While acknowledging the effort you've made to apprehend Declan by inserting the brackets and editing, I suggest that the original text may yet contribute to our effort at grasping Declan's meaning.>>>Maybe the problem is not Bush so much as the mindset that made him possible
Might not Bush supporters rather than being offended be gratified that he is not being called "the problem" ?
What do you suppose this mindset is? And why would it necessarily be offensive to anyone if it were a problem? Isn't it possible that a mindset could be a problem and make something possible which is itself not a problem? What does mindset mean to you Dr Bob?
I would seriously like to know. I'm often not quite sure what Declan means but I would never *ss*m* he meant something uncivil unless I was sure what he was saying. I see by the ellipse and brackets that you were trying to make clear what you interpreted as uncivil but I just don't get it. I hope you decide to explain.
And welcome back to the admin board!
