Agreed. They are all lies.

Logically then, you would feel that if I do not believe it to be untrue, it is not a flame.
I don't know if I can agree with you about that. If you honestly believe that I am a racist, and call me one, I will still consider myself flamed.
As to your first point, I do not deny that I am posting this question now because of what has transpired. I did say it is not "directly" connected. None of the circumstances I mentioned were involved in my removed post.
