Ärende: CELEBRATION!
====================
 CS>>> It's his 'celebration' I object to.

 RW>> Why? The definition of the word seems to indicate that it could be done
 RW>> in many different ways.

 JS>      I think that it boils down to the intent at the time of the
 JS> posting. Did he really mean to rejoice in the deaths of all those that
 JS> died?

As we all have seen by now, he is.

 JS> Or was he simply trying to be sarcastic and didn't mean it quite the
 JS> way it was taken?

Since you now even concider he was sarcastic, why didn't you do that with
my posting as well?

 JS> I would be interested in seeing what Frank has to say
 JS> regarding his intent. In any event and at the very least he shouldn't have
 JS> made the statement. I would presume Frank smart enough (We have never
 JS> really chatted much) to know how and in what differant ways that his
 JS> statement might be taken. And then based on intent decide if he really
 JS> should make the statement. Which can and should be said regarding others
 JS> here too.

*I* have explaind *my* intent and have apologized for any inconvenience it
might have caused (although rejected by Dan but hopefully not by you) but all
we've seen from Frank is that he's keeping it up and that should tell you whom
is sincere and whom is not.

 JS>      The way that I see it is that Frank made a statement that was
 JS> particularly offensive to people both in the USA as well as elsewhere. I
 JS> think that those that may have a preoccupation with finding fault with
 JS> America, Americans, American government will use and have used the
 JS> statement to further their cause to bash America and Americans. Yes, that
 JS> will happen with or without Franks statement. But why help them make their
 JS> supposed point?

From now on I see Frank as a very bad example of an American but will not
blaim America for it.
