EastBay1K, I was poking fun at the territorial and condo "fights" that errupt between older "certain religious" type women and people who left a small island south of Florida.

I figured it's ok to joke around about it since my friends who are "of that religion" and from "that island" always do down here. But it's a very regional joke and would probably not be understood in California or New York.

Maybe next time I do any sort of "reference" to that I should type out a 15 page disclaimer for those who aren't familiar w/ the terms used or how they are using it.

Fyi, i'm not anti-jew or anti-cuban. I am, however, against people who stick their noses in MY business, and I am not a fan of the Castro Regime.

This all became an issue when I told david i would NOT delete my post because I had asked a moderator to do it. Another FTer followed my post with the original text, so even if I *did* delete my post, the text would still be intact, which is my logic for asking a moderator to strike the comments, which was done.
