I don't think my assertion was 'inflammatory' at all, in fact my sentiments and post reflect the complete opposite. I made my own opinion and pass on the topic (which is more aligned to what all the fine, upstanding usual Americans here expressed) and then simply summarized the unfolding debate as a petty squabble over semantics-- over what exactly constitutes this concept of 'heroism' and the wordy connotations thereof. I wasn't being purposefully inflammatory or controversial, I know when I'm turning on that "permanent huckleberry" behaviour, and this thread was not one of those occasions. My post was more of an extension of m3th's point of view, rather than the rootin-fer-an-argument Max remarks.Turquoise wrote:

Still, you had to know that you're walking into a shitstorm when you took the position that you did.
This may be the debate section of the forum, but as with a lot of debates, courtesy is few and far between. You made an inflammatory assertion, and you received an inflammatory response.
I'm not saying anyone's right or wrong, but no one should be surprised here.
