I could respond, pick out the petty way you've mischaracterised what I've said to turn it into something I neither said, nor believe, hotly dispute your allegations etc etc etc
But in a thread about remembrance, in which up until now the debate has been respectful and dignified, on today's date, I really don't think it's appropriate. I'll just remark that your attempt to make me say something I did not - and on this subject - is also pretty distasteful - even down to the threat of violence, on a day when we should be remembering those who were involved in violent endeavours on our behalf.
