Read on.

 MvdV> But not writing as moderator. I.e. not wearing the hat.

That in and of itself doesn't mean he isn't the moderator.

 RN>  just as I am in the echoes I moderate.

 MvdV> That's your area. Your area, your rules. Here someone else sets
 MvdV> the rules. 

And doesn't follow them.  (-:[

 MvdV> No, it is mereley your opinon, not fact.

What good is my opinion if you don't understand it?  Not understanding my
opinion is your problem because you don't bother to ask for clarification.

 RN>  and not opinion or illusion, is to be moderate in his moderating.

 MvdV> As laid down where?

Common sense, which is all-too lacking here, but that's merely the tip of the
iceberg.

 RN> Surely you understand that and if you don't, then I feel sorry for
 RN> you.

 MvdV> Here is that arrogant patronising display of superiority again.

Yes, I'm often accused by my friends of that and you know what?  I am.  (-: I'm
even better educated than they and was taught the difference between right and
wrong at an early age.

 MvdV> If you feel sorry for me, you are not treating me as an equal.

I'm treating you EXACTLY the way your writings are construed not only by me,
but others as well.  You need to get over yourself.

[...]

 MvdV>> And you never asked yourself if there might be a reason why the
 MvdV>> US is so unpopular among so many people in the world?

 RN> It's because of ingrates like you, Michiel.

 MvdV> It is my fault that the US is so unpopulair among so manty people
 MvdV> in the world? Get real!

I NEVER mentioned ANY country.  Your hatred for the United States is showing
again.  I'm beginning to think you, Ward and Björn are related.

 RN> A lot of good men gave their lives that afford you the luxury you now
 RN> enjoy and you insult their memory.

 MvdV> And there is that "you should be gratefull,,, bla bla bla mantra
 MvdV> again. 

See above.  If you misunderstood what I wrote, it was commensurate upon you as
a learned person to ask me exactly what I meant, rather than assume and that is
your downfall.  You are blinded by your dislike for anything not European.

 MvdV> Sorry, Roger, no brownie points for that. Any credit you guys
 MvdV> gained for your part in endig WWII, has long been used up. You
 MvdV> (plural) are way in the red now and every mentioning of the
 MvdV> credit you once had, but lost, will only have an adverse effect.

I wasn't looking for any kind of points, whether perceived or imaginary.  You
are still looking at what I said and misinterpreting to suit your own ends.
