Easy, Frances... my later rant was -not- inspired by Rowan. She and I have a long established pattern of speaking our minds (and whatever's in them at the time) to each other, okay? Just mellow... the folks I'm truly pissed at are the cowards.
I will reiterate: The posting was not in ANY way concerned with the current goings on in Iraq. It's something that amused me as a student of history, and -nothing- else. What set me off later was that one of the folks who'd used private email to flame me was someone I had to deal with a steady stream of German and Romany ethnic jokes... and that another is excessively fond of Polish and Italian jokes. Three of those bloodlines flow through me...
