with this paragraph: > Given your earlier misrepresentation of French gratitude about its > liberation in WWII and now this comment, I'm wondering if you simply > don't know much about France or you have some anti-French prejudice, > or it is carelessness driven by your distaste for their position > regarding Iraq... or what? In any event, I hope the clarifications > are appreciated. This paragraph was totally unnecessary to discuss French history, and even if you didn't say "Gautam is ignorant, prejudiced, and careless", that insult still came through clearly. This, combined with your insults in an earlier thread, certainly looks to me like you picked this fight. And you criticizing someone for dropping names??? Next, will you be criticizing someone for defending their argument with their resume? It looks to me that you are the one who is having trouble discussing French history using an "honored debate approach". > My preference is that you just say what I wrote here that was > incorrect, and explain why. That would be my preference, too, but I would like to see you lead by example, Nick. > Vous parlez l'histoire Francais comme une vache de droite. > > Et si vous comprenez (sans assistance), peut-etre vous connaissez plue que > je pense. Here's how google translated that :-) You speak the French history like a cow about right-hand side. And if you understand (without assistance), perhaps you know liked that I think. -- "Erik Reuter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.erikreuter.net/ _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
