Seriously, what is your deal? Did someone make you the "fixate on one potentially offensive part of a post" admin? I said something that could have been misconstrued, clarified it and I think both Larry and I are on the same page. I certainly don't think I was entirely wrong (Larry conceded that the tensions are at least different, which is a point I can concede as better expressing what I meant) in what I said, but I wasn't wholly right either.

But the basic point of my post WAS right. And that's something that you frustratingly keep ignoring for the sake of your own self-righteousness.

Well fine, go ahead and praise yourself for being so understanding and respectful of other cultures. I on the other hand, prefer to cut the crap and talk about the actual issue.

If you'd like to do so as well, let me know.
