    Where did he state that? It is a defeatest tactic to have to resort to
puting words in to other people's mouths.

     Insulting language is usually neither foul nor obscene. And no, the
use of insulting language is not ok. It is usually a sign of weekness when
one has to resort to insults or calling people names. The same applies to
the grouping of people together based on religion or nationality using some
slang term.

     You are by no means alone Michiel as insulting each other seems
to be allowed if not encouraged in this echo. But you are no better
than those that you critisize. When you cease doing the same things
that you complain about others doing then I might think otherwise.

 MV> Cheers, Michiel
