I think the partial anonimity of online forums are conducive to heated arguments. You can't read the facial expressions and body language of the person you are debating. Emoticons help, but in some situations they are terribly inadequate. Just try to realize that the interpretation of history is as much opinion as it is fact. ;)

I never used to use the word before you used it in one of your posts awhile back :-D Brian Azzopardi wrote: I hope what I wrote/write makes sense Politics and sense in the same sentence? Noooo! Never! ;) I really do appreciate your good understanding of politics, at least I know a bit more than I did before today.
