>I really wasn't trying to say that BrianBoru was hypocritical, although I can see that I expressed myself badly. I was trying to point out, though, that it could certainly come across as hypocrisy when someone who suggests that he was victimized because of his race then applies a similar sort of generalization to another race. I was trying to ask him to turn what he was saying around, and think about how he would feel if the same sort of thinking was applied to him.
I guess I was trying to say that The Golden Rule might come into play in the thread in question.
I'm very sorry if BrianBoru interprets what I wrote in the same way you apparently have, Verne.
