I have no qualms with your political views, I am saying that it wasn't really necessary in the thread and that it would probably spark a debate that would end up being a flame war (especially if you are going to continue to be as abrasive as you have been so far), which none of the mods, admins or the person who can decide whether the forums should stay or not want.
I was not saying that you should not say anything, I just meant you should show how you came by your beliefs without any over-generalisations, assumptions, bias or faulty logic. In other words, when it is appropriate, please be sure to be open minded and take note of other people's opinions. Also, posting more than once in a row is not necessary, different content or not, because you can just put it in one post. the multiple posts gives the impression that you are too lazy to go edit your post. Then people will have preconceived ideas and not be as impartial to your posts.

so, i can't just air an opinion without explaining myself to a jury?
as for the multiple posts, i won't do it again in this forum.
the other ones on this board don't seem to care about it as the posters there frequently indulge in it themselves.
wait, does it count if you're responding to do different ppl?
cos if it does, "whoops!".
btw, i think it speaks volumes that (so far) the majority of this thread has been spent kicking my ass around the block for a style infraction instead of discussing the far more interesting topic of the original poster.
onewheelwizzard:
To be fair the fact that this has been the subject of 16(!) straight posts is everyone's fault. (And yeah, I got a LJ in late 2003, senior year, 'cause a lot of my friends had one and it was another line of communication. I never paid that much attention to it. Before then, the internet was just a place for text-based MMOs to me and my nerdy friends. PM me what your point was if you think it's important.)
In my opinion, it's probable that somewhere in the process that led to these massive explosions, someone wanted them to happen, but there's no telling where or why. Something like that happening so close to such conflict just doesn't seem like coincidence, though. The simple kind of sabotage necessary for blowing up a munitions dump is the kind that could've benefited (or arisen from the spite of) anyone for any number of reasons ... so many situations could've made it easy for someone to want to do that on purpose that it's unlikely that it wasn't. (Or maybe I'm a bit saturated in international-intrigue thriller plot concepts.)
Anyway, I'm glad I'm not in Albania, and I hope Patrick stays OK.

You know what RefD, I was saying you should use some critical thinking skills to communicate effectively. Now I don't really care. You aren't listening to us, so I don't care if you go double post in other boards because I can't be bothered getting worked up over you.
You have been here since 2005 surely in that time should have noticed how anal-retentive some people are here, and how stating opinions that really have nothing to do with a thread which are definitely of a political nature don't go over well here. You could also go to "Hi, I'm New" and read the rules and tips for posters, where it states things like would avoid dramas such as these.
Or you could just continue trolling about. Whatever floats your boats. I have better things to worry about at the moment than your asshattery.
edit It took me two goes to get this posted, dammit with the quick replies

so stating an opinion and then refusing to defend or explain it is trolling?
thanks for that clarification.
