Good post, points taken in.
I have no problem with differing view points but when someone shouts a very "left field" position, then goes from one extreme to the other, at the same time contradicting themselves every few posts, without reading or answering anyone's questions asking him to justify what he said, then I would say at some point someone will challenge you to stand by your convictions. Especially when almost speaking on or setting US Gov't policy.
I did become a bit belligerent, fair cop, but it achieved the objective.
I queried you on the Pearl Harbour thread, you answered every question, in detail and with a well structured post.
